So might this indicate that the AIDS tests commonly in use are not sensitive enough to accurately report whether bone marrow donation or blood has the aids virus? Is it that they couldn't test in a system as complex as the human body? If so, wouldn't the tested population in the US actually have higher levels of aids than currently reported?

Wonder if behavior modification was part of the curative regimen...

Maybe the tests are sensitive enough...or maybe their behavior that got them infected in the first place didn’t change and they reinfected themselves.

It may be the virus hid out deep in the fat or nervous tissue and emerged after some time.

Good example why homosexual men should never be allowed to donate blood no matter what tests show.

Which the wanted to stop doing even though it is flawed... because it offended the homosexuals to ask them about their lifestyles and “discriminate” against them.

it was previously announced in another recent study that this kind of result was likely; that after heavy bombardment by the cocktails of anti-HIV drugs, HIV was discovered to be hibernating so inconspicously, and at such minute levels, in the body’s cells as to be hard to detect; where, if and when the cocktail of anti-HIV drugs is reduced or ended, it - the HIV - detects a change in the blood stream that indicates that fact, comes out of hibernation and starts attacking the immune cells all over again

There is a window of time after a person has been exposed to HIV during which the person will test negative because the amount of antibody is too low to be detected by our current tests. That is always a problem when blood donors are screened prior to the donation. If they answer the screening questions honestly, any male donor who is currently a practicing homosexual or a female donor who admits to even one sexual contact with a bisexual male would automatically be rejected. The ARC gives the donor every opportunity to be honest because the questions are asked via computer in a cubicle in which only the donor is present.

HIV is a retrovirus. There will never be a cure.

i’ll get flamed for this statement but here goes: No one ever died from HIV or Aids. They die or contract other deadly diseases. What is the difference between a lymphoma patient with or without HIV. Isn’t the lymphoma the problem. Does HIV cause the lymphoma? ( i think this is what the science says it does) Then what causes the lymphoma in a person without HIV? and where did the HIV apocalyptic epidemic go? Isn’t Magic Johnson still floating around 20 years after an HIV discovery?
