Do you happen to know if there's been a study done to test the incidence of fungal pneumonia in non-HIV-positive patients vs. HIV-postitive patients who are not being treated for HIV/AIDS vs. HIV-positive patients who are being treated for HIV/AIDS? I'd be interested in those results.
Anyway, I am VERY skeptical of western medicine though my life has been saved more than once by modern medical advances. I do my best to stay away from doctors and medicine.
