A virus is a foreign protein. The test for HIV doesn't elucidate the retrovirus, it only detects a lingering antibody to the long since departed active virus.
Do what so many homosexuals do and get a grip on yourself. A virus doesn't know that you're a male or female, young or old, homo or straight. By now, every heterosexual in the world should be infected or dead!
Stop and think for a moment. How do you acquire an immune deficiency? How can one harmless retrovirus cause over forty different diseases? Why would any doctor give someone with an immune deficiency a DNA chain terminator, a drug so toxic it had been abandoned by BW?
PPPPPPPPUUUUUULLLLLEEEEEAAAASSSSEEEEEEEEEE!
you can't be a real doc and not know how the HIV virus works. Heck, I'm a PRE-med, and I can tell ya that you're completely wrong.
HIV attacks a certain type of lymphatic cell (T-cells, if I remember correctly). Once the lymphatic cells are killed, that's AIDS. Those 40 diseases your referenced? Those are opportunistic infections that take advantage of a weakened immune response.
You sound like someone who has studied bio/biochem so bear with me because I've not. Your statement leaves out the impact of the retrovirus on T4 cells. In fact I've never read that the retrovirus was responsible for AIDS per se, but that it did in some manner cause the destruction T4 cells, and hence the immune system, that resulted in the mutiplicity of diseases one sees in someone with AIDS. T4 cell < 500 --> inefficient immune system --> multiple disease state.
Are you saying this is not correct, and if so, would you explain.
I take it, "Doc", that your degree is not in Medicine.

It's hard to believe anybody would actually believe this sort of delusional nonsense in this day and age...but to those who do..this insane denial is responsible for countless deaths.
God have mercy on you.
You sir, obviously have no understanding of viruses, immunology, or immune deficiency disorders.
