"So then how are people still getting HIV?" Some folks don't know they have it, and there are big gaps in health care. Not everyone that needs to be tested or should be tested has the means or transportation to do so, let alone afford the medications. Theoretically, we could test this with normal bloodwork and have tax dollars pay for the medications, treating it like a public health cause. We just don't, partially because of outdated views on it, bigotry, and so on. Granted, this is completely ignoring the world outside the US, where there are other difficulties. This is the real world you were referring to, right? It should also be obvious that he's referring to folks that have medication available. HIV isn't the death sentence it used to be because we've made great strides.
