Sure, but I meant I'd rather be diagnosed with type-2 diabetes than HIV. The minute I'd hear the word "diabetes", I'd adapt my lifestyle and I would never have to worry about neuropathy and other diabetes-related risks. On the other hand, even with treatment HIV can cause trouble. And the treatment itself can have some nasty side effects (not to mention we don't know what prolonged use will do to HIV patients after twenty or thirty years of use--it's all very new).
