Swayze dîed of AIDS.  Isn't interesting how in the past 20 yrs no public figures (celebs, athletes,) have died of AIDS?  All "cancer"...uh huh.

That is very interesting.

Jobs?

No evidence of that.  As I said, with rare exceptions, these days no one who has access to HIV meds should develop full blown AIDS.  HIV is now a manageable disease.  Of course other diseases make it more complicated, such as Hep-C. Or some treatments for cancer, which suppress your immune system even more.

Now people who have been on HIV meds for 20+ years do seem to have a higher risk for heart disease.  But those doses in the early years tended to be rather harsh.
