The great majority of AIDS victims in the U.S. are gay or drug users or both and male victims greatly outnumber females with AIDS.
This is highly untypical of contageous diseases.
AIDS is a collection of diseases that result from a damaged immune system. Just the sort of problem you have with long term drug use and unprotected sex that is the norm in the gay community.
The only proof that HIV causes AIDS is based on a correlation between a positive test for HIV antibodies (not HIV itself) and one of the many AIDS defined diseases.
Lots of people test positive for HIV antibodies. But AIDS deaths are mostly gays and drug users and male.
Ask yourself why that would be. Ask yourself what other virus acts like that.
What you wrote is false. The amount of AIDS cases is directly proportional to amount of HIV cases. HIV causing AIDS has been proven by a thousand studies, all available on pubmed. There is more evidence HIV causes AIDS than there is that George Washington ever existed. We even know what mutation in our own HIV receptor for virus prevents AIDS in a small group of AIDS immune people.
“Lots of people test positive for HIV antibodies. But AIDS deaths are mostly gays and drug users and male.”
That is mostly false. The only groups that develop AIDS from HIV faster than others are those with already weak immune systems. Children, the elderly, people with another hit on immune system (hemophiliacs who got it from transfusions, people with genetic immune disorders, a really sickly heroin addict etc.)
