I have a friend who does work (mostly manual labor, handyman stuff, etc) for me in our house. In his early 60s, strong as an ox, and he's been HIV-positive since the 80s. That deserves an asterisk, as his levels are below detectability (and I believe transmissibility), and have been for a long time.

That's fantastic! I was recently doing some research and learnt that with ART people who are HIV+ can actually expect to live a little longer than people who are HIV-. I think it's because they have more regular check ups to make sure that treatment is being maintained.
