but those companies are in "business" and that business is providing a solution to peoples problems for a price. you dont do hard labor and researchf or free do you? neither do they.

Id like them first to show anyone on earth a direct link between HIV and AIDS. Never been done
Id also like them to show the world a direct link between AIDS and sex. Never been done.
Id be more inclined to believe AZT is a cause of AIDS over HIV.
Why are people with illnesses such as TB not treated for those diseases, because they have HIV?
Lin between HIV and AIDS? I think not
Very well worth discussion....
They are working for me

The video links do not work. I am interested in checking them out.

Lets have a discussion indeed... Unfortunately, the comments you make above are outright false!
Before I respond to your comments, I have to give a little background information to make understanding my response simpler. First, prior to 1986 HIV was officially called human T-lymphotropic virus type III/lymphadenopathy-associated virus (HTLV-III/LAV). From 1986 to 1990 it was officially recognized as HIV (reflecting a single genotype). Since 1991, the name was further modified to HIV-1 and HIV-2 to reflect the different genotypes ('species') that were identified in 1986 with the African strain (HIV-2). AIDS is defined based on the presence of multiple infections, neolasms (uncharacteristic growth of cells, like cancer), and other life-threatening issues as a result of a mutilated immune system.
1.) There are MULTIPLE studies that explain the relationship between HIV and AIDS. In the interest of space and time I have referenced two from the early days.
Epidemiological evidence that HTLV-III is the AIDS agent. European Journal of Epidemiology 1985 Sep;1(3):155-9
Isolation of infectious human T-cell leukemia/lymphotropic virus type-III (HTLV-III) from patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) or AIDS-related complex (ARC) and from health carriers: a study of risk groups and tissue samples. Proc Natl Acad Sciences, USA 1985 Aug; 82(16):5530-4
The first study (again one of many) shows the link between the HTLV-III (HIV) virus and AIDS.
2.) Using the second study I referenced above, it confirmed which bodily tissues the HIV virus was isolated in. Guess what, semen was one of them. This led researchers down the path of determining routes of transmission. You guessed it, sex was a route. I can provide additional scientific journals upon request to support this.
3.) There is no doubt that AZT has some nasty side-effects (liver effects, effects on fat distribution, etc) including death, but to say it causes AIDS over HIV? First, to be placed on AZT you have to be diagnosed as having HIV - which we already know can lead to AIDS. To prove AZT is a cause of AIDS you would have to put healthy people on AZT and see if they develop AIDS.
4.) TB in and of itself presents another big problem. People with HIV that have TB ARE treated - I have personally been involved in their treatment. If you are referring to one of the quotes in your link that mentioned the disparity in funding for people with TB and malaria in Africa, that is a different issue.
In regard to the link you provided, most of the quotes they provided misstate the obvious. Some say that HIV may be one cause of AIDS, but not the whole cause. This is absurd because it is already known that once someone is infected other things (ie - infection) can happen to the person to further compromise their immune system.
Look further to additional discussion...
It is sad to come to the realization that the real "Virus" is something quite different than what we are taught.

wow! TYVM all seeing eye!
i just watched the entire first video, and wow, astonishing
thats why i LOVE ATS
i can come here, and have all my old ideas thrown away and shown to be nothing more than deceptions from the powers that be.
the pattern forming is a bit disheartening, because its like i can just pick anything the govt said and it turns out to be a lie
anyways, great video man, thanks for sharing it with me

You did not watch the two videos that were posted. Both are about 200 minutes long. The first one on page one of this thread has the worlds best virus expert providing a lot of good information that any so called student or researcher in the field would do well to listen to before making a preemptive stike. Watch it first, then make an intelligent reply to it and we will listen.
[edit on 28-12-2008 by John Matrix]
I made the 'intelligent' reply to Georgehairybush1's comments with references to scientific journals and I addressed each one of his comments. Because I responded to a statement rather than launch the initial comment that generated the response, how can that be pre-emptive? Secondly, I already provided references to two scientific references to refute Georgehairybush1's statements. Did you read them? You asked me to watch the videos! Finally, to call Dr. Duesberg 'the worlds best virus expert' is stretching it. I am not saying that because I disagree with his viewpoints but because there are other more world renowned viral experts (ie - Dr. Jeffrey Cohen, Dr. Kuan-Teh Jeang) at the NIH for example.
Your comments aside, I went ahead and watched both of the videos. It would take me 20 pages to comment on much of what was posted there so I will just address two comments. Dr. Duesberg's essential argument is that 1.) the current hypothesis states that HIV does not cause disease immediately after infection like other viruses and instead has the unique property of causing disease (AIDS) years later; and 2.) AIDS is caused by recreational drug use and malnutrition.
1.) HIV does cause sickness after initial infection as evidenced by flu-like symptoms, fever, sore throat, diarrhea, etc. Basically, like your common flu-bug (influenza). Because this does not kill you it does not mean it is not eliciting its untoward effects. The second point is that a decrease in CD4 (helper T-cells) is the net effect of HIV infection (there is debate as to whether HIV does this solely by lysing the T-cell, or whether once exposed to HIV, T-cells lose their ability to launch an effective immune response, or T-cells that were exposed to HIV are 'attacked' by other T-cells due to HIV protein fragments that remain on the initially exposed T-cell). The time to damage the immune response is the reason for the time delay before the development of other aspects of the syndrome.
2.) The argument is that recreational drugs can cause AIDS. This would mean each of these drugs would probably have to cause neutropenia (low white blood cell count). '___' - rarely (99% of the population is not malnourished? He cannot, therefore, he has to make the claim that >99% incidences of AIDS are accounted for by recreational drug use in the US/Europe. Can you imagine how many people actually have or will be getting AIDS based on this logic? How can all the anti-HIV drugs cause AIDS when they have a different mechanism of action? The video is obviously dated (around 1996) because it does not mention any anti-HIV drug other than AZT as causing AIDS. There are approximately 30 different agents currently on the market. Also, if these HIV drugs cause AIDS then they all should have the side-effect of neutropenia (low white blood cell count) with a very high incidence...[cont'd]
