Darling, all that happens (without the AZT) and people do not get
AIDS. It just doesn't happen. If that were the case, I'd've died of
AIDS ages ago. And so would lots of my straight friends.

By contrast, I've had friends who did NOT do any or much of that and
they did develop AIDS. Too many of those friends died.

Now, many of my friends have been staying alive a LOT longer than
people were in the 80s. And sometimes they take AZT, sometimes not. If
they take ARV, it's a combination of drugs that should kill people
immediately, according to this brain dead hypothesis.

Some of my friends still do not take ARV. One woman I know has managed
to hold off on ARV for years. Another for well over a decade. Mostly,
these are people who take good care of their health, exercise, use
micronutrients and botanicals, stress reduction. That may be
"selection bias" so I can't say that those are the absolute certain
reasons they have been able to avoid ARV--but I am pretty confident it
helps.

But even they are seeing their CD4 counts decline, albeit much more
slowly. They have other health problems that arise as a result of the
HIV infection--and then the other stuff that humans face aside from
HIV.

But your vast experiment has been done. And it is STILL being done.
Alcohol is a lot more debilitating, and college kids have been
swallowing HUGE amounts. They do drugs of all kinsds. Speed is popular
among young people (and some older ones). It is horrifically
physically debilitating. Heroin still has its adherents. Then there's
all the "new" drugs like ecstasy (I know, it ain't new), special
K...and an increased popularity of prescription meds (e.g.,
oxycodone).

People do LOTS of drugs. Sometimes they die as a result--directly from
overdoses, indirectly from car accidents probably most typically.

But they don't develop AIDS.

Well if this was Nazi Germany in the 1930's you might be able to round up a
bunch of political criminals and run your so called experiment. But do you
honestly think if you presented your study to the potential participants in
the manner you describe it bellow that you would find a single individual
willing to enroll in the study?

Of course your ignorance is showing yet again, back in the 1980's and early
1990's studies were done that examined the medical records of thousands of
AIDS patients going back as far as the they could find records. Guess what
they did not show any of the factors you list bellow in any kind of
statistically significant number. Gay men with AIDS did not have medical
histories of Antibiotic, or coritcosteriod use above the national average.
Popper use was studied intensely and before the ban of real nitrate inhalers
in the 1990's there was an even wider base of data on the effects of long
term nitrate inhaler use because it was and is commonly prescribed to Hart
patients who used it in very high quantities and who never got AIDS.

As to you claims about a bad diet somehow being able to cause AIDS how do
you explain the simple fact that that has never been seen in hunger strike
participants, modern eating disorder patients or famine victims.

Your arguments have been so thoroughly debunked over the last 20 years even
you must realize that simple fact, and simply choose to ignore it because
your thinking is so totally based on faith and emotion as to make pesky
evidence to the contrary totally irrelevant to your thought processes.
