This might maybe be because a lot of effort is now poured on mid to end of life care, with the improving life expectancy? So the science behind pushing along a decaying body gets better?

I sure hope so! I don't have HIV but I do have a genetic disorder that's wrecking my body. I'm determined to live as long as possible.

My lovely wife is a live-liver-transplant kid and I too hope she outlives us all. Alas the 'organ preserving' drugs (the ones you take to help kidneys handle immunosuppressants) have difficult side effects. I'm not talking incomfort or pain, but pregnancy-terminating. Not the best way to end your first pregnancy...

And as it's 'just' prevention, it's hard to know whether it will reliably improve this individual outcome...
