You can’t use statistics to evaluate what would have happened to an individual. Someone’s personal behavior matters more than what statistically ‘should’ have happened to them. It also depends on where they were located; while 10% of young gay men in the US as a whole died of AIDS, over 60% of young male deaths in San Francisco at the height of the crisis were due to AIDS.

Woah. 10% is insane. That's ~5% of the entire population.
