WTF does this mean?

If you go off your HIV meds you get AIDS and die. If you stay on your HIV meds you have a life expectancy is similar to someone who does not have the virus. (1)

Do you then conclude HIV meds are bad? Or HIV patients need to just suck it up?

I think he is implying that if he went off the meds, his life wouldnt go to the can: that the effect can be explained by the placebo effect.
