A member asked:
Is it true that with today's medicine hiv is usually more of a chronic, manageable disease rather than an automatic death sentence like it once was?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: This has been the case for many years. However, I'd urge everyone to be VERY careful to avoid becoming infected. It's not easy or pleasant to manage, and one is still chronically sick.
