"Are you saying that someone with HIV dies? That is a revelation."

I must be expressing myself very badly. Let me try again:

I am noting that the evidence says that someone living with HIV/AIDS taking antiretrovirals has a much longer life expectancy than someone who is not taking ARVs:

"UK study shows how better HIV drugs extend lives

October 12th, 2011

According to a study published Wednesday in the British Medical Journal, the life expectancy for people in Britain who have HIV rose by 15 years between 1996 and 2008, due in part to earlier diagnosis and better treatment, as reported on London South East.
The work used data from the UK Collaborative HIV Cohort study, which began in 2001, with the scientists looking at patients aged 20 and over who started treatment with at least three HIV drugs between 1996 and 2008.

The analysis showed that life expectancy for an average 20-year-old infected with HIV increased from 30 years to almost 46 between the periods 1996 to 1999 and 2006 to 2008.

"We should expect further improvements for patients starting antiretroviral therapy now with improved modern drugs and new guidelines recommending earlier treatment," commented Margaret May, who worked on the study.

The findings also showed that during the period 1996 to 2008, life expectancy was 40 years for male patients and 50 years for female patients, compared with 58 years for men and nearly 62 years for women in the general UK population.

Commenting on the findings, Elena Losina, a senior scientist at the Boston Brigham and Women's Hospital, said that although the progress was encouraging, it should also serve as "an urgent call" to increase awareness among patients and health workers about how effective HIV treatment can be, especially if started early."

I am also reporting that AQLV reports that those subjects in their uncontrolled unapproved study of the "magic water" that it claims is a drug that can treat AIDS chose to discontinue their ARVs:

"Earlier this year, Mr. Mutisya supplied 10 Kenyans with our NatuRx™ HIV/AIDS treatment. Since then, they stopped taking their costly antiretroviral drugs"

http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/releases/228234.php


Months after making this intial claim they have recently revised this to say these patients discontinued these life-saving ARVs against the advice of their physicians and AQLV, although this latest claim has not been released in the public domain, but rather on AQLV's private chat board.

These patients would obviously not have discontinued their ARVs if they had not been unfortunate to have been involved in AQLV and Mr. Mutisya's unregulated and unapproved clinical study (no Ethics Committee would ever have approved it for precisely that reason).

So what I am saying is that AQLV by recruiting these ten patients into its unauthorized, uncontrolled study of its investigational drug has hastened the death of these patients - indeed for all we know some of them are dead already.

I do hope that's clearer and you can follow the trail of logic.

If not please let me know and I'll try again.
