Question

this could be a solution to hiv

no its a fact these people are immune to hiv very few lucky ones

maybe their immune system mutated or workin diffrent than other people

Answer 1

Virtually everyone in the world is the descendant of a survivor of the plague, so by your theory most of the world should have a natural immunity to HIV- which of course they don't. Even if somebody had recently had plague, they still wouldn't have the slightest immunity to HIV because they are caused by two different viruses. You only form antibodies against diseases you have actually had or been immunized against. Antibodies are not inheritable, you have to form your own beginning shortly after your birth. In the case of the plague, your survival odds were affected by which form the plague took after infecting you. If it took the bubonic form, where you broke out in huge blisters, you had a slight chance. If it took the more virulent black form, you died usually within 24-48 hours of infection. Some people who caught the bubonic form actually did survive, and there were pockets of people who did not get exposed at all. There were also a few lucky ones who just didn't get it at all, for reasons nobody really is clear on. But all of us are descendants of the roughly 1/3 of the world's population that was left afterwards. There is also no evidence to suggest that we are any more immune to it than our ancestors were. We simply eliminated the vectors through more sanitary living conditions, which means we don't live with rats and fleas, we take baths, and we have much better medical care. There is a vaccine against the plague, but how effective it is would be anyones guess. Plague still occurs in some places, and where it does it still kills a great amount of the time. So your theory is faulty. Sorry, viruses don't work that way, and neither does the human immune system.

Answer 2

Not all descendants of those that survived the plague have an immunity to HIV. It's a genetic mutation that gives them immunity.

There are two types of immunity: One is where the person is completely immune to HIV. He can have HIV injected into him, and he'll still test negative for HIV. And then there's the 2nd type, people who will test positive for HIV, but they don't develop AIDS nor will they have any of the symptoms of HIV or AIDS.

For those that don't believe this, it's true. There was a documentary on this. Here's a link:

Answer 4

The plague, or more accurately, the different kinds of plague in the Middle Ages have nothing to do with HIV.

Answer 5

There are people that have tested positive for HIV and reverted to neg. There are people who have had partners get the disease and having been exposed to it they do not become sick yet have antibodies. I'm out of date on this, but will get caught up. I had several AIDS patients.

Answer 6

okay i think u have some of ur stories crossed, some people are immuned to HIV, but i don't think its the people that descended from the plague, most of the people that are immuned are of arab, or chinese desecent.

Answer 7

well that would certainly be a lot of people immune! i wonder how that would make sense because the plague is an entirely different disease, and that's not how diseases work, hmmm..

Answer 8

No...where'd you get that silly idea ??? the plague was started by rats and can be cured now...they KNOW what it is...HIV cannot be cured, even though they know what it is...(it can be controlled with meds of the right kind....)

Answer 9

no, they are 2 completely different diseases

Answer 10

Where in the world did you hear THAT!!!!
