AIDS: not true?

There has been rumors that the AIDS is not true. It is a made up disease, the vaccine given to the "victims" are not vaccines, and only makes the infection worse. To the HIV (claimed to be AIDS positive already) victims who have stayed and didnt take their "medications" lives and doesn't die.

*Thanks for sincere answers, I do believe in it, it's just rumors are very effective to give doubts, thanks for sheding a light.

Where did you hear that?

no aids is DEFF real. the meds might kill people due to reactions or for any reason .

Another conspiracy theory... very sad that one would think that a terrible disease like AIDS isn't real.

The same kind of BS like the conspiracy theory that the Halocaust never happened.

Wow...are you saying you believe that conspiracy theorist jargon?
I'm not sure where AIDS came from...but I know it has claimed thousands of lives. I don't think entire communities in Africa or all the doctors in the world are all in cahoots with each other to kill innocent people...even new borns.
That is messed up...where are you hearing this rumor?

HIV is a virus -- it is a clinically identifiable virus -- it is known that in most people who contract HIV, without treatment -- the disease progresses into AIDS.

AIDS is a syndrome -- not a virus -- it's a group of symptoms or characteristics caused BY the virus. There is no vaccine for HIV, nor is there a vaccine for AIDS -- there are only medical treatments.

A person who has HIV will almost definitely (barring a natural immunity -- which I'll go further into, shortly) develop AIDS if he or she is not treated with medications to prevent HIV from completely destroying the immune system.

HIV is a strange virus. It doesn't directly kill us -- it attacks something called the CD-4 cell. The CD-4 cell is part of our immune system -- the parts of our bodies that fight off infection. Each immune cell has a certain job. The CD-4 cell tells the body that something doesn't belong -- if you get a bacteria in your body that doesn't belong there -- the CD-4 cell recognizes that it doesn't belong, and tells the other immune cells -- so it can be dealt with accordingly.

When HIV attacks the CD-4 cells, the cells realize that the virus doesn't belong -- but, can't do anything about it. The virus attaches to the surfact of the CD-4 cells and basically pukes into the cell. Because of the information that the HIV puts into the CD-4 cell, the CD-4 cell doesn't create more CD-4 cells -- instead, it creates HIV cells . . . basically -- the virus hijacks the immune system -- and turns the body into an HIV factory.

Some people are naturally immune to the HIV virus -- that doesn't mean they can't spread it. The virus may remain present in these people's blood -- but, it doesn't harm them. The way this works is that in order for the virus to hijack the CD-4 cell, it has to attack to a certain protein on the cell surface. Some people don't have this protein -- so the virus can't attach . . . and because of that -- it can't reproduce.

Diagnisis with an HIV infection demands treatment with medications from the various classes (Protease inhibitors, nukes, non-nukes, fusion inhibitors . . . ) to prevent development of AIDS -- and, if AIDS develops -- to prevent the progression of the disease.

Because HIV lowers the body's ability to recognize bad germs, the body is less able to fight off infection. These infections that happen because the immune system cannot respond are called opportunistic infections (cytomegalovirus, cryptosporidiosis, pcp). These diseases result in death.

The medical science behind HIV clearly indicates that without treatment, it will develop into AIDS -- the more of the virus that there is present in the body, the lower the CD-4 count will be. The lower the CD-4 count is, the greater the risk is of bacterial pneumonia, wasting disease, and other issues.

People without HIV medications CAN live -- but, not with a good quality of life, and not for a very long time period. I suggest strongly that you do some research on the virus, the syndrome, and a movie called "Silverlake Life" if you watch this movie, and still believe that people with the HIV virus live well, forever . . . then you're just crazy.

HIV is caused by a virus. It infects and destroys T-lymphocytes which are important to maintain immunity to bacteria and viruses. When the T-lymphocyte count gets low enough the HIV infected person is susceptible to infections that normally healthy people cannot get - like Pneumocystis pneumona or Kaposi's sarcoma. When the HIV+ person gets one of these infections they are then considered to have AIDS. The amount of time after infection with the virus to the person getting an infection that qualifies them as "full-blown" AIDS can take months or years. Because of the variation among different individuals on disease progression and the side effects of medications that are proven to decrease viral load, some individuals choose to not take their medication. There are patients with cancer that die because of complications from the treatment and not necessarily the disease. The treatment has to be harsh to destroy the cancer or in the case of HIV, the virus. The life expectancy of an HIV+ person varies but as yet there is no cure. Scientific data support the presence and effects of this virus. Anyone who claims the nonexistence of this virus or claims it to be a Hoax is themselves a charlatan or extremely misinformed individual. You have obviously not seen an AIDS patient or the devistation to that these infections can cause. There is no money to be made in promoting such a hoax. The AIDS epidemic has cost millions of dollars. Everyday the way people work in the medical field is forever altered because of AIDS. The millions spent on gloves, gowns, eye protection, disinfection alone is enourmous. This is money that I am sure that governments of the world would much rather have had to spend on other things.
As someone in the medical field that has seen the transition of what procedures were like before HIV to present practice, it is apparent why health care costs are so expensive now. As someone that has seen HIV positive patients and the devastation to these patients and their families, it is no joke. With thousands of doctors and hospitals treating these patients it is not possible to create a Hoax as elaborate as what you have heard. Please do not believe these people that promote such rediculous ideas. You would be better served to promote safe sex and early testing for yourself and to those that you care about.

That is why it is called a rumor

HIV and AIDS are very much real diseases. The AIDS part kills off your immune system, and then you die from other diseases, like the common cold, or athlete's foot, that you could usually fight off.

The AIDS disease is a virus, and drugs cannot kill viruses, so there's no cure. The medicine just works to make you resist the effects of the aids virus a little better, and frankly, the medicine is pretty lousy at that too, especially for the price it's worth. Some folks at the WHO came up with a vitamin coctail that works almost as well and costs like ten cents a day.

It is possible that the people who take the medicine run out of money very quickly, and end up starving to death, or stressing to death, and therefore don't live as long as others who choose some cheaper, but not so effective treatment.

There are also a very few people (About 0.02% of Americans) who are naturally not affected by AIDS. They can have HIV all their life and never get any symptoms of AIDS.. but they can still transmit the disease to others.

There is no Vaccine for AIDS. A vaccine is something that doesn't do much damage to you, but which your body thinks is a disease. If there were a vaccine for aids, babies would be vaccinated against AIDS, and their bodies would know what AIDS is like, and could fight it off. If there was such a vaccine, we would have put an end to aids already.

Most vaccines are dead diseases, but some are mutated, weakened versions of diseases. Each vaccine is for a specific disease. When you give someone a vaccine, the body thinks it has become infected by a disease, and the immune system comes up with a way to fight that disease off. Then when the real disease comes, the immune system fights it off easier. Someone with AIDS doesn't have enough of an immune system for any vaccines to do any good, and if they get a weakened version of a living disease, they could die from that... so people with AIDS should not be given any kind of vaccines... but those would be vaccines for other diseases, like smallpox, rubella, or Anthrax vaccines.

It is not made up.I have seen several people die from it.Ryan White,Arthur Ashe,etc.

AIDS definitely exists. It's a cruel joke to even think for a moment that its existence is a rumor. Yes, it's possible that the clinical trials could've failed. But, I think it's too premature to talk of it. Also, I don't know how the vaccine is going to be 'tested' on the volunteers.
