- And, on the other hand, many people believe that this somewhat artificial
- distinction -- trying to define that tiny point on the HIV continuum, by
- whatever method, where one becomes the other -- is an effor that serves us not
- at all well, by reducing the perception of the number of people with HIV disease
- and by equating the moment one crosses the mark with a death sentence. Many
- doctors here, at least, refer only to "HIV disease" in all cases.
