Erdős problem 785

Let A,B⊆NA,B\subseteq \mathbb{N} be infinite sets such that A+BA+B contains all large integers. Let A(x)=∣A∩[1,x]∣A(x)=\lvert A\cap [1,x]\rvert and similarly for B(x)B(x). Is it true that if A(x)B(x)∼xA(x)B(x)\sim x then A(x)B(x)−x→∞A(x)B(x)-x\to \infty as x→∞x\to \infty?

Danzer [Da64] proved that exact additive complements exist (Hanani had earlier conjectured they do not exist, as reported in [Er57] and [Er61]).
