There is a lot yet we don't know about HIV and AIDS, but there is clearly a connection between the two. Those not on drug therapy are dying much sooner than those that are not. The results are in the blood - more immune response from those on the medications.

Do you have any statistics or studies to back up these claims?

Does he really need to? The fact that HIV causes AIDS, and that anti-viral drugs are effective in treating it is common knowledge, and virtually every reputable scientist agrees. Therefore, the burden of proof falls on whoever challenges this idea. The question should be "What reputable statistics and studies back up the idea that HIV doesnt cause AIDS?" Good luck in finding one.

If HIV does not bring about AIDS, and drugs like AZT are responsible, then I have a few questions:
- What explains the death of those early on that did not receive the benefit of the drugs
When drug trials for AIDS were first begining and there was a placebo and a real drug, what caused the turn around for those on the real drug and not for those on the placebo? Many trials ended when it was found that those on the real drug knew it, and were splitting their medications with those on the placebo. It became easy to figure out who was on what, and even the participants saw the effect the drugs had. Trials ended because of the ethical implications of having one group certain to die without therapy and the complications of participants themselves sharing drugs.
What explains the death rate of the people with HIV and eventually full blown AIDS in Africa where drug therapy is often not available?
What explains the extremely virulent HIV-O present in Saharan Africa that is not able to be tested for and causes rapid death?
