HIV=AIDS is a hoax? That people actually don't die of AIDS but of the toxins put into them by the drugs they take? That people die of AIDS having no HIV antibodies in their bodies? Is that true? Does anybody know?

No, i think HIV AIDS is real and is a disease which resulted because of pervertness in this day and age. It is sexually transmitted.

I'm not sure why people keep promoting this stupid rumor, but it's very wrong, and very dangerous.
HIV causes AIDS. Just like the influenza virus causes the flu, and the rabies virus causes rabies.
HIV was around long before the drugs to treat it were developed. The drugs do indeed have dreadful side-effects, but most people consider the side-effects better than certain death.
HIV destroys the immune system, which is one of the reasons that antibody production slows down late in the disease. We do develop antibodies to the virus, which is what keeps the person infected with HIV alive for several years without treatment. The antibodies we make can destroy the virus, but never completely rid the body of it--the virus changes its shape very rapidly in response to antibodies, and it is also believed to be able to hide out in places that the antibodies can't reach, like in nervous tissue. It's a battle that, so far, the virus is destined to win.

HIV/AIDS are definitely not hoaxes. Otherwise people with HIV or AIDS who couldn't afford drugs would be fine, and that's obviously not the case.
And you can't have HIV antibodies because the virus attacks your immune system and interferes with the cells that recognize threats like viruses and tell the body to produce antibodies.

HIV is very real but it is not an STD. Hiv/AIDS is more common in I.V drug users than homsexuals. Many think AIDS is a gay sex disease. It has nothing to do with being gay. AIDS is real and attacks the immune system. It can be suppressed but not stopped. HIV eventually becomes AIDS.

No, it is not a hoax. People die of comlications due to the Aids virus. The virus doesn't kill people but compromises the immune system so that even a normally non-lethal virus can kill you.

HIV is a virus that weakens the immune system.
You can die from infections that your body would normally fight off.
When you get a bad infection like CMV, or Candida then that means that you have a seriously damaged immune system. You might also get Kaposi's sarcoma, a type of skin cancer.
So basically, you die from immune system failure. Not the HIV virus directly.

No it is not true. It is a hypothesis spouted by nutters who know very little about it but get support from some African nations who don't want to spend money combatting their most serious health risk. People died of AIDS before any chemical treatments were available. It is the drugs that keep them alive.

There is no truth to this at all. Anyone 45 and older knew people - lots of people - who died in the early days of the epidemic when there were no drug cocktails to halt its progress. My uncle and one of my cousins have been alive now for 15 years with the virus. Without the drugs, their immune systems would have collapsed long ago. Like many other people.
