One example, for a scientific explanation, could be the way that the gay men take care of each other, which is very impressive. At one time, in the beginning of AZT, it was fashionable for everybody with AIDS to have these little pill boxes that beep every four hours. They reminded each other to take their medicine. So, it isn't just the support. It's also the real objective, practical things that can result from getting support.
Many people have a hard time taking their medicine.
It's hard, and I assume it's very hard for the women to take pills. They're no different in that regard, maybe even a little bit worse, because they have so many other things and people to take care of. Women may be least likely to care about their own health. When you have support around you to take those pills on time, you're going to take the pills and your survival will be longer and your quality of life could also improve. These kinds of issues that will also help the women.
