HIv, FYI, is a retrovirus. Does anyone understand what class of virus that is? Retrovirus got their name by what's called reverse transcriptaese. That is, they insert themselves into cells by RNA first, unlike real cytotoxic virus (HVV, HPV, HSV) that insert DNA first. That is why HIv cannot kill the cell it infects and only infects 1 in 500 to 1000 T-cells, hardly enough to compromise the immune system. Retrovirus are called passenger virus. HIv is passed parenatally, then destroyed by immune response. Thousands of passenger virus infect the body and are passed daily. All the tests for HIv are flawed and cannot detect the virus itself. They carry disclaimers saying so. And many diseases can cross react with the proteins in the Elisa type tests. Up to 70% false positives. The focus is to get people on the chemo HAART regimens which are immune destroying drugs. Admited by the first manufactureres of AZT. AZT dirivative drugs were designed for cancer tumors in the 60's and were not approved by FDA then due to high toxicity. AZT destroys bone marrow and DNA chains.
Read Duesberg unbiased please. "Inventing the AIDS Virus" He mapped the DNA/RNA of retrovirus. All molecular cell biologists refer to him as the expert on retrovirus.
