Someone....Says

Another point...You say

As well, pharmaceutical companies actively promote their anti-virals as having a therapeutic effect agains HIV. Check out the online adverts for sustiva and you will see that it states the drug has proven effective at keeping viral loads undetectable in combination therapy for up to 54 months. That's why they developed them."

The same online advert for Sustiva also says this.... probably has in many of the Protease Inhibitor/Anti-HIV drugs.

"SUSTIVA does not cure HIV or help prevent passing HIV to others."
INVIRASE is not a cure for HIV infection or AIDS. INVIRASE does not prevent the transmission of HIV.
LEXIVA treats HIV infection in adults. It should always be used in combination with other HIV medicines. These medicines do not cure HIV infection/AIDS or prevent passing HIV to others.


What does that suggest to you? But we do know one thing about protease inhibitors ( like Sustiva)..there are toxic. So you are taking a toxic drug that won't stop HIV, whats going to be the result?

I think I understand alittle bit of what it suggest to others. Using some of these HIV test ( that use P.C.R to detect HIV) is almost meaningless in determining how much actual live virus is in the body, especially when theres little of the virus left anyway.

You Say...

"The other aspect of your response that needs to be addressed is how HIV eventually leads to AIDS. It is true that in end stage AIDS, viral load tests often come back with an incredibly low number, sometimes even undetectable. This is because that the HIV virus itself is not what kills a person. HIV, being a retrovirus, cannot casually infect cells. For the HIV virus to replicate itself it has to reverse transcribe at least one of it's two 80 000 nucleotide RNA sequences into DNA and insert itself into the host cell's nuclear DNA (unlike the majority of common viruses). Since it does this most effectively in the very cells that are designed to fight it, there is no way for your body to ever fully get rid of it. Unlike illnesses like the common cold or the flu, which your body has some degree of familiarity with, HIV when presented to the immune system is completely alien. There is a period of between 2-4 weeks where the virus is able to replicate completely unchecked or hindered by any anti-body production process. The first place it attacks is your intestines, completely clearing them of all white blood cell reserves (which is likely related to why people with HIV become deficient in many essential vitamins and pro-biotics necessary for immune function) then it moves to the rest of your body. The virus is able to infect any cell that carries a CD4 protein receptor on it's membrane, this includes lymphatic tissue and certain types of nerve cells, where HIV can set up long term inactive viral reservoirs untouchable by any current HAART therapy or the immune system. By the time your body gets the message that something is wrong, it's already so engrained in your system that there is no way to ever remove it. Since I happen to know exactly when, where and how I was infected, I also know that the illness I came down with exactly 4 weeks to the day later was HIV infection syndrome (aka seroconversion illness, acute infection syndrome etc.). Some people hardly notice it, some people don't get it. Some people, like me, drop 20 pounds in two weeks and become completely covered in thousands of subcutaneous bruises (I lit up like a christmas tree)...etc."

I'd like to get more information about your etiology of how HIV causes AIDS. I dont know much about it myself..suppose I some other people about it to see what they say? Stay tuned to find out more!
