Cocktails and combinations of AIDS drugs can keep the virus in check for many years, allowing those who are diagnosed and treated early to live full and long lives.

I doubt the "full and long lives" part.

Same here. I have heard of horrific life-shortening side effect of these drugs, which must often been ramped up over the life to maintain their effectiveness. Most of the AIDS-carriers experience these, and the life-span continues to be shorter than even SMOKERS, at a lower quality.

And if they are the least bit lax in their regiment, the disease comes back resistant to the treatment.
