Hi

I called about the results of my AIDS test and they told me they
couldnt give me the information over the phone.

I read this means I have AIDS... Thats true huh?  Also, it was supposed
to arrive by mail and didn't.  The AIDS assocation said that was bad
news....

Thanks

Tom

They really don't give test results out over the telephone, no matter
what the results.  They must inform you in person so someone can
"counsel" you and charge the government for that service.  If you
test HIV- they lecture you to use condoms and if you test HIV+ they
lecture you to use condoms, and the government pays them $1500 for
giving you that essential advice.  Telephone counseling and mailed
test results aren't paid for, so that is why they insist on informing
you in person.  They also oppose do-it-yourself home HIV test kits
for that same reason, because it cuts them out of the loop and all
the otherwise useless counselors would be out of jobs.

First of all, being HIV+ doesn't mean at all that you have AIDS. It just means, at least,
that's the official version, that you reacted positively to a test for antibodies your
body created to fight against HIV.

Normally the presence of antibodies is a very good sign and means that the organism has
defences against the disease related to the antibodies. That is by the way exactly why
people are vaccinated, i.e. to create antibodies.

But with HIV ads AIDS it's all the other way around. They tell us. And HIV-Antibodies are
a bad sign. They say.

I think it's all bloody nonsense and I suggest you have a thorough look at what others
think about the HIV=AIDS equation. You can start here:

And this is ALWAYS the case in every disease that the presence of
antibodies indicates clearance of a disease?

Please! Do tell. Most fascinating. All eyes and ears and just can't
wait to see your evidence for this remarkable assertion!

You don't know this, Georgie???
But if you don't know this basic knowledge, then, what do you know?
I learned this when I was six or seven years old I guess.

Anyway, now it's my turn to give you a reference. How many do want? 10 ?  
100? 1000? 100000?

Type into GOOGLE something like: vaccination antibodies stimulation

Result: 869000 references found

Here's one from:
http://www.bookrags.com/sciences/biology/immune-stimulation-as-a-vaccine-wmi.html

Conventionally, the immune system is stimulated into producing antibodies  
or other infection-fighting constituents in response to an infection.  
Immune stimulation seeks to elicit the immune reaction before infection or  
other malady strikes, as a means of preventing the infection or malady.  
This approach is analogous to the administration of components of weakened  
or inactive influenza virus to protect people from the subsequent onset of  
influenza.

No, I do not.

LOL...I'll bet you learned lots about the tooth fairy too.

>Anyway, now it's my turn to give you a reference. How many do want? 10 ?

As many as you like, dearie.

Wow--wait...that's what you're using as evidence?

I think it's easier to show that the development of antibodies does
not always mean either a) prevention from infection as in the case of
those generated by vaccines or b) that in response to an infection,
that the infection is cleared.

>Here's one from:
>http://www.bookrags.com/sciences/biology/immune-stimulation-as-a-vaccine-wmi.html

Lovely and pretty basic backgrounder that doesn't dispute the notion
above. They also note that "Defense against intracellular infections,
which are caused by bacteria invading host cells, requires the
stimulation of other immune components, such as phagocytic cells."

So what?

>Conventionally, the immune system is stimulated into producing antibodies  
>or other infection-fighting constituents in response to an infection.  

That's one aspect of immune response, yep. Like what happens when a
person is exposed to HIV and an infection sets in.

>Immune stimulation seeks to elicit the immune reaction before infection or  
>other malady strikes, as a means of preventing the infection or malady.  

That's the idea, dearie, sweetie, dumbass.

>This approach is analogous to the administration of components of weakened

It's called "vaccination." Works great for a number of diseases,
modestly well for others while a good collection of infections have no
vaccine.

...wait...that's it?????

Wow. That was pathetic. See--if you didn't try to pass yourself off as
some kind of expert, I'd be more forgiving. But you supposedly taught
people--what a horrid idea. So I find you really noisome and have
little sympathy for you when you spatter this kind of pointless crap
that does not support your idiotic assertions.

You are really incredible, George. You know, Aids and HIV, I don't really bother anymore
and if you want to believe the nonsense, you're free to do so as is everybody else.

What I find most fascinating though is the way people like yourself behave when they
discuss with people who do not agree, especially their inifnite creativity to develop
arguments that are, objectively spoken, absolutely bullshit.

In my previous posts I wrote basically that:
A) Since Louis Pasteur it is said that antibodies are a sign that a person's inmunity
system knows
how to handle the disease related to the antibodies.
B) It may be useful to vaccinate a person who does not dispose of antibodies so he or her
will develop them and in doing so increase the person's defences

C) With HIV it's the other way around: The more HIV Antibodies one has, the worse it is.
Elisa and Western Blot are designed to detect the presence of antibodies.

HIV puts things upside down. Which in itself is amazing. But why do you have to make an
a.s of yourself in attacking me on this?

I'd rather not believe in it. But it is a grim reality.

Do tell, sweetums. Please be as specific as you can manage, dearie.

"It is said" you say. By whom? I had asked you a rather specific
question:

>> >> And this is ALWAYS the case in every disease that the presence of
>> >> antibodies indicates clearance of a disease?

You avoided it. That's what a denialist does.

>B) It may be useful to vaccinate a person who does not dispose of antibodies so he or her
>will develop them and in doing so increase the person's defences

The syntax is fairly dense but I gather you're saying that you believe
vaccines sometimes work, yes? Well, golly gosh gee--there are some
matters upon which we agree.

>C) With HIV it's the other way around: The more HIV Antibodies one has, the worse it is.
>Elisa and Western Blot are designed to detect the presence of antibodies.

LOL...no, there are no data that I am aware of that say the "more
antibodies" is worse. What do you mean by that? Where is that stated?

>HIV puts things upside down. Which in itself is amazing. But why do you have to make an
>a.s of yourself in attacking me on this?

HIV puts nothing upside down. It is merely, like a variety of
infectious diseases, capable of eliciting an antibody response that
unfortunately does NOT result in "sterilizing immunity." Which is to
say, antibodies are there but so are the HIV antigens
that...gosh...generate antibodies.

Do you think that is unusual? Based on what?

Knock yourself out, kiddo. Show me the data.
