The CDC needs to change there terminology to advanced HIV since you can live just as long as
Someone who just has HIV. The word AIDS is a stigmatized word if you ask me. People here that word and they think your at deaths door

Well, I disagree if your CD4 count is low and you have an opportunistic confection you have aids. If you recover and your CD4 count is normal. The you no longer have aids. You still have HIV no longer aids. Just said he lied to us and told us that you could never have sex again with someone even if you run detectable because you could still infect someone. Which turned out to be bullshit if you’re undetectable, then you should be able to have normal sex without the fear of transmitting the disease.
