CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

You're a little late to the party, and the OP did not mention a cause of death. I was asking for accuracy. Context.

Do you honestly believe that AIDS played no part in this man's death? They're never going to put AIDS on his death certificate, so if that's what you're looking for, it's not gonna happen. Like with an alcoholic. They don't put alcoholism on the death cert, even if it's the reason the person died.

I think it just makes it more easier than saying a person died from complications that arose from AIDS and then stating what was the actual cause of death.

Who says he died of anything AIDS related is, I think, kind of the point of this discussion?

I don't understand what you are saying. his wife said he did have AIDS, was bedridden for a year and that he died from cardiac arrest and a blood infection.

The point in contention is whether or not anyone with access to the facts has said his death was caused by AIDS related complications. I admit I've only been skimming the thread, but there seem to be a lot of people saying that he necessarily died of ARC because he had AIDS. I'm not saying he didn't, but it is worth noting that AIDS doesn't= dying of ARC anymore. HIV even less so.

this is the first I am hearing of this I must admit. I know people with HIV can live long lives without any complications but people with AIDS start living on borrowed time.

Not with access to appropriately advanced health care. in SSA AIDS, even HIV, is pretty much a death sentence. But in most of the OECD countries, people with AIDS can expect the same sort of longevity and quality of life as a common or garden leukaemia sufferer.

I think NHL is up around an 85% 5 year survival rate these days. *sigh* Give me a moment and I'll look up AIDS life expectancy for you.

five years isn't what I would call long. longer then the one or two years I originally thought.

All cancer survival rates are measured in terms of the percentage of survivors 5 years after diagnosis. An 85% 5 year survival rate means that, out of 100 people diagnosed with the disease, in 5 years time, 85 will still be alive given the current medical standards. According to the article I just found, they're saying a life expectancy of 20-50 years for an AIDS sufferer with appropriate intervention. Without treatment, its more like 6-18 months. This isn't really my field by the way, so you may want to do your own research.

the article talks about how germans are late in diagnosing AIDS. it also talks about using HAART on those who have HIV. I tried finding the quote in the article you provided but it's not there.
