Antibodies to the HIV virus can be detected by a screening test called an ELISA. The ELISA test is repeated if positive.

Intradermal administration of antigens is expected to facilitate their exposure to antigen-presenting cells, such as macrophages and dendritic cells, which are present at higher levels in skin than in muscle.1 Therefore, as compared with intramuscular vaccination, intradermal vaccination may induce similar serum antibody responses with a smaller quantity of antigen. The intradermal route has been evaluated for influenza, rabies, and hepatitis B virus vaccines. 2,3,4,5 Brown et al. found that the intradermal administration of one fifth of the standard dose of A/Swine/NJ/76 influenza vaccine produced antibody titers similar to those elicited by the standard intramuscular dose in healthy adults and resulted in fewer systemic reactions.6 We evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of the intradermal injection of a candidate influenza vaccine containing 6 µg of hemagglutinin antigen per strain in two groups of adults, one 18 to 60 years of age and the other over 60 years of age. A U.S.-licensed influenza vaccine administered intramuscularly at the standard dose was used as the reference vaccine.

So.....
If you have HIV antibodies, you are a pervert, you have AIDS and will die a miserable death.
If you have influenza antibodies, that is a sign of immunity conferred by a vaccination, given by a health professional, and you will live a healthy life.

During acute HIV infection, prior to the appearance of antibody (window period or pre-seroconversion), HIV infection can be confirmed only by the demonstration of circulating p24 antigen, or by the presence of viral RNA or DNA. Although highly sensitive antibody assays exist to detect very low levels of HIV antibody in blood, the window period prior to appearance of antibody rarely can be shortened to less than 3 weeks. Once antibody has appeared, titers progressively increase during 3-5 months until levels peak, at which time they remain fairly constant throughout the remainder of infection. Also, antibodies during early infection usually are of low avidity, but avidity increases as infection progresses. Therefore, HIV infection can be divided into categories of recent or established infection, depending on the quantity of antibody present or their avidities. These parameters can be exploited as tools in order to estimate the relative time that HIV infection occurred. For example, if antibody titers or antibody avidity is low, it is likely that infection occurred within the past 4 months; conversely, high-titer or high- avidity antibodies signal an established infection that has been present for longer than 4 months. Several epidemiological studies have used the S/LS testing strategy to predict incidence in San Francisco and in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.(6-8)

This is ludicrous. "Viral RNA" is smaller than the virus itself, but no matter what has been tried, there has never been more than a couple of particles found (which can be found in other conditions as well), and they don't even have the characteristics ascribed to "HIV" in the textbooks. Do you realize this is a total phantom "disease," in terms of it being caused by a "germ?" It's like saying that a bunch of people are inside an apartment building busy doing different tasks, but whenever you lift the roof off (as in a child's play house), all you find are things like teeth and fingernails. In this case, these pieces of protein or genetic material are not specific to any virus, let alone "HIV," whatever that is supposed to be at any given time.

If you have antibodies to any virus, that means that the body has been exposed to either the virus or a protein that is present on the virus. In the case of HIV, anitbodies against HIV usually indicates infection.
People who have HIV often live many years without advancing to AIDS. And many people who have HIV infection are kids, were raped or got it through adult heterosexual behavior. Having HIV doesn't make one a pervert. Some people even got it from blood transfusions (very rare now). Having HIV doesn't necessarily mean a miserable death.
Influenza antibodies indicate that the body has been exposed to the viruses that cause influenza. This can be from vacciantion or from infection. Having antibodies doesn't mean that one will have a healthy life. It may indicate that one is immune from influenza or may be related to an impending death from respiratory arrest.
Have a lovely day.

The comments on pervert and dieing a miserable death, etc, weren't the main points. I was being sarcastic. But your comments about rape and blood transfusions, etc, were pretty funny, especially since you were serious about it.
The point was: Why is it that if you have HIV antibodies, you are considered infected and potentially diseased and when you have influenza antibodies you are considered immunized and in a strong position health-wise?
Here is another question. HIV is transmissible by blood products after the blood products have been chilled, separated, frozen, thawed, etc. and eventually, sometimes months later, introduced into a foreign live immune system. Then HIV survives the new hosts inherent immune response. But HIV can't be isolated because the virus can't survive the simple isolation and filtration process intact. And HIV is so delicate that it is almost impossible to grow in vitro.
How can such a delicate retrovirus that can't survive in vitro, or thru the simple process of isolation, survive to infect thru the gruelling blood product processing process?

People who are more likely to have immune system problems are those who do have a lot of antibodies. The test are non-specific, so that "positive" results make sense, but not for the phantom "HIV." Such people have exposed themselves to many foreign antigens and also oxidized "normal" molecules that are then attacked (and antibodies creatted), leading to the characteristic Th1 to Th2 shift very common in "AIDS" patients.

if you want to see "HIV" evidence analysis. You can also ask questions on the forum there. People like Mr. Carter don't seem to realize that the person making the claim must put forth a formal hypothesis and then follow the scientific method. I can "cure" "HIV/ AIDS" if give the opportunity, and I would be willing to put up a substantial amount of money, but "the other side" would have to put up the same amount, and the "loser" would have to give that money to the other person, minus expenses. The expenses would come from finding "HIV infected," but otherwise healthy volunteers, and then having them follow my protocols, with strict supervision to make sure that they are not exposing themselves to stressors that do cause serious immune system problems. Of course, the "HIV" advocate would have to claim exactly what is supposed to happen to an "HIV infected" person who is apparently in great health and who did not take the "AIDS cocktail medication." Otherwise, it woiuld be impossible to use the scientific method, because there would be no way to know what the effect that "HIV" supposedly causes (in the absence of the "medicines") is, and thus no way to judge the experiment. Once you take the ability of these people to play their shell games away from them, they scamper off like frightened rabbits, and I know how to do exactly that. In fact, I has offered to become "HIV infected" with the "infectious molecular clone" for years now, if they pay me the full retail cost of thte "AIDS cocktail drug." If I die of "AIDS" within 12 years or so (whatever their most recent claim is), I will give them all my money, but if not, they keep paying me that amount for the rest of my life. Of course, none of these people have any interest in this offer, even though they criticize Peter Duesberg for not doing this (minus the money aspect)! They are laughable, scientifically, but they do kill people, because the "virus" nonsense has led them to give highly toxic "medicines" instead of just telling people to avoid the stressors that actually can compromise the immune system.
One thing you might hear is, "I can understand why IV drug users and gay guys who took poppers and all kinds of other things go AIDS, but what about the hemophiliacs?"
Just one study is needed to make it clear, though these patients are usually in poor health, compared to "normal" controls:
QUOTE: Inhibitor antibodies directed against factor VIII or factor IX present challenges to the clinician. Fortunately, several management options are available, although each has disadvantages as well as advantages. Alloantibodies against factor VIII (which develop in 25 to 50% of children with severe hemophilia A, as well as in a small percentage of children with mild or moderate hemophilia A) may be low titer and transient or may be high titer. Most patients with high- titer problematic inhibitors now try to eliminate the inhibitor by using one of several immune tolerance induction (ITI) regimens. For treatment of bleeding episodes in patients who have high-titer (≥ 5 Bethesda units) inhibitors, one can use a prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC) (preferably an activated PCC [APCC]), recombinant (r) factor VIIa, or porcine factor VIII. The choice of product is generally dependent on the type and severity of the patient's bleeding, degree of cross-reactivity of the patient's inhibitor with porcine factor VIII, physician familiarity with the product, product availability, and cost. In persons with hemophilia B, alloantibodies occur in only 1 to 3% of severely affected individuals. However, in roughly half of those who develop inhibitors, anaphylaxis or severe allergic reactions occur on infusion of any type of factor IX- containing product. This phenomenon usually develops after relatively few exposures to factor IX; thus it is recommended that the first 10 to 20 infusions of factor IX given to children with severe hemophilia B be given in a setting equipped for treatment of shock. For treatment of bleeding episodes in patients with severe allergic reactions, rF VIIa is the treatment of choice. ITI has been less successful in hemophilia B patients with inhibitors than in those with hemophilia A, and in a subgroup of patients with severe allergic reactions who were desensitized to factor IX and then tried on ITI, results were even poorer. Additionally, several developed nephrotic syndrome while on ITI. For hemophilia B patients with inhibitors who do not have allergic reactions to factor IX, bleeding episodes can be treated with PCC or APCC or with rF VIIa. Autoantibodies directed against factor VIII are rare but can occur in a variety of settings. They occur mainly in adults, and bleeding is often severe and life threatening. Although some factor VIII autoantibodies disappear spontaneously, most require immunosuppression. Corticosteroids and cyclophosphamide are generally recommended. For treatment of bleeding, therapeutic options include (human) factor VIII concentrates, porcine factor VIII, APCC, and rFVIIa. The choice of product is generally determined by the consulting hematologist's familiarity with the product, product availability and cost, as well as response to treatment. UNQUOTE.

These claims have been refuted or at least placed in a proper context. SOME infectious diseases can cause a false antibody test in SOME small percent of cases. This does not invalidate the HIV antibody test--it merely indicates a limitation which is quite well characterized, your conspiracy crazy nonsense notwithstanding.

>The point was: Why is it that if you have HIV antibodies, you are >considered infected and potentially diseased and when you have >influenza antibodies you are considered immunized and in a strong >position health-wise? Then your point reveals significant ignorance of immunology. When our bodies face a disease or infection, several systems kick in. The innate immune response followed sometimes by the specific cellular and humoral (antibody) generating responses. With good luck, they work to eliminate or at least contain the infection.
Some infections don't work like that. An antibody response does not guarantee infection is resolved.

HIV in plasma or serum as infected cells can survive quite nicely.
>How can such a delicate retrovirus that can't survive in vitro, or >thru the simple process of isolation, survive to infect thru the >gruelling blood product processing process? Because it has ways of "wearing coats" to protect itself, like a lymphocyte or dendritic cell. Cell-free virus doesn't survive as well.

Wrong. Numerous infections may elicit an antibody response that is ineffective in clearing that infection. In the case of an acute infection, this can result in massive inflammatory responses and death.
In the case of HIV, like hepatitis B, hepatitis C, TB and other infections, the antibody response does not control the infection. The body mounts a response that can be deleterious.
In the case of HIV, this response results in a chronic, sustained decline of CD+ T cells. This is AIDS.
And I have watched WAY too many friends die of AIDS.
You have NO f.cking idea what you're babbling about with this bullshit.

A vaccine that is EFFECTIVE stimulates immunity so that the presence of the actual infecting agent is thwarted before it gets a start. Undoubtedly, there is more to effective vaccination than a humoral response and cell-mediated immune responses are also key.

Hepatitis B infection can be cleared. When it isn't cleared, it becomes chronic hepatitis B. Infection results in chronic hepatitis B in 90% of kids who get it at birth and 6% of people over 5. Hepatitis C results in chronic infection about 3/4 of the time (CDC says 55%-85%).
> In the case of HIV, this response results in a chronic, sustained > decline of CD+ T cells. This is AIDS. Not necessarily. There are rare cases of HIV infection where the body is able to beat it. With proper treatment, people are able to have 10+ disease free years.
AIDS is an HIV infection that has advanced. If someone has a CD4 count of 200 or less or one of 26 conditions along with HIV infection, then he or she has AIDS.

Also an important point--long term non-progressors who maintain high CD4 counts and low viral loads I think constitute about ONLY 6-8% of HIV infected individuals. That's one of the things that makes it so horrifying; even Ebola doesn't kill that many (though it does it so much faster).

That should be a hint. A big f.cking hint at that.
First they said that once you get the virus, you will be develop AIDS symptoms within months. Then AIDS symptoms failed to occur for some time for many HIV positive people.
So how do you explain away a virus that does not lead to the symptoms of disease as predicted by basic virological principals? You come up with a term that is completely new and unheard of in the field of virology: "non-progressors".
First the latency period, ie. the period between infection of HIV and the appearance of visible signs of disease, was measured in months. Then, when non-progressors appeared, the latency period was extended to years instead of months. Then more longer-term "non-progessors" appeared. The latency period was extended to a decade and a half. Now the latency period is in the single to multiple DECADES range.
In fact many of these non-progressors failed to progress to AIDS until they started taking drugs like AZT. Then they quickly succeeded in progressing to the AIDS symptoms that were predicted in the first place.
Hey. When you test positive for a virus that is supposed to cause a disease, it should cause the disease in all cases. And if you develop the disease without the virus that is supposed to cause the disease, then there is a problem with the theory of the cause of the disease.
It is simple. All HIV positive should develop the disease. All without HIV should not develop the disease. That is the way this is supposed to work by definition. The Human immunodeficiency virus should cause the disease in all cases and the disease cannot manifest itself without the Human immunodeficiency virus. But we all know that that is not the case.
Either the virus does not cause the disease or the tests are wrong in many cases. Which is it? Is it the tests or the theory?

People with HIV infection can be very rapid progressors (within a year or two of infection) or long term slow or possibly non-progressors. Most folks though, wind up with AIDS within 6-10 years.

That is a lot of "non-progressing" if you ask me. You are conflating numerous issues. The first issue is the time from HIV infection to the development of AIDS. Within a few years of the discovery of people living with AIDS, the hospitals saw the sickest people. These are NOT long term non-progressors.
Since the late 80s, it has been widely recognized that the time from HIV infection to AIDS is on average about 8-10 years. That is, the VAST majority (probably 90-94%) of infected individuals will develop AIDS.
As with any disease, some people are resistant and may have normal lifespans despite HIV infection. The horrifying thing is how tiny the percent is that have this course. Those few are long term nonprogressors.

As to many without HIV show symptoms? Nonsense. Show me people who have a persistent, chronic decline of CD4 counts. Show me people that get PCP routinely who previously had been a normal setting.
I have worked with people with HIV for nearly two decades. I have known hundreds of people who have been through this and are living through it. It is horrible. Don't believe me? Get infected, by all means. Find out for yourself.
Certainly, some infections HIV-negative are also prone to (unlike PCP). TB is one. But the outcome with HIV disease and TB is a much more serious clinical course than with TB alone and a higher fatality rate among those with HIV and TB.
No, all the arguments you guys make are just nonsense. Drugs? Drugs don't cause AIDS. They can certainly kill you or make you sick--but they do NOT cause CD4 counts to plummet to zero.

By the way--there are now over 20 drugs approved for treating HIV. People on them for the most part see substantial increases in CD4 count and health improve. I have WATCHED this happen from the US to Kathmandu.
Antiretrovirals do NOT cause AIDS. That's the most pathetic, lame demonstrably false line of crap.
