"When his hiv test came back positive, it was an emotional shock. But despite the life-altering nature of the news, Jeff didn't wait long to begin preparing himself for the critical choices he'd have to make. "I didn't seek out the facts earlier, or I might not have been in that position," he says of his previous state of denial about HIV "Now that I was HIV positive, though, having good information was crucial for protecting my own health and that of others, so I made sure I had a lot of information." He began to research HIV." - Rick Foster, Greg Hicks, M.D., Jen Seda, Choosing Brilliant Health: 9 Choices That Redefine What It Takes to Create Lifelong Vitality and Well-Being (Get the book.)

"Congressional bills prohibited discrimination against individuals with HIV or AIDS, but confidentiality of hiv test results has never been completely assured by government proposals (Kayal, 1993: 88). AIDS increased the medical surveillance of gay behavior and promoted the renewed stigmatization of homosexuality but did not medicalize homosexuality more generally. This was in large part due the strength of gay activism." - Peter Conrad, The Medicalization of Society: On the Transformation of Human Conditions into Treatable Disorders (Get the book.)

"How many "potential nonspecific reactions" could there be to influence the outcome of an hiv test? Moreover, why is the WHO proclaiming that there are nearly 40 million people infected with HIV when this worldwide organization knows so well that the tests used cannot be used to make such claims? The AIDS tests are used to create statistics of an epidemic that has no scientific backing, but is blindly accepted as true by innocent people who have no reason to believe they are being deceived over something like a deadly disease." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.) "The most frequently used hiv test used today is ELISA and, in theory, it seems to be accurate. A sample of the patient's blood is added to a mixture of HIV proteins. If the blood contains HIV antibodies, they react to the proteins. This is supposed to be proof that the patient has been infected with HIV. Another test called WESTERN BLOT is often used as a confirmation. Besides being unable to detect actual virus in the blood of a patient, these tests are so unreliable that they are not only useless, but also the cause of unprecedented trauma and suffering in the world." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.) "Since AIDS patients who test HIV positive have been infected many years before they die, their HIV retrovirus remains inactive. An hiv test can only detect either the dormant, inactive virus or antibodies that the immune system produces to remain immune to the virus in the future. Therefore, the HIV-test itself proves the harmlessness of HIV. Although it is rarely mentioned in the medical literature, HIV has never been found in the lymph nodes, macrophage cells, dendritic cells, and elsewhere in the body of an AIDS victim; there has never been even a sign of a hidden virus infection." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.) "The lack of hiv test equipment in most parts of Africa compels doctors to diagnose prospective AIDS patients merely by symptoms, a very unreliable and unscientific practice. Yet the numbers of these cases are added to the overall "statistical evidence" that AIDS is still continuing to spread. The soaring AIDS epidemic is a product of mass deception based on faulty science, unreliable AIDS tests, and a greedy pharmaceutical industry that does everything in its power to have unrestricted access to the mostly untapped profit potential of Third World populations." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"However, a confirmed positive hiv test result is often the earliest indication that the person may 1 A 1 eventually develop AIDS. The medical criteria for a diagnosis of full-blown AIDS are quite specific, requiring the presence of one or more opportunistic infections or cancers known to be associated with HIV infection. According to the CDC, these include: • Pneumoncystis carinii pneumonia. • Candidal esophagitis, esophagitis from herpes simplex or cytomegalo virus. • Cryptosporidiosis of the intestine for more than four weeks. • Primary lymphoma of the central nervous system." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 4th Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements (Get the book.) "Beware of fraudulent or unproven home hiv test kits. Doctors say if a kit claims to provide "instant" test results through a visual indicator such as a colored dot on a piece of paper after saliva has been applied, the outcome may be unreliable. If you believe you have used a questionable test kit, contact your doctor for another test or use the approved test kit. Further, testing HIV-positive does not mean that one has AIDS. Rather, it means that one has been exposed to HIV, as demonstrated by the presence in the blood of antibodies to the virus." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 4th Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements (Get the book.) "Government research shows a rapid hiv test can be used on women during childbirth. An estimated 700,000 children worldwide developed HIV infections last year, most in Africa and from mother-to-child transmission during childbirth or early infancy. Doctors hope that the rapid test will help to reduce HIV infections in newborns. Many people who are infected with HIV are not even aware that they have it. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has estimated that one-quarter of the approximately 950,000 HIV-infected people in the United States are not aware that they are infected." - Phyllis A.

"About nine thousand San Franciscans got an hiv test in a city clinic every year and McFarland's colleagues in neighboring Alameda, Marin, and San Mateo counties had also been administering limited numbers of detuned ELISAs in cooperative studies in 1999. What they found, McFarland said, "blew our minds." Despite several thousand HIV tests, not a single woman turned up positive for recent acquisition of HIV. Not one. None of Northern California's injecting drug users who were tested turned up positive for recent infection except those who were gay." - Laurie Garrett, Betrayal of Trust: The Collapse of Global Public Health (Get the book.)

"Jonathan's HIV tests were negative, so he doubted that was the problem (although there is about a six-month lag time between infection and the hiv test turning positive, theit sexual practices were low tisk). It seemed to me that the combined stress of his intense job, eating for his very sick partner, and his growing sense of impending loss were suppressing his immune system. This was tough to address since he was dependent on his high-income job and deeply committed to his pattner. Togethet, we worked out a program for him." - Joseph Nd Pizzorno, Total Wellness: Improve Your Health by Understanding and Cooperating with Your Body's Natural Healing Systems (Get the book.)

"Diagnosis of AIDS depends on meeting certain criteria, such as positive hiv test plus a total helper lymphocyte (an important white blood cell) count (CD4 count) of less than 200 cells per microliter, or a percentage of helper cells to total lymphocytes (CD8 count) of less than 14 percent. Signs and Symptoms The spectrum of HIV infection ranges from a person with a positive test for HIV without any signs of immune deficiency to a person with full-blown AIDS." - Michael Murray, N.D. and Joseph Pizzorno, N.D., The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods (Get the book.)
