[quote=Anonymous]Clearly, the drugs that were developed to treat HIV infections have saved millions of lives and have made HIV no longer a "death sentence." However, I have a family member who received the most advanced treatments (including several clinical trials), were faithful about taking their medicine on a strict schedule, and still died a horrible death. The drugs have huge side effects, and do not work for everyone. I am very happy for those who have been able to lead a mostly normal life after diagnosis, but I find it very upsetting when people act a though a HIV diagnosis is not a life-altering event (which I see all the time). I sometimes think the whole "eradicate the stigma" campaign has gone too far the other way. [/quote]
