HIV+ and HIV- Couples

[linus1]

You could not be more wrong about HIV and weight loss.
In Africa, AIDS is known as "slim's disease" (translated into English). In the total absence of AZT (or any other retroviral therapy) and without cocaine or other drug abuse (ever notice the kids with AIDS in Africa? Not a lot of cocaine abuse there), weight loss is MASSIVE.

While other cofactors may play a role, the fact that retroviral Rx's have taken many people from a near-death status to relative health cannot be devalued.

Antiretroviral drugs and protease inhibitors, in general, are keeping people alive. Only fringe thinkers believe otherwise. Additionally, notice how such fringe thinkers have NEVER come up with a single medical therapy for AIDS (with the exception of common-sense admonition against illicit drug abuse.)

I write this as an HIV negative health care professional, with NO pharmaceutical company ties or other financial interests.

How do you explain people that have AIDS with no HIV Alan?

Ever heard of idiopathic t-cell lymphocytopenia?

For the record, Luc Montegnier has never really claimed HIV is the sole cause of AIDS. He has always said that there must be cofactors. Look up some of Gallo's comments towards Montegnier about this sometime.
Monegnier even said after "Roman Effort" they could not isolate/purify this so called HIV thing. Gallo said something to respond to Montegnier's multifactoral comment like "he is a multifactoral idiot". Then later in the same interview Gallo himself states there may be other contributing factors......

As for someone's body becoming weaker perhaps we should look at why their body is becoming weaker.

Even if HIV is proven to exist and to cause the depletion of CD-4 cells how does it cause massive weight loss? It doesn't. What does cause massive weight loss is malnutrition, cocaine and other rec drug abuse, and especially antiviral therapy in the form of a chemotherapeutic drug called AZT.

AZT is a dna chain terminator-any cell that is involved in DNA synthesis that is in the presence of AZT will be killed, point blank. AZT has an affinity for cells that engage in DNA most often-being cells of the bone marrow and the digestive tract.
WOuld you like to know what is causing the weight loss? AZT destroys the digestive system and if one can not properly digest food, well they will lose alot of weight.

As for using testosterone and growth hormones, and anti estrogens-I am all for that, even if I was not into the BBing lifestyle I would use such products. I sincerely believe these products extend life and improve the quality of life as we age. I am sure Einstien will agree with that as I have read many of the articles he has posted at his home board-especially about GH.

I agree Alan, something needs to be done for PWA's. However, we need to identify the real cause of AIDS. HIV is just a red herring.

Just curious how many Mixed Status couples are on this board. I am currently dating a Man who is Positive and im Negative. He is the raddest and most wonderful man i have ever meet. We have Protected Sex. His status to me means nothing. He is perfectly healthy and has been positive for 2 years and is undetectable. I put myself in his shoes and i think what would it be like if i was positive and he was negative, and my conclusion is that i would want him to love me the same way i love him. Best wishes to all.

Thank you. I agree 1000 % it is all about love. With enough love, ANYTHING is possible.

Hello

We are a HIV+/HIV- couple, been that way for the last 11yrs. It is just business as usual.

What I have found an intrest in this board that is the testosterone(sp) replacement therapy for positive people.

There is a lot of info to digest from here...... anyways Hi to ya's
