I’m an MD. You are so totally confused about HIV I do not know where to start. I know the gay population and drug addict advocates used the issue to advance their political agendas, but you need to go to the nearest library and pick up any textbook on infectious disease and just read a little.
To clear up a couple of huge misunderstandings:
Yes, the mortality for Aids has gone down in developed countries, but it is because of drugs that were designed to work specifically against the HIV virus and how it works. I have seen many patients follow their viral titers (concentration of virus in blood), when the titers go up, disease flares up. There are other forms of acquired immune deficiency, though rare. There are even congenital forms of inmune deficiency. We know this.
Yes, there are asymptomatic carriers of HIV, as there are for every other pathogen known to man. Even in the worst plagues there are asymptomatic carriers.
Could all the money used to ferret out this info have been spent on Breast or prostate cancer? Yes, but the political will was on AIDS. That’s the way the system works. But it does not negate the fact that HIV is the major (number of cases) cause of AIDS. Other causes are rare.
