It would be FASCINATING to see the researchers use a control group of 'HIV positive' people who don't do any of the pharma. Everything is by design obscured by this silly language they use 'associated with the disease and the drug cocktails used to treat it'.

I asked the Microsoft AI chat system about this and it said, "As of the end of 2022, it was reported that 76% of people living with HIV were accessing antiretroviral therapy (ART)https://www.who.int/data/gho/data/indicators/indicator-details/GHO/estimated-antiretroviral-therapy-coverage-among-people-living-with-hiv-%28-%29. This suggests that about 24% of individuals who are aware of their HIV status may not be on ART."

They have a pool of people they could use as control for this so-called HAND thing, but we all know they won't do that because it would tell us what we already know, it's the pharma drugs that are messing people up.

The whole thing is so messed up.

I think it’s actually lower than 76%, unless that indicates 76% of those that know their status. Even that seems high. They’ll never use that control group, which is ridiculous because there are clearly plenty of people that would volunteer, as demonstrated by the statistic above.

Yes, that was specifically from people with known status. It makes me wonder how many people have quietly stopped taking ARVs because of side effects. That would be interesting data to see, although I suspect the system that likes to 'retain people in care' makes that a challenge to do.
