I have asked on another thread, and perhaps none of us know, but was the panel member with AIDs on the panel to represent patients or was he a scientist/doctor who also just happened to have the disease?

" I found it interesting that the AIDS patient on the panel, who was the only one who voted against approval, said
that a reason that he voted against Panretin Gel for KS was because he felt that there would be limited demand
for the product, since there were very few new cases of KS."

Is this really correct. I thought the motive or reasoning was that the drug caused pain and redness for essentially a cosmetic procedure. It is difficult to imagine anyone on a panel turning down a drug based on the panel members view of the market for the drug.
