Researchers who have been following Danish HIV patients for more than fifteen years now see that the patients may live as long as other Danes if they take their medicine.Among other items on the linked page are data regarding the source of HIV infection (from 2010).
Homosexual | 102 (44,2 %) |
Heterosexual | 107 (46,3 %) |
Shared syringe among drug users | 4 (1,7 %) |
Haemophilia and blood transfusion | 1 (0,4 %) |
Morther-child infection | 0 (0 %) |
Other | 16 (9,6 %) |
This data shows that despite what the anti-equality groups are saying, HIV-AIDS is not just a gay disease.
The data in Denmark implies that longevity for those with HIV requires early diagnosis and regular medication. It should give those elsewhere hope as well.
