Remember that perhaps the most insidious things about HIV has been not its deadliness (which has been ameliorated by 20 years of research) but the fact that it can be contagious for a long time before it makes itself obvious: i.e., not its deadliness alone, but its delayed deadliness, giving it time to spread to other victims.

Agreed, there's like two stages to the virus. The first infects you (and almost everyone you have unprotected sex with) and only presents flu-like symptoms, then months or years later you'll prevent full blown HIV symptoms and this is when the virus is fighting you and mutating like crazy.
