Why didn´t Miguel get Aids too?

Malaria actually got its name from an earlier belief that it was caused by "bad air". Another failed hypothesis.

OTOH, having unprotected sex once doesn't mean that you don't get it. I had a good friend who had unprotected sex just one time: he figured that the virus hadn't spread to Brazil yet. He was wrong. He's gone and the world is very much poorer for it.

It is amazing that it's no longer the death sentence that it once was. We lost too many good people in the 80s and 90s.

It is also true that there are people who have lived with it for a long time without heavy drug treatment, but those people are the exception. It's not because they live cleaner or have more happy thoughts than the next person. They just won the genetic lottery.

Mortality rate of HIV positives who take the drugs is 6.6-8.7%. Mortality rate of those who don't is 1.4%. So the whole "everyone will die if they fail to 'treat' their HIV" argument does not hold up. Nobody batted an eye when 300,000 people were killed by AZT from 1987-97. And today, HIV positives who take their drugs as they are told are dying of liver failure more than anything else, which again, is not an AIDS disease, but an effect of the drugs that we are told are "life saving".

People with legitimate arguments do not resort to name calling and personal attacks. And sorry, but I am not swayed by "HIV causes AIDS because AIDS is caused by HIV because that's what the scientific community says and that automatically makes it true and anyone who questions this is a Holocaust denialist equivalent who wants babies to die."

If the AIDS establishment had accomplished a single thing, that MIGHT be a legitimate case, but as I've said before, it has not. After 30 years, no cure, no vaccine, no lives saved, just billions flushed down the toilet, hundreds of thousands killed by failed cancer drugs, and an ongoing terror campaign in the name of fighting a tiny passenger virus. That is not my definition of success.

You an still contract AIDS by being the giver I believe. I always assumed that Miguel and Andrew presumably separated after Andrew's infidelity then reunited when it was discovered that Andrew was sick.
