Does HIV exist, according to doctors? Is it true that HIV doesn't actually exist?

HIV does not exist - the global deception of the whole world is developing more and more every day, foreshadowing an imminent catastrophe. A huge scam in the form of the fight against AIDS is thriving in every country on the planet.

There is a widespread myth about HIV - about its deadly danger, incurability and the need to use highly active antiretroviral drugs, which supposedly reduce the viral load in the body of an infected person.

We invite you to find out whether there really is an infection that cannot be detected and cured? What myths about HIV infection still need to be dispelled, and what do the myths about AIDS hide behind them?

Have you ever thought that AIDS doesn't exist? Why do people all over the world unconditionally believe what they are told in the media without asking for proof? Why do dozens and hundreds of scientists stubbornly insist that there is no HIV and AIDS?

Only in last years With the development of communications, people began to openly say that the human immunodeficiency virus is a deception from the outside:

• state power,
• pharmaceutical companies,
• medical complex.

Scientists, pondering the problem of whether AIDS exists, continue to monitor the dynamics of the development of the infection to this day. They draw people's attention to the fact that the virus cannot be cultivated in ordinary environments and the basic laws of epidemiological processes do not apply to it.

Agree, all the measures taken to prevent and reduce the level of HIV-positive people have not changed the state of the epidemic in the world for several decades.

Is this not yet another proof that the immunodeficiency virus does not really exist?

There is no doubt about the discovery of infection... or AIDS

AIDS - myth or reality? In 1984, the US government announced to the world the discovery of a deadly infection - the human immunodeficiency virus. However, the patent acquired by HIV discoverer Dr. Roberto Gallo did not provide evidence that the infection destroys cells of the immune system.

Well-known scientists, including Professor Peter Duesberg from the University of California and German virologist Stefan Lanka, have refuted articles published in support of the HIV theory. They are convinced that Roberto Gallo was unable to show the nature of the virus based on modern and scientific standards of virology.

The controversy that began with the “discovery” of HIV has not subsided to this day. Refuting Gallo's research, Dr. Bade Graves said that the manufacturers of an experimental vaccine developed against hepatitis B and smallpox, supplied to Africa and American homosexuals, added the human immunodeficiency virus to the composition, thereby causing an outbreak of infections.

Who was first

Several authors argued simultaneously about what to name the virus. Scientists Gallo and Montagnier managed to win victories. Interestingly, even US President Ronald Reagan took part in the debate that flared up on this issue.

In 1994, WHO introduced a single name for the infection - human immunodeficiency virus. At the same time, HIV-1 (considered dangerous) and HIV-2 (considered to be rare) were diagnosed.

Despite the fact that the infection was discovered several decades ago, the only means of protection is prevention and highly active antiretroviral therapy, which involves the simultaneous use of 3-4 powerful drugs.

Non-existent cases

Every officially registered HIV diagnosis is recorded in the World Health Organization (WHO) database. To achieve the "real" number effect, previously reported infections are increased by an ever-increasing factor.

For example, in 1996, the official number of cases of infection in Africa was multiplied by 12, and a few years later this coefficient was already 38. It is not surprising that at such a rate the number of allegedly HIV-infected patients in Africa has increased by 4,000,000 people in recent years.

In 2010, there were 34,000,000 people living with HIV worldwide ( official statistics WHO), however, the organization is silent about the fact that this information is cumulative in nature, i.e. contain information from the early 1980s!

A new global and, at the same time, deadly infection is a tool for distraction from the real problems of the world and an opportunity to receive large funding from the state treasury. Are you sure that the AIDS establishment is not manipulating humanity using a scientifically unproven theory??

HIV tests often show incorrect results

The number of positive results of the HIV ELISA test conducted on the territory of the Russian Federation amounted to 30,000! A terrifying result, isn't it?? But only 66 (only 0.22% of the total!) were subsequently confirmed by another Western Blot test.

False positive results lead to some people becoming depressed and committing suicide, others starting to take powerful drugs and “ruining” their body, and still others, instead of fighting the real problem, fighting a non-existent virus.

We invite you to familiarize yourself with the factors that provoke false positive result HIV antibody test:

• pregnancy,
• flu,
• cold,
• hepatitis,
• herpes,
• rheumatoid arthritis,
• tuberculosis,
• dermatomyositis, etc.

Many scientists are convinced that the HIV diagnosis is a hoax. There is no need to immediately switch to highly active antiretroviral therapy and poison your body; it is better to find and eliminate the true cause of weakened immunity.

You need to donate blood for HIV twice. A confirmatory result will dispel your doubts or, on the contrary, confirm the diagnosis. Modern diagnostic methods do not guarantee the absolute accuracy of the results, so you cannot be 100% sure of them!

You can get AIDS

Speculation around HIV is a huge deception in the field of medicine. The condition of acquired or congenital weakened immunity has been known to doctors for a long time, but only now all the factors leading to it have been united under one term - AIDS.

Everything that is now presented as a deadly epidemic is a simple substitution of concepts! As a result, people become outcasts from society. They, as before, suffer from tuberculosis, cervical cancer, Kaposi's sarcoma, etc., but are sure that they suffer from an incurable virus.

Stop being misled! Everything you hear under the terrible abbreviation “AIDS” has long been studied and curable. As for HAART, treatment with such powerful drugs poses a much greater danger than immunodeficiency itself.

Attention! More than 50,000 deaths are caused by the use of antiretroviral drugs (Retrovir, zidovudine, etc.).

Causes of immunodeficiency:

Social:

• poverty,
• addiction,
• homosexuality, etc.

Environmental:

• radio emissions,
• radiation in nuclear testing areas,
• taking excessive doses of antibiotics, etc.

Yes or no - who is right?

Is HIV a myth or reality? Disputes on this issue have been going on for several decades, and scientists, doctors and virologists from all over the world take part in them. Is it possible that HIV and AIDS are some kind of joke??

If so, then eliminating “inconvenient” people would be easy without using physical impact and arousing suspicion. There would be no need to use biological weapons, because it would be enough for him to be falsely diagnosed with HIV.

Just imagine that you are a person who was diagnosed with the human immunodeficiency virus a minute ago. Not only your body, but also your psyche experiences a powerful shock. The only thing you understand is mortal danger from which there is no way out.

You go home, try to lead your usual lifestyle, but you can no longer completely relax. Over time, your consciousness comes to terms with the idea of ​​inevitable death, and you agree to use dangerous drugs.

Do you think this is all fiction? If the whole theory about HIV and AIDS is true and corresponds to reality, then answer a few questions:

• By whom, when, and during what clinical trials was the decision made to use antiretroviral therapy to reduce viral load?
• They constantly say that condoms are reliable protection against HIV. Who conducted tests on them and when to make sure they were impenetrable?
• Why are official statistics on HIV cases compiled cumulatively? Why does the number of infected people multiply by an increasing factor every year? Doesn't this seem like manipulation of statistics?

Indisputable proof of the existence of a virus is its isolation and photographing using an electron microscope. Then why is there still no treatment for HIV??

There are, have been and will always be diseases that arise and occur against the background of weakened immunity - not a single doctor denies this. However, calling them HIV or AIDS is a huge mistake, which has already caused thousands of deaths.

Let's sum it up

HIV is a medically recognized disease, just like AIDS.

Accordingly, denial of the disease is a personal matter.

But this decision cannot be made without talking with a doctor. Be sure to contact doctors, get a detailed explanation, look at the patients who come to them, communicate with them, join the community of those who are sick and then make a decision whether to deny the disease or get treatment and live in society, continuing to see the prospects for life...

“Does HIV and AIDS really exist?” Today it is one of the most important issues to which you need to know the correct answer. Your knowledge of the answer to this question can save or destroy your life. I won’t talk about photographs of the virus, its isolation, Koch’s 3 postulates, this is difficult to understand for the average person.

How many of you have seen the flu virus? But we all believe that it exists.

I will give several obvious arguments sufficient to make a decision: “ To believe or not to believe in the existence of HIV, AIDS«.

Cuban rockers who infected themselves with HIV as a sign of protest.

The easiest way to determine that HIV causes AIDS is to infect someone with HIV and see if AIDS develops. We cannot do this for ethical reasons, but there are people who voluntarily injected themselves with the blood of an HIV-infected person. For example, in Cuba, in 1988, a group of about 100 people calling themselves “rockers” infected themselves with HIV as a sign of political protest and in order to avoid persecution by the authorities, compulsory military service, and labor conscription. In Cuba, HIV-infected people are placed in air-conditioned sanatoriums and fresh air, where you can wear the clothes you want, get good food, watch TV, talk about any prohibited topics. There was no special ritual or oath for them to infect themselves with HIV in an organized, solemn manner; usually this happened against the backdrop of drinking and taking drugs. To date, most of these rockers have died of AIDS..

Also medical workers, which when performing medical procedures pricked with a needle, used for HIV-infected people, subsequently fell ill with AIDS.

It’s interesting that when you suggest that AIDS dissidents who say that HIV, AIDS does not exist, inject themselves with an infected HIV blood, they immediately disappear somewhere.

Specific treatment for a specific virus

Millions of healthy people had intimate contact with an HIV-positive person and, as a result, became infected; as the HIV infection progressed, the viral load began to increase (as shown by laboratory tests) and the number of CD4 lymphocytes began to decrease (also according to test results). Then they go to the AIDS center, an infectious disease doctor, he prescribes them antiretroviral therapy (ART) and, “oh, miracle!”, the viral load went down, the number of CD4 lymphocytes reached again normal level, the patient feels great, and as soon as he stops taking ART, the cycle repeats again - at least N number of times, at least among millions of HIV-infected people. Is not it proof of the existence of HIV?

Who are AIDS dissidents?

Tommy Morrison, who died of AIDS, was a heavyweight boxing champion. He and his wife denied the possibility of contracting HIV and did not believe that HIV existed at all.

IN Lately There are a lot of people who deny the existence of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), questioning the fact that acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is caused by HIV. They also call themselves AIDS dissidents. There are two groups of AIDS dissidents: priests and victims.

Priests- these are businessmen who, for money, spread information about the non-existence of HIV and AIDS. Their activities are aimed at destroying society, the state, and the economy through the spread of HIV infection (if a person does not believe in HIV, then he will not be afraid to have risky sexual relationships, use drugs and will easily fall prey to AIDS, lose his ability to work and become a burden to society) .

Victims- these are usually HIV-infected people who did not accept the diagnosis, grasp at any straw and subsequently die from AIDS, because refuse anti-AIDS drugs (ART). They unconditionally believe lies and actively spread them in order to suppress doubts - “together it’s not scary.”

I recommend a very good group on VKontakte about the consequences of HIV denial, former AIDS dissidents, about deceased HIV-infected people who did not take anti-HIV medications - HIV/AIDS dissidents and their children.

Science is not a religion that can be believed in when it is convenient and rejected when it gets in the way. Yes, there are many contradictions, and, yes, today's truth may turn out to be a lie tomorrow. But the fact remains: the Earth is round and revolves around the Sun, cells need oxygen to live and produce carbon dioxide, trees bloom in the spring and smoking causes lung cancer.

AND HIV causes AIDS!

Video. Exposing AIDS dissidents live on the program “Let Them Talk”

The video shows that Vyacheslav Morozov, the leader of AIDS dissidents, did not bring a single argument, did not even have a basic medical education, he repeated everything with the eyes of a mad zombie like a mantra: “HIV does not exist!”, And besides, he is a liar who easily changes his shoes in the air, which discredited the entire Russian AIDS dissident community.

Morozov in the video says that he has never been tested for HIV, and previously claimed that he is HIV-infected with experience. In the video he said that “it was a scam,” i.e. lies like he breathes.

The lies of AIDS dissident Vyacheslav Morozov.

The lies of the Russian mastermind of AIDS dissidents about his HIV status.

Also states that he was never examined, but in fact he was examined.

Morozov’s lie that he was not tested for HIV.

Why does he need this dissidence? — Vyacheslav Morozov simply found his audience to feed his self.

For the sake of fairness, it must be said that the other side was not up to the mark, judging by their answers, they are far from real work with HIV-infected people, care, or do not say much (not everything is so rosy: there are a lot of problems with medical confidentiality, medical deontology, free examination for HIV, HIV-infected people without queues and hassle, by correctly prescribing ART, when the doctor simply cannot prescribe a suitable regimen, because there are simply no drugs to treat HIV infection, there is no money for the viral load). Today people are not impressed by scientific titles, etc. Rarely does a person receive them for a truly real contribution to medical science.

Top 5 myths about HIV. Maxim Kazarnovsky. Scientists against myths 7-3 (very high-quality, fundamental video).

Who doesn't like watching videos? transcript from Daria Tretinko, Georgy Sokolov /edits made/:

VRAL Prize finalist Olga Kovekh believes that AIDS can be treated with Tonus juice.

Myths are different from each other. They can be divided into two groups:

1. Myths of the class “someone is wrong on the Internet”, they cause a storm of comments, calling on respected people to spend their working days with brass saws and granite blocks.

2. Other myths are destructive, harmful effects.

On the slide you see absolutely real news headlines from the last few months of our country. These headings are just a snapshot, and there are also numbers.

If we look, these numbers mean the number of new people infected with HIV that appeared in the world in 2016. Why 2016? Because the data for 2017 has not yet been delivered, this is the latest. And our country and the territory surrounding it are not something that stands out very much: 190 thousand here, in Asia - a little more, in Europe and America - a little less. But if we look at the dynamics... we will see that thanks to the efforts of the World Health Organization, the number of new cases around the world - especially look at Africa - has decreased quite seriously since 2015, while in our country it has increased by about 60%. That is, in 2016 we had 60% more new HIV infections than there were in 2015. With such dynamics, we will very quickly become ahead of the rest. What do they tell us from time to time in the news? That we must be ahead of the rest! But probably not in this race.

What is HIV?

In order to sort out the myths, first we have to understand what HIV is. Let's start, as always, with terminology. HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. After HIV we have AIDS, it is not a virus, but a disease, which stands for Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, also human. And both of these terms are united by a symbol - a ribbon. (see slide) If you see such a ribbon, then it is something related to the fight against HIV infection.

What are viruses in general? Viruses are particles that have a very simple structure and consist of two or three parts. The first part is a certain genetic material, it is DNA or RNA, it is packaged in a dense protein shell, it is called a capsid. There may or may not be a fatty membrane around it; it is called a super-capsid. If there is one, it is also studded with some kind of squirrels.

That is, everything is simple, much simpler than the cells that we are made of. And this simplicity determines that the virus itself cannot exist; it needs cells to live. When he finds a cell that he can infect, he gets inside, delivers his genes there, forces them to work there, because of this, the cell redirects all its resources to servicing the virus, essentially producing new viruses at the expense of its resources.

Then the cell, as a rule, dies and the viruses spread throughout the environment, trying to infect new cells. Specifically, HIV is related to cells of the immune system, namely two types. The main type that is responsible for AIDS is called lymphocytes. When HIV infection first occurs, the number of lymphocytes in a person drops very sharply, but then quickly recovers, as the immune system turns on: it is able to suppress the development of the virus at the initial stages.

The number of lymphocytes is restored to almost 100%, but then, over quite a long time, it slowly decreases and eventually disappears to almost nothing. At first, when a person has a normal number of lymphocytes, he does not feel that he is infected with anything, he feels absolutely normal. Then comes a period of illness, which we call AIDS. A person has acquired immunodeficiency and, as a rule, immunodeficiency ends, unfortunately, in death. What does it have to do with death from something simple, like a cold. If we do not treat a person, then the period from the onset of infection to death is 5-10 years. If a person is treated, now we say that it is 40-50 years. But we must understand that 10 years ago we said that this would be 20-30 years, that is, in another 10 years we will promise people 70-80 years of life. The drugs are improving and sooner or later we will achieve immortality through HIV. Joke.

We now have a lot of drugs to treat HIV. But there is one small problem. We do not have a single solution on how to completely expel HIV from the body. We have many drugs that slow down the spread of this virus throughout the human body, making it non-infectious to other people. But they all have such a property that they must be taken throughout life. Unfortunately, it is impossible to take a pill - and that’s it, HIV is cured. There are certain studies and, perhaps, sooner or later, we will most likely cope with this.

Now let's go through the main myths. There are a lot of them and they are very different, so I took a small section.

Myth-1: HIV does not exist, no one has seen it.

Who can benefit from such a myth? Well, obviously, pharmaceutical companies. To have drugs, especially since they are not cheap, especially since you need to take them all your life, constantly, that is, this is a lot of money. Pharmaceutical companies are profiting from this - and they are really profiting from it. HIV is a commercially very successful disease for pharmaceutical companies. But the fact that it benefits them does not mean that they are to blame for this and that they invented HIV. How can we answer the question of whether we have HIV or not? We can try to look into a microscope and see whether it is there or not. Or we can trust someone authoritative, who constantly publishes articles about certain new features of HIV in various scientific journals related to biology and medicine. To look at HIV, a simple microscope is not enough for us. HIV is very small, so it can only be seen with an electron microscope.

Suppose you and I have an electron microscope. Suppose you and I have a team of specialists who will prepare a drug for us and isolate this virus - they know how to use a microscope and will be able to photograph it. What will we see? Now there will be a short quiz. And we will see something like this:

Can anyone tell me where is HIV here?

And now HIV is marked:

Does he have a sign that says “I am HIV”? Of course not. Looking at viruses is, of course, very cool. They are beautiful, but often it is a futile process. By appearance, a specialist, of course, will recognize something. The rabies virus is recognized by any person who has studied in medical university- and recognizes him the first time. It’s the same with bacteriophages; any biologist will recognize it. All the rest are some kind of small pellets and this doesn’t tell us anything. Okay, we didn't see it.

But let's see, maybe there are some consequences of the existence of HIV that we can feel? Someone tells us that HIV exists. And because HIV exists, a number of events occur. And we really have a lot of information: the fact is that HIV is, on this moment, the most well-studied virus in the world. Huge resources are being devoted to studying this virus. Because of this, in addition to medical issues, HIV has become - this particular virus - has become a widely used tool in many areas of industry, in many areas of medicine, etc. It can be changed, its genetic material can be replaced with what we need and used in medicine, industry, etc. I can give a million examples, but I will focus on just one.

This story happened several years ago, I think in 2008 or 2009. There was a little girl, she was 3-4 months old. She was diagnosed with a serious form of cancer, which at that time could not be cured. Five years ago her parents would have been told “take her home and say goodbye, she won’t live.” But there were researchers who did something like this: they isolated her from this girl immune cells, took a modified HIV and treated her immune cells with this virus. There weren't any virus genes there, but there were genes that directed immune cells against her cancer. After that, these cells were multiplied, poured back into the girl and we saw what any oncologist dreams of seeing. They saw complete remission. That is, this girl does not have cancer now, she is alive, she goes to school, she is doing well, and besides this girl, many people can say that they are alive thanks to the fact that we have artificial viruses based on HIV.

Thus, we can say that yes: they were seen and constantly photographed so that articles could be made and such myths could be debunked. And yes, we actively use it - if we didn’t have it, there would be a lot of problems in biology and medicine. So HIV has been seen and it exists.

If HIV has been seen and it exists, maybe it does not cause AIDS?

Myth-2: HIV does not cause AIDS.

Here, it will be necessary to look into history. The fact is that first there was AIDS. At first there was no virus; no one has found it yet. We found people who had AIDS. What is AIDS - a disease characterized by a certain set of symptoms.

Such as: swelling of the lymph nodes, which is quite serious. Immunodeficiency itself - that is, people suffer much more severely and for longer from the simplest diseases and sooner or later, unfortunately, die. And we have a very specialized form of cancer for HIV, it’s called “Kaposi’s sarcoma” - and this is not a sight for the sensitive. It is connected with the fact that the herpes virus, which many of us have in a latent state, begins to do terrible things against the background of immunodeficiency.

Who were the first patients diagnosed with this disease? Recipients donated blood to Haiti. There were diseases where people with hemophilia were treated, they were given constant transfusions and they developed this disease. This disease was discovered in pairs of “special” men from the United States. And at the moment when they began to actively look for it, it was simply discovered among people living in Uganda, it is not tied to any individual social groups.

What does a doctor do when there is a certain huge population of humanity and certain islands begin to appear in it, where people get sick with a certain disease? How to understand what causes this disease? The virus has not yet been invented, I remind you that it is not in the picture of the world. There is only disease. When asked how to find a source, Nobel laureate Robert Koch answered. Now we call this "Koch's postulates." Namely, the sequence of actions on how we can find the pathogen. Robert Koch proposed taking sick people and taking healthy people, isolating from them everything that we find in them, all the bacteria and viruses - everything. After this, look at what we have isolated, eliminate those variants that are repeated in both populations, and what remains, what is present in patients and absent in healthy people, will be our candidate for a microorganism.

We found him. But we don’t yet know whether it causes disease. Next you need to take the second step. You can take a healthy person, inject the microorganisms we have isolated into a healthy person and make sure that they cause exactly the same disease. Cool, right? Scientists still decided not to go that far; they did a slightly different thing. They isolated human immune cells and dropped the freshly isolated virus into them.

Before this, we knew of viruses that infect immune cells, but no previously known virus killed immune cells as quickly as the virus isolated from these sick people did. This concerns specifically cellular issues, but there were also human issues. The fact is that no medical experiments were carried out, but they were not medical experiments.

There are two groups of people, one of them is called bugchasers ( English " bug hunters") are people who are initially free from HIV, but for some internal reason want to get it. And they do it very well. They come into unprotected contacts, they inject themselves with the blood of infected people, get HIV and die from AIDS.

Besides them, there are even darker stories, these are gift givers ( English“givers”) are people who know about their HIV-positive status, but do not disclose it and try to spread it as much as possible around them, among their acquaintances, creating such a community of HIV-positive people. Observations of these two groups showed that yes: HIV is transmitted from one person to another and HIV causes AIDS. Thus, we can assume, both from the results of medical experiments and from the results of non-medical ones, that HIV still causes AIDS.

The third myth is partly similar to the second, it goes like this:

Myth 3: HIV is too weak to kill.

A bit of a strange statement. But now I will show you what its adherents rely on. They rely on the graph:

Do you remember that without treatment, a sick person dies within 5-10 years. In order to understand why this raises some questions, I must explain one more term to you. Some time passes between the moment when some organisms enter a person’s body and the moment when they cause specific symptoms in him or kill him. This time is called incubation period. If we look at the viruses that I have already shown you, we will see that their incubation periods are measured in days.

For the flu it takes 1-3 days; you become infected and immediately fall ill. With rabies, for example, if a dog bites you, a person may not feel that he has any problems for up to 2 months. But these are not years. And HIV has a first period of symptoms, when the first drop in lymphocytes occurred... but, in general, it is AIDS that develops over months, years, and even many years. Adherents of the myth say that like a virus with such a long incubation period can kill someone?

We will have to go back to the cells that HIV infects. These are lymphocytes, the same thing that is measured for HIV infection. The absence of these cells causes AIDS.

On the other hand, we have a second type of cell, they are called macrophages and these cells differ in their response to HIV infection.

Lymphocytes are cells that live in the lymph nodes, our lymphatic system. They respond to infection with the HIV virus by rapid suicide. Lymphocytes sense this virus and die on their own. Macrophages are a slightly different story, we have them throughout our body, these are also immune cells.

In a section of the brain you can see that the red ones are nerve cells, and the green ones are macrophages. That is, there are many more of them in the brain than nerve cells. They are in the bones, in the liver, in adipose tissue - everywhere. When they are infected with HIV, they, unfortunately, do not die. They live and constantly, at a low speed, release the virus into the blood.

What this actually leads to is that when a virus infection first occurs, a small number of macrophages become infected with this virus and release a very small amount of viruses into the blood. Most of this small amount of virus settles on lymphocytes, the lymphocytes die immediately, and a very small part continues to spread in macrophages. After some time, a larger number of macrophages release the virus, and accordingly, a larger number of lymphocytes die, but our Bone marrow can restore them in sufficiently large quantities. AIDS occurs when a lot of our tissues: the brain, adipose tissue, bones - everything is secreted by this virus, it destroys almost all lymphocytes, that is, it practically ceases to cope with the restoration of the pool of lymphocytes that we need to carry out our immune function. Thus, if we say that HIV is too weak to kill a person, I would even say, on the contrary, that it is too strong. It is not beneficial for him to be so strong against lymphocytes and kill them simply upon touching. Regarding macrophages, it is quite difficult for him to reach them, but gradually he spreads into them and still does his dirty work. It's not weak, it just spreads like that.

Myth 4: HIV was created artificially

The fourth myth is common among adherents of all kinds of conspiracy theories, world government, and so on. It claims that HIV was created artificially in order, for example, to clear Africa for settlement by new colonists, or similar things.

There are many ideas about who invented it: Zionists, reptilians in order to kill us all. Or ours tried. In general, someone gathered strength and came up with, programmed and made HIV. Here we will have to delve into its structure and remember its history. So, the structure of HIV, as I already said: genes - RNA, packaged in a protein shell - capsid, supercapsid is also present, between the capsid and supercapsid there is a bunch of dissolved proteins, which are needed in the first stages to subjugate the cell that the virus has infected. The virus genome has several genes that contain everything needed to subjugate a cell and make new viruses. One of the genes produces envelope proteins, another produces supercapsid proteins, and the third produces proteins of this intercapsid space, which work only in the infected cell. This is a rather complex system, packed into only 10,000 letters. There are 10,000 nucleotides, 10,000 letters of this RNA in the virus.

HIV, but in general any virus, can be compared to a cunning flash drive, which, when inserted into a computer, immediately infects the computer and forces it to work as it should and read information from it, and at the same time it is a rather complex program. That is, in order to make such a flash drive and program, you need to have a lot of knowledge about how “ computer technology- in the way life works, in relation to this case, if we are talking about viruses.

Now let's look at the history of the HIV virus. Can we create a virus like HIV now? In principle, if we try, probably yes. Our current knowledge is enough to create such a design, such a flash drive. But let's look at when it was discovered and what happened to the knowledge then? Let's start with knowledge.

1953, one of the most significant years in the history of biology, Watson, Crick and Rosalind Franklin discovered and deciphered the structure of DNA. We, roughly speaking, have learned how the text on which all life is written works. A little later, in 1964, the genetic code was deciphered. Before that we learned that the text existed, that it was written, and in 1964 we received information about what it more or less means. And if we talk about genetic engineering, about the production of some kind of genetic constructs, then we cannot do without what we now call the polymerase chain reaction, which was invented in 1983. Without it, do something normal in genetic engineering, the production of artificial viruses will not work.

Now let's return to HIV. The first infected person - this is marked in italics on the slide, because this is a retrospective analysis of what we discovered at the time HIV was found: we assumed that the first infected person, the so-called “first patient,” was in 1920-1921 in the Kinshasa area in Congo. In 1959, we already had what is called “hard evidence”: at that moment, research was carried out in Africa, during which a lot of blood tests were collected. And all these analyzes were already examined after the fact in the 1990s for HIV. In 1959, a blood test was taken, in which we discovered HIV after the fact. This is the first serious confirmation. In 1981, AIDS was discovered and the first newspaper publications appeared. Initially, this same “Kaposi’s sarcoma” was discovered. Thus, we can say that at the time when HIV supposedly appeared, people did not yet know how to produce it. There is another explanation for where it came from. In my opinion, it is simpler, although it may not seem so to you.

On the slide you see the evolutionary tree of various immunodeficiency viruses. Several viruses are noted here, now I will explain what they mean. The top two are chimpanzee HIV viruses. Anyone can go to Africa and separate them from chimpanzees. The bottom two are mangobey immunodeficiency viruses. Likewise, anyone can go, catch a mangobey, take a blood test from it and isolate the virus from it. human HIV different types are very close to these viruses. Type 1 HIV is evolutionarily close to chimpanzee HIV, type 2 HIV is rarely talked about because it is not so aggressive and much less likely to cause AIDS - it is much closer to mangabey HIV.

If we compare their sequence, there is a complex picture here, but the main thing is the vertical sticks:

A vertical stick means that the letter of human HIV and the letter of chimpanzee HIV are the same, and 77% of these viruses have such matching letters. This is the normal evolution of viruses. If in the 1920s the virus somehow passed from chimpanzees to humans, through some mutation that allowed it to do so, then it could well have accumulated these 23% differences in the time that has passed since then and that it was spreading through the human population. Thus, while a person was just learning letters, the virus already existed. And it's more likely that we got it from chimpanzees than some of the research in the 20s that allowed people to create artificial viruses suggests. The myth is destroyed.

Myth-5: HIV-positive people are dangerous

And the last myth I would like to talk about is that it is the most socially important. This is that HIV positive people are dangerous. Many people believe that if an HIV-positive person appears among us now, we will all catch HIV at once and after a while we will get AIDS. In their minds, what happens is this: an infected person appeared and immediately all his colleagues, friends, family, everyone became infected from him, everyone got sick and everyone died. This leads to a very bad situation: any person who claims to be HIV positive finds himself in isolation. Not very competent doctors are starting to refuse it. Some clinics believe that such a person cannot be interacted with. This is absolutely wrong, it is possible, and it is safe - I will talk about this a little later. Such people are fired from their jobs, their wives/husbands leave them, their children are taken away from them. In general, it’s a difficult situation.

Let's understand transmission and the likelihood that you can get a person's HIV. The very first option is a blood transfusion, which is how it was originally transmitted.

90% is a lot and a scary number, but when was the last time you and your work colleague had a mutual blood transfusion? I think that doesn't happen very often at parties [audience laughs]. But other forms of interaction happen a little more often at parties.

What is the likelihood of getting HIV here? Suddenly, from about 0.04-1.43%. Depending on the form of interaction, you can get HIV with a probability of 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 100, 1 in 50. This is not such a high probability.

An option such as sharing a syringe. I hope no one here is sharing a syringe? But even here the probability is not so high: 0.3-0.7%. This would be more suitable for those people who are afraid of people like “gift givers”, because we are all sitting on soft armchairs now. And one of the main HIV phobias is that such a “gift giver” will come, prick himself with a needle and stick this needle in our chair. And we will sit down, inject ourselves and become infected with HIV. The fact is that HIV lives in these needles literally minutes. And so, if people constantly use these needles, then the chance of becoming infected is 0.3-0.7%. But the risk can be reduced.

If a man is circumcised, then during sexual intercourse the risk of infection is reduced by 60%, if a condom is used, then by 80% - from those small numbers. If pre-exposure prophylaxis is used... These are the drugs that we have in Russia and are registered. But, unfortunately, in Russia we do not have indications on which they can be prescribed. These are drugs for healthy people, HIV-negative, who suspect that they may soon come into contact with an HIV-positive person and want to protect themselves. And then, the risk of infection is reduced by 92%. That is, it’s already 0.04, but it can be reduced by another 92%. If an HIV-positive person himself takes all the medications, everything is fine with him and he achieves the holy grail of HIV treatment called “undetectable viral load”... that is, we conduct a test on him and do not see HIV in his blood. If he stops taking the drugs, we will see HIV, if he does not stop taking it, we will not see it. It (pre-exposure prophylaxis) reduces the risk of transmission during any interaction by 100%. The only thing is with the exception of blood transfusion. After all, blood is not transfused from HIV-infected people. All these percentages allowed us to take this photo:

Here Princess Diana, famous for her life and her charity, can be seen shaking hands with a man with terminal AIDS. As you can see, she does not use any gloves or antiseptics. Interacting with HIV-infected people is a completely safe process in most cases. In only a small number of cases there is a risk of transmission, which again can be reduced to zero by responsible actions on both sides of the interaction.

That's basically all I wanted to tell you. Patients with HIV are not dangerous, you can interact with them, and do not need to be avoided. Thank you!

Devastating video against AIDS dissidents (with text)

A long time ago, when I just moved from a small village to a huge metropolis called Moscow, they almost immediately began to scare me that it was very dangerous here. But something is etched into my memory so strongly that even now I check the seat in the cinema for needles sticking out there. Yes, I’m talking about the spread of HIV infection in the seats of theaters and cinemas, in sandboxes, on handrails in the subway. You've definitely heard about this and it's scary.

But today we will talk not only about this. We will talk about HIV and AIDS in general, and touch on the topic of conspiracies. Suddenly this virus does not exist at all.
We are all assured that the immunodeficiency virus exists when no one sees it.

Vladimir Ageev:

“He can live with the virus for the rest of his life and will not manifest himself like this virus.”
“Somewhere he’s sick, somewhere he’s not.”
“The drugs that killed him.”

What is the difference between HIV and AIDS? Is there a big difference between them?

Elena Malysheva: “The girl was sick with AIDS, but her adoptive parents refused to treat her. Dad believed that AIDS did not exist. Dad was a priest.”

Pop: “AIDS occurs from 4 reasons: stress, depression...”

I believe that this topic is very important, so I have enlisted the help of scientists who will help implement today's video. I hope with your help as many people as possible will see it. To begin with, I would like to tell you what it is and where it came from.

History of HIV/AIDS

HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. There are several types of them, they all originated in central and western Africa and were transmitted to people from monkeys, since the monkey immunodeficiency virus is evolutionarily very close to human virus. I know what you're thinking right now.

Big-nosed monkey.

Well, how else could it be transmitted from a monkey? Yes, I also heard about this at school, but they were not necessarily transmitted that way (sexually). There is evidence that monkey hunters and meat suppliers often contract the virus through direct contact with blood.

You probably know that HIV is transmitted through blood, through needles, through any unprotected types of intercourse, but it is not at all obvious that HIV is not transmitted through saliva, when swimming in a pool, by airborne droplets and through the bites of mosquitoes and most insects.

Yes, this is not obvious, because many diseases can be transmitted through insects, and it was this discovery that allowed famous people publicly prove that nothing will happen to them if they come into contact with HIV-infected people. Thus, he destroys stupid myths that were born in batches in the 80s and 90s and still live. For example, in these photographs Princess Diana communicates closely with HIV-infected people. But not everyone sees these photographs. They don’t read specifically about this virus. For what? This does not concern them, but this is precisely why it is now difficult for a person to admit if he is sick with HIV. He will be shunned by his work colleagues, it will be difficult for him to find relationships, and all because of the ignorance of people who think that they can pick up something just by communicating. Even if you rub against each other, nothing will happen.
I'm wondering if these people who shy away from HIV-positive people would happily hang out with actor Charlie Sheen. Why? It turns out that he is also infected.

Academician Vadim Pokrovsky says that the terrible Ebola virus, which you have all heard about, is simply nonsense compared to HIV, because in 40 years it has not been able to reach Europe.

Look, according to the latest data, almost 147 million people live in Russia, of which 1 million are currently living with HIV infection. Not so much? - This is every 147 people!

But what does this mean? — The more people are infected with HIV, the greater the testing ground for the evolution of this virus, the greater the likelihood that from these mutations that arise, some kind of this will appear a new version this virus, which will be even more effective in its spread.

If someone played the computer game Corporate, the more infected you have, the more mutation points you have, the closer you are to the final victory, and the final victory is the destruction of humanity.

HIV definitely causes a disease called Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, abbreviated as .

As a child, I didn’t know the difference between these two terms. And this is easy to see - he has quite clear symptoms. For example, severe swelling of the lymph nodes and all this can lead to complete stiffness.
A human body that simply stops protecting itself from any infections and tumors, and even ordinary herpes, which most of us have, but we don’t notice because it doesn’t bother us, can kill you.

Initially, this disease was associated with the disease of drug addicts who inject themselves with one needle in a dirty alley, but this is long in the past. The line has been erased and now every person on this planet is at risk. Here you are walking down the street, there are a lot of people, you walk twenty steps and there is a high probability that you will pass next to an HIV-infected person.

So you understand more clearly what the problem is? In all countries, the dynamics of infection is gradually falling, but not in Russia. Why are the dynamics of infection in Russia growing? Doesn't anyone warn us about the risks?

Dynamics of identifying new patients with HIV infection from the beginning of the epidemic until 2017 inclusive.

Of course, we are warned about the risks, especially on the eve of December 1st World HIV Day.
There is one serious problem that in any normal country in the world, HIV prevention is based on working with risk groups. There is such a concept - it is called harm reduction, proposed by the World Health Organization and widely used around the world. It includes measures such as distributing disposable syringes to drug users, working with commercial sex workers, providing them with contraceptives, for example, distributing special medications. There are medications that a healthy partner should take and that allow him not to become infected with the immunodeficiency virus from his sick partner.
This whole set of measures and this whole harm reduction scheme actually works quite well. That is, she makes these risk groups safe for others. Unfortunately, none of the harm reduction schemes have been adopted in our country. Our public organizations are trying to do something on their own. In Yekaterinburg there is a harm reduction scheme, in St. Petersburg they are trying to distribute syringes. And all this runs into organized opposition from the state. The state does not understand this idea that people dependent on psychoactive substances should be treated as normal people and supply them with some things that they need, that commercial s*** workers should be treated like people, and so on and so forth.

In this regard, our prevention is quite ineffective. The measures that our state is taking are aimed at strengthening the institution of the family, at some kind of spiritual bonds that are actively promoted to us. Their propaganda, unfortunately, has long been shown to be ineffective for the modern depraved society. They tried to use them in African countries, but it didn’t work there and they still returned to distributing syringes and condoms.

Anti-AIDS T-shirts.

This seems clear, but while browsing the Internet and studying this topic, you will come across articles and groups that claim that HIV does not exist.

Does HIV exist?

An interesting fact: first they found the disease, and only then they found the virus that causes this disease. In 1981, signs of this disease were found in people who should not have it, since it was rare and certain situations. And in 1982, the term “acquired human immunodeficiency syndrome” was proposed. And only in 1983, a study was published in the journal Sience in which it was possible to find a retrovirus, which was later named human immunodeficiency virus.

HIV virus (mature forms)

This is what it looks like under an electron microscope. But this doesn’t give us anything, we can’t see with our eyes, which means it doesn’t exist. And the microscope, and only those who serve companies look into it. All clear.
What to do then? Alternatively, you can try to believe the leading scientific publications, which are constantly tinkering with this virus. Bought too? Damn corporation! And then even the biggest skeptic has the thought - damn, HIV is very beneficial for someone and how to check all this?

“Lifelong treatment with very expensive drugs suits pharmacists quite well.”

Yes, it’s hard to deny that HIV is very commercially profitable for pharmaceutical companies. To contain it you need to take expensive drugs all life.
Just imagine the profit from one person. But what can you do about it if it doesn’t exist?

Is there an option to completely rid a person of HIV?

— There is at least one patient who was completely cured of HIV, the so-called “Berlin patient.”
He suffered from both leukemia and HIV. For leukemia, various methods are used that make it possible to destroy actively dividing cells, and after that the person has to be transplanted with bone marrow. And in in this case For a bone marrow transplant, they decided to use not just a random person with suitable genetic markers, but also to select a donor who would have certain mutations that make him resistant to HIV.
They transplanted bone marrow from such a donor into the patient and eventually cured him of cancer and HIV, and to this day no traces of HIV have been found in him.

It turns out that if this is your genetics, then you can not get infected at all?

— There is a certain mutation that will make a person resistant to HIV, this is not a very common mutation, but a certain percentage of people have it.

As soon as we try to kill the virus, it still appears again and the only way to maintain a normal human life is to constantly take antiretroviral drugs every day. They help avoid the virus from multiplying, and the person begins to live a normal family life and work. He has perfectly healthy children and has the life expectancy of an ordinary person. What does this have to do with the profit of pharmaceutical companies? If it's just the only way to survive. There are clear statistics that show that an infected person will live up to 10 years without treatment, but with treatment he will live up to 50 years, on average.

This is a proven fact and the drugs are getting better. In a few years, we will see new numbers - for example, 80 years.

Even if you caught the virus, it's not the 80s. And there are medications that suppress symptoms. People live with this for many years.

What should a person who does not have money for treatment do? Is it really possible to die in agony?

No, of course, dying in pain is not a good idea. Like almost every state in the world, Russia undertakes to treat all HIV-infected people free of charge. If a person is diagnosed with HIV infection, he needs to confirm this diagnosis in. After this, the doctors and specialists who work in these centers are obliged to select a treatment regimen for him and supply him with medications throughout his life in order to, in fact, keep the disease under control. However, in Russia, unfortunately, this system quite often does not work. Many people are denied therapy for one reason or another. Simply because therapy is very expensive. There are interruptions in the supply of medicines and doctors are thus trying to reduce the financial burden on the healthcare institution.

In this case they can help public organizations. For example, there is such a foundation called AIDS.CENTER. There is an AIDS center, and there is the AIDS.CENTER foundation, where lawyers sit, people familiar with the problems of the community of HIV-infected people who can help achieve this therapy, achieve the treatment that the state is obliged to provide to all patients.

Should there be panic if a person is diagnosed with this?

Panic over this is also not a good choice in this case. That is, if such a diagnosis is discovered, then yes, you need to understand that this is most likely for life.

That is, there is still some chance that when it is checked at the AIDS center, but as a rule, if there is a positive reaction, then, as a rule, this indicates that the virus is present in the blood. It is necessary to start treatment. Previously, those who used the drug had quite serious side effects.
Now this is no longer a problem. Most drugs do not have serious side effects, they can be taken for life, and if a person develops any side effects, he can change the drug.
The main thing is to adhere to treatment and constantly contact your doctor. The drugs work so well, HIV is suppressed so much that it is not detectable in the blood. The life expectancy of HIV-infected people is now no different from the life expectancy of ordinary healthy people.

And yet the existence of HIV is easy to verify in practice. No, you don't need to get sick. There are a lot of people who did this not of their own free will. Very briefly, scientists have learned to use it for their own purposes: they inject a modified immunodeficiency virus into the patient, before removing from him everything that causes disease. It attacks, say, cancerous tissue without affecting healthy tissue, and a person can be cured.
This proves to us that such a virus exists, we know its structure. We are studying it. He's very scary. But even from this we can benefit.

What benefit do these scientists have? On the contrary, they take money from those who treat cancer. Think about it.
People who see conspiracies in everything accuse Academician Pokrovsky, whom we talked about earlier, of being an agent of the West and trying to destroy Russia with his fictitious AIDS. Pretends that he is healing, but in fact he is brutally killing and it turns out he is not scientific evidence That in general, there is HIV and AIDS.

The question arises: if HIV does not exist, then why are you dying? I appeal to those who write all this. You hear stories of HIV-infected people who have refused treatment and are fine. But all is not well with them. It’s just that they will say until the last moment that it’s normal until they die, but what if I show a list of dead people who believed that HIV did not exist.
And this is only a small part, all of them die. They transmit the virus to other people, kill their children.

No scientific evidence, you say? and what's that? and what's that?

All these studies indicate the presence of a virus. That it leads to AIDS. And then you think that all this was paid for by the government. And I’m paid too, of course. But do you really know why I do this?

Improving critical thinking skills among people who use the Internet to obtain health information is essential to reducing the harm of AIDS denial, one study found.

And knowing from personal experience, if you take treatment or search for your symptoms on the Internet, you will only make things worse. If you feel that something is wrong, get examined and I will be very glad if this video helps someone think more critically.

HIV exists, it’s hard to argue with, but what are the dangers of denying it? There is a group on VKontakte called “HIV/AIDS dissidents and their children.”
They are monitoring and counting deaths from this terrible disease. Moreover, difficult deaths, namely those people who maximally denied the presence of HIV in nature and were not treated. They are called HIV dissidents.
They are dying. What else do they have left? Any cold, any fungus eats them from the inside, and the body cannot resist. But these people, as a rule, communicate very aggressively with those who advise treatment and sincerely do not understand how you can not take care of yourself like that?
But in response they hear: “It’s all a conspiracy!! And you all are creatures, die faster than I will dance on your graves, paid for by the government, you freaks!”

But after a short time, their predictions are shattered, because they die. Irony? Just a lack of any critical thinking and maximum denial of your problem. And it’s okay if you push yourself, but not everything is so simple. Take as an example 36-year-old Sofia, who recently died from double pneumonia due to HIV infection. According to the classics, she denied the disease, wished death to all those who advised her something and everything like that.
But she did not treat her small children as if there was no problem at all and the children died because their mother infected them during childbirth. There seems to be a problem and it’s simply stupid to ignore it. They could survive. Do you understand? If a woman took special medications, it is more likely that children would be born without the virus.
And, unfortunately, there are a lot of such stories. Moms who have read unsubstantiated nonsense get these consequences in the form of dead children.
Yes, it’s tough, but it’s not the children’s fault that they have mothers like this and it needs to stop.

But even here there are conspiracy theories, because a huge number of people claim that HIV was created by people in order to control mortality around the world and, of course, make money from suckers who believe that HIV drugs help.

Who is interesting in spreading this information? You are interested?

Conspiracies

There is such a person - doctor, certified specialist Olga Kovekh.
She is dedicated to giving all HIV-infected people their free advice. After all, she is a doctor, she treats people. There is no reason not to believe her, say those people who listen and end up dying.

On the Internet, Olga Kovekh is called “Doctor Death.” She claims that those who believe in HIV are sectarians, and also that this is biological warfare on the orders of Washington and control of mortality.
It sounds like a stupid action movie cliché, but I'm sure she means it. She also thinks that microwave ovens can lower immunity, but juice from the store, on the contrary, increases it, even when you have an immunodeficiency. Advises pregnant mothers with HIV not to get vaccinated or take medications. And yes, and in general a lot more.
All her theses can be destroyed with scientific point vision, but this is not interesting to people who believe it. For her actions, she was recently fired from her job. She justified it by saying that she simply knew the truth.

Here's another interesting thing - Duesberg's hypothesis. It lies in the fact that HIV is actually just a safe virus sitting in the body and AIDS is obtained in a different way, and it was not found in Africa.

I say this because Peter Duesberg is a molecular biologist and professor of molecular and cellular biology at the University of California, Berkeley.
Not bad, right? He wrote books and disseminated his knowledge in every possible way, and Thabo Mbeki, no less than the President of the Republic of South Africa, agreed with this. He fought with scientists and opposed the distribution of drugs to treat HIV. The president!
There is a study that says that from 2000 to 2005, 365 thousand people died in South Africa due to this conspiracy hysteria, including 35 thousand children. Not a bad price to pay for a mistake. Yes?
All this might not have happened. After all, listening to what this scientist and this president had to say, the Durban Declaration was presented in 2000. A document signed by five thousand scientists, each of whom has a doctorate and does not work in state corporations, so that there are no rumors of a conspiracy.

Text of the Durban Declaration.

It is interesting that one of the most prominent HIV/AIDS researchers, the author of many scientific discoveries in this area, the director of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Anthony Fauci, did not sign the Durban Declaration. In an interview with the Washington Post, he explained his position as follows:

The document makes clear that there is unequivocal evidence that HIV causes AIDS and it kills people. All this was published in the scientific journal Nature and presented at an AIDS conference.

This has been successfully ignored and people are actually dying. A very interesting thing comes here, which is called the “Dr. Fox” effect, if you see a man in a white coat who says some smart scientific things, you get the impression that he is telling the truth. If he says complete nonsense, you won’t even notice it because of the speaker’s charisma.
This whole movement was supported by a bunch of people, for example, Carrie Mullis, an American biochemist, winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1993, also thinks that HIV is a government conspiracy, that everyone around is lying, and he also believes in astrology.

Bravo! If everyone around you is bought by the government, if they are so powerful and can buy all the pharmaceutical companies, then why are you still alive. You stand in front of people telling them the shocking truth, and for some reason the government doesn’t care about you. That is why on the Internet you can find books in which there are a lot of scientific terms, everything seems to be fine, but it is completely wrong and it would be good to ban them from distribution for the security of the country. But no one does anything about it.
But in fact, the Ministry of Health is trying. Sold out to the Ministry of Health! The Ministry of Health has introduced a bill, which may be introduced in 2019, which obliges to fine everyone who promotes refusal of HIV treatment. We'll see later how quiet it will be on the forums, if of course they accept it.
But what if we are wrong? Scientists are lying and the virus was actually created artificially. Is it possible to create an artificial immunodeficiency virus?
This question can be broken down into two: Could a similar virus be made in 1920? This is approximately the time when HIV is believed to first infect a person based on available reconstructions. And is it possible to make a similar virus today using all modern technologies?
If we are talking about then, then we must understand that at that time no one even knew that DNA was responsible for transmission to the media. Not to mention the fact that there were no modern methods of genetic engineering and there is absolutely no need to talk about the artificial creation of some kind of virus.

If we are talking about today, then today the HIV genome has been read. Therefore, if someone wanted to create a similar virus today, they could take the HIV genome sequence from public databases. Synthesize a genome, put it into a human cell, force it to produce viral particles.
Then he received this virus in the laboratory, but pay attention, I described the process of copying a copy of a virus already created by nature.
But it’s unlikely that anyone could make such a virus or design it today. Even modern science does not allow us to design HIV from scratch. At most, we can copy this virus, we can modify it a little. The possibilities are not that great.

Alexander Gordon:

“If you remember, the first person to be diagnosed with this disease was the American tennis player Ash, who lived with this disease for 15 years. And the first thing that alarmed me about this story was that he had two healthy children and a healthy wife. Although they lived together for 15 years and children were born in this marriage. Therefore, the devil is not so terrible if he exists. On an unproven basis, on an unisolated virus. That is, it seems to me that this is a deception.”

“I believe that AIDS is a religion whose priests are corrupt doctors who have forgotten what the Hippocratic Oath is, and pharmacologists who make a business out of human fear. The product has been turned into a thriving business. What particularly infuriates me in this campaign is the role of the so-called World Health Organization, which is populated by medical officials. They invent all these diseases and many restrictions associated with them.”

How easy it is for a once famous TV presenter to manipulate people and manipulate facts, isn’t it? And then tell it all on Channel One. But still, the first cases of infection appeared in 1981. It is assumed that Arthur Ashe became infected only in 1983, but found out about it in 1988. He lived with HIV not 15, but a maximum of 10 years, and he had not two daughters, but one adopted one. Her name is Camera.

I wonder why I should be infected in the first place, and why didn’t my wife become infected? Maybe because the likelihood of getting infected is not so high. Maybe because there are people who, in principle, are not susceptible to infection. Maybe because Arthur Ashe opened his own foundation after his diagnosis and promoted safe relationships. But really, why go into detail.
And this is only a small part influential people and scientists who like to manipulate facts, take only those studies that are beneficial to them and thereby put people at risk. In general, there should never be authorities. Everyone makes mistakes and no one is perfect and in no case should you trust me since I am just a repeater. But fortunately, on the topic of HIV there is something to compare with. Out of more than 100 thousand publications, you will find at most a hundred obscurantist ones.
Why do people continue to resist the facts and avoid treatment? What motivates them?
In this case, the main problem, it seems to me, is the stigmatization of the topic of HIV infection and people infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. The fact is that when you first appeared it was a disease of the so-called marginalized. Yes, these are still the main vulnerable groups: these are “special” men (MSM), people who use injection drugs psychoactive substances(PIN), commercial sex workers (CSW).
Previously, people believed that only these groups were susceptible to HIV infection and, accordingly, if a person was diagnosed with HIV infection, then he belonged to one of these groups: that is, he either injected himself, or used the services of commercial sex workers, and so on .
And until now, unfortunately, this is a very persistent myth if a person gets HIV. Moreover, now these listed methods of obtaining human immunodeficiency virus are by no means prevalent. All over the world, the main method of transmission of HIV infection is through natural sexual contact: from man to woman, from woman to man. However, until now, if a person is diagnosed with HIV infection, he, first of all, begins to think: “How could I get it? I don’t inject drugs there, I don’t communicate with prostitutes,” and so on.

On the other hand, people around him decide that he is some kind of marginalized person, that he leads an antisocial lifestyle. Such people have problems at work, this is further aggravated by the fact that people believe that such people are dangerous.

For such people, problems begin in family life: their wives and husbands leave them, they lose children... Their circle begins to avoid them, naturally, when a person is faced with the fact that he is diagnosed with “HIV infection,” he clutches at any straw just to disagree with this diagnosis, just to avoid ending up in this marginal community.

HIV dissidence is growing from here - that is, people are trying to cling to the idea that HIV does not exist in order not to admit that they are in such a situation.

One of the main ideas of the World Health Organization is that everyone should receive treatment, regardless of social status, regardless of citizenship.
If an HIV-infected immigrant comes to us, he should be treated, and not forced to register. Treat now.

And now I will very briefly tell you everything you need to know about HIV dissidence.

AIDS dissidents

HIV-positive parents won the right to refuse treatment for their child in court in 1998. The boy died 8 years later; his parents refused to comment on the situation. Christine Maggiore, an HIV-positive activist, lost her little daughter because she infected her herself. She was sure that it was because of the drugs and wrote a book, which she distributed herself. Founded a denial organization and stuff like that.
Bassist for the band Foo Fighters, came across this book. He told the whole group about it, everyone believed in the importance of all this and began to support the organization for the denial of HIV and AIDS by giving large charity concerts.
The problem is that Christine Maggiore died from complications due to HIV infection in 2008.
Currently, on the Foo Fighters website there is no reference to the fact that they support this organization. They probably changed their minds and learned not to do it anymore.

But since we have found out that HIV exists, that it kills, that it was not created artificially, let’s talk about the risks of contracting this very HIV and I assure you this part will simply break your patterns.

Risk of infection

How do you think you will get infected if you are transfused with infected blood in a hospital? Well, that’s logical, the chance of this is 90 percent. What do you think is the chance of contracting HIV during any sexual intercourse with an infected person? In the majority, this is how it is transmitted - One and a half percent!
This is some kind of nonsense! There is an urgent need to double-check the information before it is necessary, but I have already double-checked this data a bunch of times; this data is correct for one sexual act, but they become infected with it because multiple connections increase the likelihood and the percentages only grow.
According to statistics, the probability of infection during natural sexual intercourse is negligible, but what about the needle, the blood remains and you sat on a slipped needle in the cinema and that’s it. Only HIV lives outside the body very little and most likely, when we got on it, it had already died, but even if you stick a syringe into a drug addict’s vein, and then immediately to yourself, the probability of transmission is 0.63%.

When I saw these official figures, I was shocked; it destroys my entire understanding of HIV infection. But you need to pull yourself together and understand that even though the percentage is small, it still exists and therefore you need to take all precautions to reduce even these minor risks on the Internet.
I have seen stories that people were given HIV from dentistry, tattoo parlors, and nail salons. This is possible, hypothetically, this is really possible, that is, in all places where contact of some instrument with the blood of an HIV-positive patient is possible, this blood can be used accidentally or intentionally to infect a healthy person. However, such cases have not happened for a long time.

In fact, the appearance of HIV infection on our medical horizon led to a rather serious change in the rules of interaction with human blood. In particular, for example, now you almost never find reusable instruments for contact with blood. Almost everything that is used for collecting donor blood or for analysis is all disposable things, the same goes for tattoo needles and everything else.
We have almost completely switched to disposable instruments precisely due to the risk of transmitting HIV and similar infections.

Now this is largely a myth, that is, if someone really wants to infect a person in a tattoo parlor, they can do it, but it will be a criminal offense.

This doesn't happen now. Not long ago another one appeared urban legend, which says that under no circumstances should you consume products produced by Pepsi because the employee or employees added their infected blood to it.
Such messages are often spread online like all other nonsense, but this is something that still scares people here, but in fact this story was circulating on American websites back in 2011 and was transmitted in the same way through instant messengers.

People are simply intimidated and panicked. HIV will not survive in such an environment, and even if the virus is in the drink, to date there have not been a single case of HIV infection through food.

Distributors are simply playing on the gullibility of people. In my memory, there has not been a single case when loud announcements were massively distributed through a messenger, which in the end turned out to be true.

Stop believing it already. What recommendations are there? There really aren’t many. To be checked, the sooner the virus is found, the easier it will be to reduce the number of sexual partners.
And if you imagine yourself to be a macho man, then be sure to take protection; this will reduce the risk. The analysis, of course, needs to be done because a person may not suspect at first that he is infected; also, do not be drug addicts and do not inject yourself with dirty syringes.

I say this and it’s as if I’m in a bad action movie of the 90s now on the streets of big cities. Of course, you rarely see such a picture, which is very pleasing, but when I was a child, I saw something like this and it was really very disgusting.

And after all this, after all this knowledge that can be found on the Internet after spending several hours, people continue to not believe in HIV.

They continue to ignore it and not treat their children, create VKontakte groups that HIV was created artificially and that it is actually doctors who are killing us, and not some diseases. If suddenly this happens to you, of course, after the doctors, you will run to the Internet to look for a way out and a different point of view. But please don't stumble upon these groups, if you are morally weak, you will simply believe it out of desperation. After all, you will see comments from a supposed doctor who dug a little deeper and knows about the conspiracy. You have two scales: on one, mistrust, conspiracies and death, on the other, normal life. What will you choose?

Joke: AIDS is the plague of the twentieth century and the runny nose of the twenty-first.

Announcement: 80% of people infected with HIV live in Africa, but over the past 30 years the population of this continent has doubled. Is the Devil called HIV so scary and does the epidemic really exist?

For the first time, an atypical manifestation of immunodeficiency in homosexual men was described in the American journal Morbidity and Mortality Weekly in 1981. This year is the starting point in the history of HIV.

The virus itself was isolated in 1983 at the Pasteur Institute (France) and at the same time at the National Institutes of Health (USA), but it was the Frenchmen Françoise Barré-Sinoussi and Luc Montagnier who got it Nobel Prize 2008 for this discovery.

Epidemiology and pathogenesis

The human immunodeficiency virus belongs to the RNA-containing viruses of the Retrovirus genus, the Lentivirus family. There are two types of the virus: HIV-1, the main cause of the epidemic, and HIV-2, a less common variant mainly found in West Africa. Entering the human body, the viral particle detects CD4 cell receptors, attaching to which it can enter the cell.

Inside the cell, the viral RNA synthesizes DNA on itself, which is integrated into the host nucleus and exists with it until the cell dies. Viral DNA synthesizes RNA for new viral particles that infect more and more cells. CD4 receptors contain cells of the nervous and immune tissues, so it is these systems that are primarily affected by HIV.

The source of HIV-1 infection is a sick person; there is a theory that HIV-1 can infect wild chimpanzees; for HIV-2, some species of African monkeys can be the reservoir. The virus is very unstable in the external environment: it does not tolerate heating and drying, any antiseptics destroy it almost instantly. HIV is present in all body fluids: tears, breast milk, spinal fluid, saliva, rectal mucus, etc., but the largest amount is found in blood, semen and vaginal secretions.

Methods of HIV transmission

Sexual. The virus is transmitted through unprotected sexual contact. Homosexual men are at greatest risk, since their way of satisfying sexual desire is the most dangerous.

Hemocontact is also parenteral. The virus is transmitted through blood transfusions, as well as through contaminated medical instruments such as syringes, or through trauma when the blood of an infected person enters the wound of an uninfected person. The main population of people infected in this way are intravenous drug addicts. They make up 70–80% of those infected with HIV in civilized countries.

Vertical. That is, from mother to fetus. Most often, infection of a baby occurs directly during childbirth, through the mother's blood. Infection through the placenta is rare, and even more rarely the virus is transmitted through breast milk. In general, an HIV-positive mother has a 25-30% chance of having an HIV-positive baby.

HIV is not transmitted through everyday contact; kissing, handshaking and bites of blood-sucking insects are also safe.

At-risk groups

• intravenous drug users;
• persons, regardless of orientation, who use anal sex;
• recipients of blood or organs;
• medical workers;
• persons involved in the sex industry, both prostitutes and their clients.

Symptoms and stages of HIV infection

Incubation stage

From the moment of infection until the appearance of the first symptoms of HIV infection. Usually lasts from 3 weeks to 3 months, rarely can extend to 1 year. At this time, the virus is actively introduced into cells and reproduces. There are no clinical symptoms of the disease yet, the body’s immune response has not yet been observed.

Stage of primary manifestations

Active reproduction of the virus continues, but the body is already beginning to respond to the introduction of HIV. This phase lasts about 3 months. It can occur in three ways:

• Asymptomatic – there are no signs of the disease, but antibodies to HIV are detected in the blood.
• Acute HIV infection - this is where the first symptoms of HIV infection appear, accompanied by an unmotivated rise in body temperature to subfebrile levels, increased fatigue, various rashes on the skin and mucous membranes, enlarged lymph nodes (usually posterior cervical, axillary, elbow), in some people it may sore throat, diarrhea occur, the spleen and liver enlarge. Blood test - decreased lymphocytes, leukocytes, thrombocytopenia. This period lasts on average from 2 weeks to 1.5 months, then passes into the latent stage.
• Acute HIV infection with secondary diseases - sometimes in the acute phase the suppression of immunity is so strong that already at this stage HIV-associated infections may appear (pneumonia, herpes, fungal infections etc.).

Latent stage

All signs of the acute phase pass. The virus continues to destroy cells of the immune system, but their death is compensated by their increased production. Immunity fades slowly but constantly until the number of lymphocytes drops to a certain level critical level. Previously it was believed that this stage lasted about 5 years, now this period has been increased to 10 - 20 years. None clinical symptoms This stage does not have HIV infection.

Stage of secondary diseases or AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome)

The number of lymphocytes decreases so much that infections that otherwise would never have arisen begin to cling to a person. These diseases are called AIDS-associated infections:

• Kaposi's sarcoma;
• brain lymphoma;
• candidiasis of the esophagus, bronchi or lungs;
• cytomegalovirus infections;
• Pneumocystis pneumonia;
• pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis, etc.

Actually this list is long. In 1987, a WHO expert committee compiled a list of 23 diseases that are considered markers of AIDS, and the presence of the first 12 does not require immunological confirmation of the presence of the virus in the body.

Treatment of HIV infection

Modern medicine is not yet able to completely cure HIV, and a reliable vaccine has not been developed that allows specific prevention of this disease. However, the use of antiretroviral drugs can reduce the viral load in the body and prevent the disease from progressing to the AIDS stage. Treatment must continue throughout the patient's life.

The effectiveness of combination (includes 2 or more drugs with different mechanisms of action) antiretroviral therapy has been proven in two large studies: HPTN-052 and CROI-2014. Both studies involve homosexual and heterosexual couples, where one partner is infected and takes antiretroviral drugs, while the virus is not detected in his blood, and the other is healthy.

• HPTN-052 started in 2005, as of 2011 the probability of infection has decreased by 96%;
• CROI-2014 started in 2011, conducted only in the USA, 40% of couples are homosexual, 280,000 heterosexual and 164,000 homosexual unprotected sexual acts were tracked, as of February 20014. Not a single documented case of infection of a sexual partner has yet been recorded.

Both studies are not yet completed, but the preliminary results are very impressive.

Alternative point of view

Money rules the world. This postulate is obvious to everyone. All major world religions condemn acquisitiveness, but this does not save humanity. Golden Taurus dominates all spheres of human activity.

In terms of profitability, medicine is right behind the arms trade, drug trafficking, casinos and prostitution, but with much less risk. Turn on the TV, half of the commercials will sell you various pills that help “for everything.”

For example, the well-known Mitsubishi corporation produces everything from cars to fountain pens (an artist I know only uses pencils from this company). So, this company includes a division of Mitsubishi Chemical, which produces medicines. It is Mitsubishi Chemical that provides half of the income of the entire corporation. It is not cars, but pills that support the well-being of Mitsubishi management.

Modern medicine has made great progress in the fight against the most dangerous diseases. We have defeated smallpox, almost eliminated it, and we no longer die from plague and cholera. Even cancer is not as scary for modern people as it was a hundred years ago. Doctors can successfully lower blood pressure, treat heart attacks, transplant up to 60% of organs, and make prosthetics that are no worse than real limbs. In general, markets have been dismantled, areas of activity have been divided...

Beginners in the pharmaceutical business have absolutely nothing to do. Megacorporations, which are richer than oil companies, will gobble it up one or two times. But they also need to somehow increase their income.

A few more examples. Antipyretic drug Aspirin-Bayer is taken by 50 million healthy Americans, and it supposedly saves them from heart attacks. Synthetic vitamins A and E significantly increase the risk of cancer and heart attack, despite the fact that their natural analogues are absolutely harmless.

So how can we increase farm income now? companies, if everything has already been divided and the epidemics have been eliminated? We need to invent a threat. Believe me, in the history of the 20th century there were many scams that brought fabulous profits to pharmaceutical corporations. These are synthetic vitamins that are dangerous to health), some vaccines, the already mentioned Aspirin, etc. But the most ambitious hoax is, of course, the human immunodeficiency virus, also known as HIV infection.

The US government has already spent $50 billion to fight the AIDS epidemic, while effective vaccine has never been created, and antiretroviral drugs kill a person faster than HIV itself. 15–20% of the population of the poorest countries in Africa are declared to have AIDS, despite the fact that a monthly course of treatment for Africans costs at least 150 USD. for one person. In Russia and the USA, the cost of therapy can reach up to $800 per month. Do you feel the size of the profits of the pharmaceutical cartels?

The first person to question the connection between AIDS and HIV was Peter Duesberg (the famous biologist). Back in 1987 he studied the statistics on the incidence of AIDS in the USA and found out that 90% of patients are men, and 60 - 70% of them are drug addicts, and the remaining 30% are gays who actively use all kinds of aphrodisiacs and psychostimulants; blacks make up 12% of the US population, while among About 47% of them are HIV-infected.

This behavior of the virus seemed suspicious to Duesberg. Around the same time (late 1980s), the HIV/AIDS denial movement (AIDS dissidents) emerged. Its supporters (some of them world-famous scientists and even Nobel laureates) argue that there is no connection between acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and HIV. The most radical apologists of this movement deny the very fact of the discovery of the human immunodeficiency virus.

Here are some of the postulates of AIDS dissidence:

• Acquired immunodeficiency exists, but it is not caused by HIV, but by a host of other factors: intoxication, drug addiction, homosexuality, radiation, vaccinations, taking certain medications, malnutrition, pregnancy (in women who have given birth frequently), stress, etc.
• Among those infected through sexual contact, the majority are homosexual men. AIDS dissidents explain this fact by the fact that male sperm introduced in an unnatural way is a powerful immunosuppressant. By the way, the symptoms of HIV infection in women and men are absolutely identical.
• Drug addiction is very destructive to the immune system, so drug addicts die from immunodeficiency even without HIV. Drugs rapidly destroy the liver, whose functions are to neutralize toxic substances, it is involved in many types of metabolism, and if its functions are disrupted, a person can get sick and die from anything.
• In Africa, three factors are enough to make a diagnosis of AIDS: diarrhea, exhaustion, and fever. This does not require confirmation of virus detection. Millions of Africans die from malnutrition, poor sanitation, tuberculosis, herpes simplex, CMV, malaria and other “diseases of poverty” against the background of reduced immunity, but megacorporations are trying to convince us that they are dying from AIDS.
• Since the outbreak began, Africa's population has doubled. The most HIV-affected African country is Uganda, where about 20% of the population is allegedly infected with HIV, and is demonstrating constant population growth.
• There is not a single disease directly related to HIV; when a person dies from AIDS, it means that he died from tuberculosis, Pneumocystis pneumonia, Salmonella sepsis, etc.
• Duesberg himself put forward the chemical theory of AIDS; he claims that the disease is caused by drugs, as well as many drugs, including those used in the treatment of HIV, after which he became enemy No. 1 among the pharmaceutical cartels. He conducts his research with modest donations from private individuals.
• Freddie Mercury died of AIDS in 1991, after battling the disease for 3 years, he was a homosexual and a drug addict. In the same year, American basketball player Magic Johnson announced the end of his sports career due to the discovery of HIV in his blood. He is heterosexual and has not “dabbled in drugs” - he is still alive and well.
• Pharmaceutical companies are resisting in every possible way the reduction in price of their products aimed at combating HIV. The market for these drugs is estimated at $500 billion per year. GlaxoSmithKline alone earns about $160 billion annually from HIV.

What’s interesting is that supporters of the classical theory do not try to logically and reasonably refute AIDS dissidents, classifying them as sectarians, and this indirectly proves that their statements are absolutely groundless, since the viral nature of the origin of AIDS is considered proven in scientific circles.

Paradoxically, the hysteria around HIV has benefited domestic healthcare. Medical workers have become more careful about sanitary and epidemiological rules, the production of disposable consumables has increased tenfold, and their attitude towards blood has changed (it has become less frivolous).

I'll add a few words of my own. Remember the story of thirty-two people being infected with HIV in Elista in 1988; I was not too lazy to find out their fate; by 2011, half of them had died. I personally know a woman who has been HIV-positive for 12 years, has ignored antiretroviral therapy, looks quite healthy and has no plans to die yet.

My personal IMHO conclusion from the above is the following: HIV exists, but its connection with AIDS is not obvious, and this problem is overly inflated by pharmaceutical cartels for selfish purposes. Ask yourself, would you have unprotected sexual intercourse with a partner who claimed to have HIV? So I wouldn’t, it’s scary...

Before talking about myths regarding HIV infection, it is necessary to define the terms.

HIV is a human immunodeficiency virus; it belongs to the class of retroviruses. Today it is known that the HIV virus is, in fact, a group of viruses that can infect the human immune system (HIV-1 - HIV-4). Its main danger is that during its life cycle, it destroys the host’s immunity and causes diseases that are not typical for a person with normal immunity.

However, it is worth noting that in European countries there are studies indicating falsification of studies on the isolation of the AIDS virus, i.e. The AIDS virus was never actually found.

However, the disease itself, Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, still exists, i.e. something is causing it.
According to generally accepted opinion, AIDS is an acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and it is the last, terminal stage of HIV infection and is manifested by a complex of infectious, non-infectious and tumor diseases, characteristic only of people with extremely low or completely absent immunity.

Myth 1. There is no AIDS. It’s just not entirely clear whether this is really a myth. Many people believe that the AIDS virus is an invention of pharmaceutical companies to sell expensive drugs.

One of many retroviruses under an electron microscope

AIDS today is a profitable industry. Even if a cure is found, no one is interested in it.

Myth 2. “It won’t happen to me.” The basis for this myth is the history of the spread of the virus. Indeed, initially the immunodeficiency virus was transmitted among socially vulnerable groups of the population: the gay community, drug users, sex workers. And he was limited only by them.
However, since the late 90s of the 20th century, HIV has gone beyond this framework and the main route of transmission has become sexual (as opposed to the previously common injection), and among the total number of infected people there are more and more women who have never belonged to any of the vulnerable groups who became infected from their heterosexual partners.

Subject to basic moral standards, there is a very small chance of getting AIDS.

Myth 3. Routes of infection. HIV infection is often attributed to high viral activity and transmission by contact or airborne droplets.
In reality, the immunodeficiency virus can only exist in the fluids of the human body and dies immediately in an oxygen environment.

Based on this, three possible routes of HIV transmission can be distinguished:

1. Sexual. During unprotected sexual intercourse. Great amount The virus is found in male and female secretions. It is interesting to note that there is no virus at all in the seminal fluid of men. Moreover, the likelihood of a woman becoming infected from an infected partner is much higher than that of men through contact with an infected partner (due to the characteristics of the genitourinary system in men and women). Protected sexual contact using a condom is called protected sex.
2. Through blood. This is not only injections, but also any other actions with blood. For example, operations or transfusions. The largest amount of the virus is contained in the blood. But the infected person's blood must go directly into the recipient's bloodstream. Skin and mucous membranes are an insurmountable barrier to HIV. However, for some reason, even a blood transfusion from an HIV-infected person to a healthy person does not necessarily cause infection.
3. From mother to child during natural childbirth and passage of the birth canal, as well as with breast milk. Here everything is solved by caesarean section and artificial feeding. However, even if a child is conceived by an HIV-infected father, the mother and child are not always infected.

There are no other ways of contracting HIV. If the mucous membranes are not damaged, then it is impossible to become infected with HIV through kissing, hugging, sharing utensils or any other things.

Myth 4. An HIV-infected woman cannot have healthy children. They can. Knowing the routes of transmission can prevent infection of the child. In addition, during pregnancy and childbirth, HIV-positive women are prescribed special drug therapy that helps to significantly reduce the amount of virus in the blood and other fluids, which provides additional protection for the baby.

Myth 5. There is no cure for HIV. And it is true. To date, there is no medicine that completely destroys the virus or a curing carrier. However there is special complexes drugs, when taken, the amount of the virus is significantly reduced, immunity is not destroyed, life expectancy increases, and the stage of AIDS does not occur.

All these facts are important to know, not only for those who do not want to become infected with HIV, but also for relatives of those who have the immunodeficiency virus. Since HIV infection is a chronic disease, which until recently was considered fatal, accepting a diagnosis requires not only knowledge, which is much better understood by loved one, rather than from an unfamiliar doctor, but also, first of all, support from loved ones, which becomes possible only in the absence of judgment and fear of a sick loved one.

And finally, a video from the program “Gordon Quixote” with a discussion of experts that the AIDS virus may not really exist:
