This isn't X or Y, this is X and Y.

Plus, to be really frank. HIV has broader consequences. If it ever mutates to spread through air or water, like common cold viruses. Then we are staring at an extinction level event.

The risks are far more higher.



Would it really be an extinction-level event? I've read in many places that the life expectancy of a person with HIV on retroviral therapy is pretty much the same as it would be without HIV nowadays.


Leaving aside the quality of life argument. What about babies born with HIV? Do you think they'll have the same life expectancy?
