About 1 million people are living with HIV/AIDS in the United States,
with 40,000 new HIV diagnoses each year, according to 2003 statistics
from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Many HIV-positive patients also develop other conditions such as
diabetes, hypertension, cirrhosis and hepatitis that can lead to
kidney and liver failure. Patients then require kidney or liver
transplantation to survive.

That'll be thanks to those life-saving HIV wonder drugs.
HIVers who die from kidney or liver failure caused by HIV wonder drugs
are still recorded as HIV deaths.
