AIDS or Aquired Immune Deficiency Syndrom. A syndrom is a group of observable events recorded over a given time span
Syndroms are not cause specific by nature and are defined by recurring symptoms
AIDS symptoms are common cancers and pnemonias observed in younger patients, that are commonly found in older people
The syndrom is the age of the afflicted people
HIV - human immunio virus is found in about 80% of the population, however only a small percentage of the population can create the anti bodies to
attack HIV
All of the testing for HIV actually tests for the anti bodies of HIV or retro virus
Detection of anti bodies is generally considered a sign of a healthy immune
system, except for the case of HIV anti bodies which has been "promoted" as a sign of a failing immune system and the cause of AIDS
The AIDS crisis is a billion dollar marketing scheme
Yes people die from these cancers everyday, but the clever packaging of cancer and pnemonia symptoms into one convenient catagory called AIDS with HIV
as the definitive cause was an all out advertizing campaign
There are many people with HIV who have never experienced any AIDS symptoms(Magic Johnson). There are also many people who have died from AIDS related
cancers who never tested positive for HIV(most Africans)
Most of this information was brought to the attention of the medical community in the late 1980s by
Peter Duesenberg who was the doctor who had originally isolated HIV as a possible cause of
AIDS, but he later vehemently withdrew his HIV hypothesis as incorrect.
I would also recommend the work of
Dr Len Horowitz on AIDS and other epidemics for a non main stream view of
these topics
