HIV causes Aids? is this true??

Question

I`m just wondering after reading an article, and this questions pops up in my mind, there is no specific and scientist doctors can even tell, where the h**l HIV came from, HIV causes Aids is just a theory, there are lots of people in africa who survived HIV from a herb so called "CANCER BUSH" which cures the cancer as well as the HIV, but WHO,UN and US dont want to approve this why? because instead of helping to cure that deases they want to make billions of money from it, there is a person who`s infected with aids but no one can trace HIV?

dont give me stupid reactions about this, just give me your opinion about it,

Answer 1

Just because someone cannot find the origins of the HIV virus does not mean that it doesn't cause AIDS. The term AIDS was used before the association with the HIV virus was made. People were coming down with AIDS and no one knew why. They finally traced it to the HIV virus. Some people have been found to carry the virus without getting AIDS. There are some people who are immune. Scientists theorize that HIV/AIDS has existed before and that some populations have immunity. Some people can carriers of a virus (any virus) and it does not have an affect on them.  

Answer 2

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a lentivirus (a member of the retrovirus family) that can lead to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), a condition in humans in which the immune system begins to fail, leading to life-threatening opportunistic infections. Previous names for the virus include human T-lymphotropic virus-III (HTLV-III), lymphadenopathy-associated virus (LAV), and AIDS-associated retrovirus (ARV).

Infection with HIV occurs by the transfer of blood, s***n, vaginal fluid, pre-ejaculate, or breast milk. Within these bodily fluids, HIV is present as both free virus particles and virus within infected immune cells. The four major routes of transmission are unprotected sexual intercourse, contaminated needles, breast milk, and transmission from an infected mother to her baby at birth. Screening of blood products for HIV has largely eliminated transmission through blood transfusions or infected blood products in the developed world.

Answer 3

AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. It is an umbrella term for a group of infections, illnesses and cancers that affect people with a critically low white blood cell count (specifically CD4+ T-Cells). It was first identified in the western world in california in the early 80s i believe, in a certain population of homosexuals (hence its first title GRID=g*y-Related Immune Deficiency). Quickly it became apparent that heterosexuals were getting it also, therefore there had to be a transmissible entity causing this syndrome. Eventually a virus, HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), was discovered that is sexually transmissible and specifically target human CD4+ T-Cells, using them to replicate and then killing them. Co-incidence?

There are many immune deficiency conditions, not all are caused by HIV. AIDS specifically is. A person with AIDS is HIV positive. If they are not HIV positive they do not have AIDS, perhaps they have one of the other immune deficiency conditions which are usually genetic. There are documented cases of people immune to HIV infection because of a rare mutation to their T-Cells. The illnesses that characterize AIDS occur when the T-Cell count is low and the HIV count in the blood is high.

A theory is a story put together that best fits the evidence so far found. HIV causing AIDS is not a theory, it is a fact, scientifically verified by thousands of researchers in the last 25 years.

The origins of HIV are in Africa, a virus has been identified in some monkeys that is very similar in genetic make up to HIV, and the theory is that a monkey cross-infected a human with the virus which then mutated. Very possible, but this cannot be verified unfortunately.

Cancer Bush is not a cure for AIDS or cancer, it has been used for symptom relief for both by local doctors in Africa. However trials carried out by doctors have been uncertain as to its actual health benefits. Its not being ignored by the medical establishment as you suggest, but it is impossible (not to mention irresponsible and dangerous, look at thalidomide) to bring a new therapy into the market without adequate testing, trials and understanding.

Do you believe everything you see on YouTube? Get an education.

Add: Yes they are different. HIV is a virus. AIDS is a syndrome caused by that virus. There is no cure for HIV that has been documented, verified, tested and accepted by the medical community (which does not have the same profit motives as the pharmaceutical industry no matter what you believe). A search on PubMed, NEJM, or even freaking wikipedia will give you links to hundreds of research papers that verify the nature of HIV/AIDS, that is that HIV CAUSES AIDS. You are entitled to your own opinion. You are not entitled to your own facts. YouTube and witch doctors are not reliable sources to base scientific arguments on, and never will be.

Robert Gallo and Luc Montagnier are the scientists who discovered the human immunodeficiency virus and verified its link to AIDS.

Answer 4

There is currently no cure for HIV, the virus that can lead to AIDS. There are treatments that can help people with HIV live longer, healthier. HIV destroys the immune system by destroying the cells that our bodies use to fight infections.  Once that cell count drops to 200 or below, diagnosis changes from HIV to AIDS.  When that happens, a person becomes vulnerable to all other infections, such as flu and pneumonia.  Any of these infections can be deadly to someone with a damaged immune system.  

*** AIDS is the immune deficiency created when HIV kills the cells that help us fight infections.  Treatment can help increase the amount of time between diagnosis of HIV and diagnosis of AIDS

Answer 5

Yes, there are many theories on where AIDS came from. I don't think anyone really knows.

HIV does cause AIDS. They are different classifications of the same disease. AIDS is the more severe form. Like how you can have stage 1 and 2 cancers. Same disease, different severity.

AIDS and cancer cost the government billions, they don't make money off it. They have increased hospital time, blood transfusions, medications etc that are all subsidized. Plus there is millions of people in research/the health industry. It would be very hard to keep them all quiet. Plus there are other countries in the world other than America. There is research going on in all of them. I have never heard of every country in the world making the unanimous decision on anything, let alone to cover up a cure to the most devastating disease on the planet.  

Every profession has its quacks. Dr Aitkins was a cardiologist. And if you want an opinion on the weather, you ask a meteorologist. You don't ask a physicist just because its kind of the same thing. Same as if you want an opinion on a virus, you don't ask a chemist or a biologist. And those quotes are really old.

So go to Africa, get the bush, and cure the world. You'll win a nobel prize.

Answer 6

The most likely explanation that is was passed from monkey's to humans by a simple mutation of a non-lethal virus present in certain monkey species. That i was genetically engineered by the Vatican or the Americans is less likely but it play's into thee don't f** around rule which in other cultures is not as common as the religious maniacs would like to have it.  

Answer 7

I would suggest that you read this thoroughly before calling anyone's reaction stupid.

As far as your "cure" in Africa, look to see where HIV actually originated, but the most people are affected and dying from it right now.

If there is such a cure there, why don't they know about it or use it?

They also know, if you do some reading here or anywhere else where it came from, apes!
