What is the actual size of aids?

Question

how big is it

Answer 1

"Electron microscopy reveals the HIV virus to be about O.1 microns in size (a micron is a millionth of a metre). It is 60 times smaller than a syphilis bacterium, and 450 times smaller than a single human sperm."

Answer 2

(From Robert Gallo - the man who started the myth testifying at the Andre Parenzee trial in Australia).

In 1983 and ‘84 you were saying these [electron micrographs] show a typical type C particle and in 1998 you say the same pictures do not show a typical type C particle but a virus particle belonging to a totally different family of retrovirus

Gallo
You are right. The subclassification of retroviruses into different families is subtle and, ultimately, of no consequence, either to the science or to the human health. It is a subtlety. I, no doubt, was overwhelmingly influenced by my prior influence with HTLV1 and HTLV2.

Gallo
(page 1306)
Frankly speaking, I never relied on electron microscopy. I don’t think electron microscopy does much, except for the person who’s a structural biologist and wants to look at real structure. No-one uses electron microscopy [in] virology any more – nobody. It is as rare as hen’s teeth.

Dr. Etienne de Harven
if Electron Microscopy had been properly used, at Pasteur in 1983, to verify whether their sucrose gradient 1.16 density bands contained mostly retroviral particles or mostly cell debris, AIDS research would not have been put on the wrong track, billions of research dollars would have been more properly directed, and perhaps prevention and cure of AIDS efficiently reached.

Answer 3

Aids is a virus. The cells of the virus are microscopic; you can't see them with the naked eye.
