While looking for something else on San Francisco's heath departments website I found the following two things.
In San Francisco
Deaths from AIDs dropped 70% from 1996 to 1997. That's in one year it went from a relentless death sentence to manageable chronic.
While almost everyone that got HIV in the mid 80's are dead most people that got HIV in the mid 90's are still here.
If that's not winning it's close.
- KennyBlanken 2y ago10,000 people a year die of AIDS in the US. Not even remotely close to "winning." I suspect a large portion of those deaths are due to poor sexual education thanks to christofascists, and people who don't get tested regularly because of poor access to family planning and reproductive health, again thanks to christofascists. All because Magical Sky God Said Abortion Bad. That and people who lose their healthcare and can't afford the meds because this country is the only developed nation in the world which does not treat healthcare like a universal human right, because corporations want to keep using health coverage to keep workers from switching jobs more freely, because they don't want a free labor market.
- mensetmanusman 2y agoIt’s mostly through drug use, poverty, etc.
- rjzzleep 2y agoIsn’t that like a third of gun deaths in the USA? Personally for me this idea of trust that it’s undetectable and therefore non jtransmissible is not a risk I would recommend anyone to take, but at the same time we have to put things into relation no?
