So my parents got back yesterday and said the original hospital either told them wrong or didn't know what was happening. When they got to the hospice he was eating fine and could swallow, so they don't know if maybe the medicine the hospital was giving him was causing the problem or what. Anyway, the hospice isn't keeping him anymore since he's not dying, but the doctor said if he doesn't start taking the HIV meds, he will. So it's up to him. Leaving it up to him means he most likely won't take them, so it's only a matter of time before he gets sick again. The hospice social worker is now looking for a place for him to live with someone else since they said he can't live alone. Without someone literally forcing the meds down his throat every day, I know he won't take them on his own because he either doesn't think it's serious or he doesn't care enough about himself to want to live. So we'll see.
