HIV Cure “Miracle”

Thanks to Michael Hampton for pointing me to this story:

Andrew Stimpson, 25, was diagnosed HIV-positive in 2002 but was found to be negative in October 2003 by Chelsea and Westminster Healthcare NHS Trust.

Mr Stimpson, from London, said he was “one of the luckiest people alive”.

The trust said the tests were accurate but were unable to confirm Scotsman Mr Stimpson’s cure because he had declined to undergo further tests.

A statement from the trust said: “This is a rare and complex case. When we became aware of Mr Stimpson’s HIV negative test results we offered him further tests to help us investigate and find an explanation for the different results.

“So far Mr Stimpson has declined this offer.”

BBC: Caution over HIV ‘cure’ claims

This isn’t a cure. This isn’t a miracle. This is simply anecdotal evidence that HIV tests are worthless. They don’t test for HIV. They don’t test for anything known to be associated with HIV. They test for a protein thought to be associated with HIV, a virus that has never been isolated. And even then, the test for the protein is not reliable (i.e. the same person can test positive, then false, then positive). There is no standard for HIV testing because the HIV virus has never been isolated. So how do they determine efficacy of the test? By comparing results from people with AIDS to those without. Only problem is that AIDS symptoms are commonplace and multitudinous. Hell, I had AIDS symptoms earlier this week. So how do they tell if you have AIDS rather than the actual conditions that are alleged to indicate AIDS, such as a dry cough, a flu, or pneumonia? Easy… they give you an HIV test. Starting to see the problem? It is a circular definition.

They’re giving people fatally toxic drugs to combat this phantom virus, based on a test that, even according to its makers, is not a valid test for the HIV virus. Andrew Stimpson is lucky… and he’d be well advised to continue to refuse further testing. Another test just opens the possibility for a false positive, and then the doctors will start insisting that he start killing himself with AZT or some other poison.
