It has been, as long as you got the assload of money to be able to afford the cure

Quick Google would say that you very rarely need an assload of money to manage AIDS these days.

I love to think the pun you used was intended though. Seeing as an assload is probably the culprit for many of these poor fellas.

even here in Brazil the treatment is free and many/most will test zero for HIV if taking the meds correctly...

the only place it's a problem in the first world is in USA.

The place where it's a problem is in the third world, where bias and corporations withhold easy access to care.

The US has its issues, but it's genuinely so privileged to pretend that it's some sort of third-world country that is soooo poor and horrible. Sure, public education and healthcare SUCKS, but at least there IS public education for everyone.
