In fact, it is only after starting the medications that they begin to feel sick…” (The Toronto Star, September 24, 1999). “One of the major barriers to effectively treating HIV is that most people do not feel sick at the time that they are offered anti- HIV medications.
Yes, but treatment does improve quality of life: Donald Abrams, MD, Director of AIDS Program, San Francisco General Hospital (“Lecture to Medical Students,” Synapse, 1996) They’ve watched all of their friends go on the anti-viral bandwagon and die.” – Dr. “I have a large population of people who have chosen not to take any anti-retrovirals. This suggests that AIDS drugs themselves might cause illness – it also implies that you can recover without the life-saving drug cocktail, which is of course, nonsense. He is no longer taking antiretroviral drugs” (British Medical Journal, January 2001 322) The report notes: “The patient made an uneventful recovery with conservative treatment. The doctors, perhaps not familiar with the benefits of treatment, or unaware that they had a supervirus on their hands, made an unusual choice. He was receiving no other treatment…The patient began to experience malaise and pain in the upper abdomen…The symptoms worsened, and three weeks later he was admitted to hospital with severe pain, vomiting, fever, tenderness of the upper abdomen.” A 2001 case study in the British Medical Journal tells the story of a “26 year old man who was HIV positive started taking stavudine, didanosine and nevirapine …. That said, a similar case does appear in the medical record. Clearly the AIDS drugs, which were supposed to cure his infection, weren’t able to, thus allowing the virus to make him very ill.Ī New York City health official told the Times that it was the “first time” this had ever happened. What made this man’s HIV different? Simple – he took lots of pharmaceuticals and got sick anyway. The carrier was a New York City man in his mid-40’s who “engaged in unprotected anal sex with multiple partners…hundreds of men… in recent weeks while using crystal methamphetamine.” that is highly resistant to virtually all anti-retroviral drugs and appears to lead to the rapid onset of AIDS was detected…” On February 12, The New York Times announced that “a rare strain of H.I.V. First there was the Nevirapine scandal at the NIH, then the FDA falls apart over prescription drugs, and now, with a bang, AIDS 2.0 has arrived in NYC. The last few months have been exciting for the medical industry.
Published at GNN, and Tutto in Vendita, 2005 You can tell who’s going to be HIV positive – just by looking at them. Clearly, what the CDC says, at least on one topic, is incorrect. Scientists have a special kind of wisdom, I suppose.
The clinician’s opinion of what the test should be is considerably more important than test result itself: “Checking that the final result is not at odds with patients’ clinical and behavioural characteristics is a key element.” (ibid)īut how did they know that the first test was a “false reaction?” How do they minimize false positives? They use less sensitive tests, or interpret them differently.
