    “It’s sad that really young people are forced to take this measure in order to survive,”

Um...I know AIDS isn't a death sentence as much as it used to be...but it's isn't like it's "surviving" in the typical sense. You're still dying. Right?

I'm not sure about the medicine, but even if they are dying, it's manageable, and their living situation is far better than it would have been without it. They're away from other dangers, they have a place to live, et cetera. Surviving in the world/society. We're all dying, really, and I guess that's how they look at it.
