The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
I mean it is unbelievable if you just take a retro perspective look for 40 years at HIV mortality matched against exposure to or capacity to receive heart highly active antiretroviral therapy it's I don't want to say overnight but it's like within a span of two years you took something that was uniformly fatal and you've rendered it a chronic disease

in the late 90s we had it finally developed a highly active antiretroviral therapy as a treatment so we were able to do what we wanted to do which was to make HIV a chronic disease
