On the Fact that (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTxvmKHYajQ&t=17s) for Almost a Decade, Hemophiliacs with the HIV Virus Had an Exceedingly Low Mortality Rate and it Wasn't Until a) the Link Between HIV and Full-Blown AIDS Was First Announced and b) Doctors Started Pumping These Patients Up with AZT (Perhaps the Most Toxic Drug Ever Invented) that the Death Tally Started to Rise Exponentially

So it seems that the stress of the diagnosis in 1984 and the pharmaceutical protocol established in 1987 were more critical to the demise of these patients than the virus ever was. Interesting.....................................................................................................P.S. And no, this isn't necessarily to proclaim that the HIV virus isn't involved at all, just that there seems to be a myriad of other factors at play here in addition (rampant drug use, sleep deprivation, resistance to antibiotics, malnutrition, multiple STDs, etc.). That's all.
