PatientsLikeMe, the leading treatment and outcome sharing community
for people with life-changing conditions, announces a new community
for people with HIV and AIDS. With more than 650 members to date,
patients can keep a pulse on the progression of their disease over
time and compare their experience to others like them. Each patient's
personal health data (including CD4 count and virus load histories) is
displayed in charts and timelines that are then openly shared with
other members.

[...]

In a video series released today, PatientsLikeMe member, BrightonBear,
shares his personal story of living with HIV for more than 25 years.
One of the first to be diagnosed in the United Kingdom, BrightonBear
has never had an HIV-related illness. He joined the PatientsLikeMe HIV
community in an effort to find another person like him.

"I know I am incredibly lucky and unusual having never had an
HIV-related illness in all this time," says BrightonBear in the video.
"I still share the same fears that other people have. Just because
I've lived with 25 years with this and not been unwell doesn't mean I
don't worry about the day that I'll become unwell."

Oh look! Someone else with killer HIV who's still around 25 years
later to tell the tale.

That's the point. HIV doesn't kill, which is why we have HIVAIDS.

HIV is a 'virus' that cannot be found, but is suppose to, possibly,
lead to AIDS after more than a decade. No one can explain how this
process happens. Idiot HIVAIDS scientists just throw their hands in
the air and demand more time and money for research when asked to
explain their theory.

I agree, hiv does not kill.
You could say hiv is the door-man for other dis-eases
to enter and do the dirty work.

Not every-one catches pneumonia as an example at the same time, same rate
or at all.
And you have to take in the behavior factor................
