That was from 2012 during an official AIDS conference - the same statement, just without a definitive appraisal, but more of the same.
And I am basing it on many other aspects - you obviously have not looked at it.
Still - I am curious - let's assume you test negative repeatedly in the future, would you continue taking the meds?

Oh - by the way - I was not aware of this, but Charlie Sheen tested negative recently and he does not take the cocktail any more:
If he were a pro-boxer, then he could legally fight again in the ring. Seems all legit.
