News@lemmy.world•Inside the ‘miracle’ drug rollout that could end Aids
3·1 month agoPeople, this is just propaganda - or at least misleading journalism. It’s just another drug that can help hiv carriers to live a normal life. Which is great in itself, but it’s not a cure.

4·1 month agoIt is correct. You have hiv but you die from aids. HIV, the virus, doesn’t kill you. It destroys your immune system to the point that you die from regularly common virus and infections normal people shrug off even without any medication. Hence hiv carriers might die from the common cold for example. But since hiv is the root cause of their death, rather than the common cold, we say they died of aids = auto immune deficiency disorder. This also allows to differentiate between asymptomatic carriers and people with symptoms.
To anyone confused as I was, they are talking about a location in Mexico roughly 31 miles away from the USA border, not 31 miles of border length.
