    Just because you possess the antibody to HIV does not mean that you have the disease. A positive HIV test just means that you have been exposed to the virus that causes AIDS. Once exposed, the virus can lay dormant in your system for years. You can pass it to others, but you may or may not ever develope the actual disease itself.

    Medicine has advanced for HIV treatment since the early 90s. Or perhaps he is one of those people lucky enough to not require medication for his HIV.

    But, like anyone else with HIV, I'm sure that proper nutrition, exercise, and a healthy outlook improves his chances a great deal.

    There are people who are HIV+ that have been alive without any medication since 1985 and before. The disease isn't necessarily a death sentence for everyone. It all depends on an individual person's bodily response to the virus.

    AIDS Fraud Exposed: HIV Science Papers from 1984 were Falsified
    By Mike Adams, January 5, 2009 | Key concepts: AIDS, HIV and Medical myths

    Read Comments | Post Comments

    Natural health authors like Dr. Gary Null have been talking about the AIDS fraud for decades. What's the fraud? The false believe that AIDS is caused by the HIV virus. As it turns out, the entire basis of that belief is pure scientific fraud.

    The original papers upon which that now-common medical myth was based were, in fact, partly fabricated by Dr. Robert Gallo. The electron microscope photos used by Gallo to "prove" HIV causes AIDS didn't even contain viruses at all! Even so, his papers were published in 1984 in the journal Science, and from that point forward, it was accepted as "scientific fact" that HIV causes AIDS.

    This was a convenient medical myth, since it placed the drug companies in the position of manufacturing and selling anti-viral medications to AIDS patients, promising them hope while, in reality, offering them nothing but a lifetime of continued immune system suppression and a cocktail of expensive, toxic pharmaceuticals.

    On December 1, 2008, a group of 37 scientists sent a letter to Science, requesting that the journal retract its 1984 publication of Gallo's papers. This, of course, would cause huge upheavals throughout the conventional AIDS pill-pusher communities (Big Pharma, conventional doctors, etc.) because Gallo's papers have been quoted by literally thousands of other scientific papers published in the last 25 years. If Gallo's work is retracted, it would mean that every paper published since then might deserve additional scrutiny, too, and pretty soon the whole AIDS house of cards (and lies) comes tumbling down.

    The entire (high-profit) AIDS industry, in other words, depends on the continued belief in the HIV / AIDS lie for its own survival. This is similar to the way in which the breast cancer industry depends on the mammography lie to stay in business, too. Behind every disease-based medical industry, there's a secret lie that keeps it in business.

    So don't expect Science to act with much motivation on this issue. Medical journals, after all, aren't really about science: They're about promotion! And promoting AIDS drugs depends entirely on pushing the medical myth that AIDS is caused by HIV.

    If there's one thing that conventional medical research can't stand, it's scrutiny. How dare we question AIDS, or vaccines or flu shots? Because every time there's any serious scientific inquiry into the subject, the fraud is readily exposed. For example, as mentioned on the website RethinkingAids.org:

    In the early 1990s, several highly critical reports on the research underlying Gallo's papers were produced as a result of governmental inquiries working under the supervision of scientists nominated by the National Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Medicine. The Office of Research Integrity (ORI) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services concluded that the lead paper of the four was "fraught with false and erroneous statements" and that the “ORI believes that the careless and unacceptable keeping of research records . . . reflects irresponsible laboratory management that has permanently impaired the ability to retrace the important steps taken." Further, a Congressional Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations produced a staff report on the papers, containing scathing criticisms of their integrity.

    From Rethinkingaids.com: The investigative conclusion prompting the letter to Science was made by journalist Janine Roberts, author of Fear of the Invisible, a book that examines the origin of several disease theories. "I was shocked when I read the original draft of the key scientific paper now widely cited as proving HIV causes AIDS," says

    Some people can have HIV can never shown any syptoms from the disease. Those type of people can live on for years and never felt sick once. They are called non-progressors.

    my mother has been living with AIDS for over 16 years now. and until recently she has had a pretty good quality of life. it depends on each individual, their lifestyle, and how each person reacts to the medication. everyone is different.
