TORONTO -- A man known as 鈥�The Lisbon Patient,鈥� once the oldest known person living with HIV, has died.
Miguel, a pseudonym used in a case study, was 100 years old. He 鈥渄ied peacefully鈥� while sleeping in bed, according to his doctors in Portugal.
His case represents an important reminder for people living with HIV and those who still consider the illness a death sentence, said HIV specialist Dr. Giovanni Guaraldi, who co-authored the case study and spoke with 麻豆影视 last year.
鈥淲e need to make people know,鈥� he said. 鈥淭here (are) still a lot of people living with HIV that consider their disease something dreadful while actually鈥� regardless (of) experiencing and living with a chronic disease, you still can experience healthy ageing.鈥�
