That's the best you can manage?

I can hear the frothing in your mind, little mind. The anger that
wells up in you, impotent as it is wrapped in your cowardice and hate.

Abstract

Objective: To investigate the hypothesis that high usage of clotting
factor concentrate, rather than HIV infection, is the cause of
immunodeficiency and AIDS in men with haemophilia.

Design: A comparison of AIDS defining conditions and CD4 counts in HIV
positive and HIV negative patients with haemophilia matched for usage
of clotting factor concentrate.
Setting: A comprehensive care haemophilia centre.

Subjects: 17 HIV positive and 17 HIV negative male patients with
haemophilia A (age range 12-60 at beginning of study period) who had
received similar amounts of clotting factor concentrate yearly over
the years 1980-90.

Main outcome measures: Clinical events listed as AIDS defining in the
Centers for Disease Control AIDS definition; CD4 lymphocyte counts;
death.

Results: Of 108 HIV positive male patients with haemophilia A, only 17
could be matched to an HIV negative patient. This was due to the much
higher average usage of factor VIII in the HIV positive group. Between
1980 and 1990, 16 clinical events occurred in nine of the 17 HIV
positive patients. No event occurred in the 17 HIV negative patients.
In each pair the mean CD4 count during follow up was, on average,
0.5x109/l lower in the HIV positive patient.

Conclusion: These data reject the hypothesis that high usage of
clotting factor concentrate, rather than HIV infection, is the cause
of immunodeficiency and AIDS in men with haemophilia.

You know, it hardly matters if they click on the link I offered or
not. The HIV+ denialists will most likely die of AIDS.

The HIV- denialists will continue to ignore the data and construct
their own fantasies.

And you will roil in your pathetic hate, wasting the mystery of life
in something even more vile than ignorance.
