I did some extensive research into this case and you are right--he did
believe HIV causes AIDS but also believed the ARVs would do more harm
than good. Who's to say if he'd have lived a longer or shorter period
on the drugs? Is there much info out there on how long people who stay
on ARVs for really long periods are doing? What about the fact that
those around him did not support his choices? There seems to be much
evidence that believing you're going to die can indeed make it so.
And what is the possibility that the more you have screwed up your
immune system with drugs and indiscriminate sex with people who have
multiple STDs, the greater your chance of eventually succumbing to AIDS?
