The ratio of those under care to those without satisfactory care is amazing. Only 28%! This came true for a neighbor of mine who, after resisting his mother's urges for several weeks, finally went to see a doctor, only to discover the guy, (who has known for years he was poz), had a severe case of pneumonia. It took three weeks in the hospital to address the pneumonia. Turns-out the guy had been ignoring the HIV infection, and had not been taking his meds. Very sad. Hope he (and his family) have learned the lesson.
