HIV: Cause or Effect?
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)
- It is present everywhere like the cold virus
- It is an opportunistic organism like Candida albicans
- It is of low infectivity and virulance in healthy individuals
From the onset, in early 1980s, research into the aethiology and possible preventive and curative measures of AIDS (Aquired Immune Deficiency Syndrom) split into two main lines of approach:
- Viral causation of AID
- Refutation of viral causation and search for other primary aethiological factors.
Time has given credence to the second approach:
- HIV claimed to be the causative factor of AIDS has shown itself to be of very low infectivity and virulance in healthy individuals - no more lethal than the cold virus.
- Presence of antibodies to HIV is an indication of a healthy, normal and natural response of the body to the virus - just as in other viral responses, to curtail the proliferation of the virus.
- AIDS has remained confined to certain high-risk population groups instead of becoming a full-blown epidemic - contrary to previous gloom-and-doom predictions.
- Symptoms of full blown AIDS are identical to
Stage IV Syphilis.
- Prevalence of AIDS parallels prevalence of Syphilis.
- AIDS is preventible and treatable by the same measures utilized to prevent and treat Syphilis.
