HIV is no longer a death sentence; HIV-positive people in first-world countries with access to healthcare have the same life expectancy as people without HIV, although they develop more health problems. Testing positive for covid reduces someone's life expectancy by a few years, although we don't know what the long-term impact on immune systems will be.

getting HIV does cut your life expectancy, more than getting COVID. you don't understand how life expectancy works

How long did it took before people started to realize that HIV was a serious danger to people?

We're just only starting to see the very tip of the iceberg of SARS-CoV-2

it is way too early to make any kind of assessment, considering nearly every American child has had Covid, and we’re only a couple years in.

Covid has killed 25 million in three years.

The guy who said he'd rather get HIV than covid is an epidemiologist, not some random goon.

aids isn't curable, but it's p. manageable these days (if you're not a poor in usa), where most people in industrialized countries who get it will live to see old age
i'm sure we'll get drugs/antibiotics that specifically target covid and prevent worse outcomes too though. plus, vaccines already exist and usually make the infection much milder

e: unfortunately, loving everyone has covid now lol
