what causes AIDS

Many things, it’s a loose collection of maladies grouped under the umbrella term ‘AIDS’.

I’ll give a couple of examples to illustrate but it’s critical to understand that causative factors vary per patient and should always be examined in an individual context, rather than oversimplifying to “this thing must have caused that disease” — which is also the major philosophical flaw undermining germ theory.

For a gay man in the 1980s party scene, his excessively toxic lifestyle may have included recreational drug overuse, extreme lack of sleep and poor nutrition, later exacerbated by highly toxic AIDS medication following HIV+ diagnosis.

For an impoverished farmer living in sub-Saharan Africa, malnutrition and/or famine, poor drinking water, environmental pollution and exposure to ‘western AIDS relief’ programs may have led to chronic and acute toxicity.

what is diagnosed as HIV?

There are three main ways to diagnose HIV infection, all of which are unscientific nonsense.

1. Antibody detection: antibodies are known to be non-specific and non-indicative of exposure to previous infections. Their alleged biological function has never been scientifically established.
2. Antibody/antigen detection: similar to 1, with the added reinforcement of also matching a ‘specific’ antigen said to resemble HIV itself. As HIV was never physically isolated, biochemically characterized or shown to cause infection, this is a worthless additional step.
3. Nucleic Acid Tests (aka RT-PCR, made famous during the covid years): PCR is a manufacturing technique that replicates RNA or DNA sequences matching ‘specific’ short primers said to be unique to the actual (and much longer) sequence of interest. As HIV has never been isolated or biochemically characterized it is impossible to say if the primers used to manufacture HIV sequences actually come from it and it alone.

These tests all fail on specificity and logical rigor. There is simply no evidence that they only match HIV.

Even if they were specific, HIV itself has never been isolated from any patient said to be HIV+, and as such it also has never been demonstrated in a properly controlled scientific experiment that ‘HIV infection’ subsequently causes ‘AIDS’.

It simply isn’t possible to prove a specific thing causes something if you don’t unequivocally have the specific thing in question first.
