HIV is not spread casually. You don't get it because someone with it shook your hand or coughed in your general vicinity like you can with covid.

HIV gets transmitted by sex, sharing needles or similar. So, no, it's not comparable. It's vastly easier to avoid.

Nonetheless, they've made a lot of progress on treatment since I first began hearing about it in high school.
