Is that accurate though? Do most people who get HIV never develop AIDS, without needing any drugs to keep it at bay? It's a nice analogy if it works, but if not

- CatWChainsaw 3y agoNot everyone who has GBS develops MS and not everyone who gets COVID develops Long COVID so far as we know; HIV/AIDS is the odd one out of these analogies. I don't know to what exactness the comparisons in terms of percentages of people who develop the chronic syndromes, time to onset, severity of symptoms etc, would need to be in order for an analogy to have any utility to you, so I suppose we'll see in 20 years.
