You can catch HIV from eating a gorllia but not swine flu from eating pigs???

PARIS — French virologists on Sunday said they had found a new subtype of the AIDS virus that appears to have jumped the species barrier to humans from gorillas.

The new strain, found in a woman from Cameroon, West Africa, is part of the HIV-1 family of microbes that account for the vast majority of cases of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), they said.

Until now, all have been linked to the chimpanzee.

The new subtype has been called P, adding to three established HIV-1 subtypes -- M, by far the most prevalent, and O and N, which are rare.

There is also an HIV-2 which is a minority viral family and is also suspected to have origins in non-human primates.

The virus was sequenced from a blood sample taken from an unnamed 62-year-old woman who moved to Paris from Cameroon, according to a letter published by the journal Nature Medicine.

In 2004, shortly after moving to the French capital, the woman was tested for HIV. She responded to diagnostic tests for HIV-1 but further tests failed to pinpoint the viral subtype.

The virus was genetically decoded and then put through a computer model to compare its evolutionary past against known viruses, both HIV and its equivalent in apes, called simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV).

The strain was a "significant" match with SIVgor -- an immune deficiency virus found in gorillas.

"The most likely explanation for its emergence is gorilla-to-human transmission of SIVgor," the letter says.

The research was headed by Jean-Christophe Plantier at a national referencing laboratory for HIV at the Rouen Hospital Centre, northwestern France.

HIV is believed to have jumped from humans from their closest animal relatives more than a century ago, in west-central Africa.

Analysis of tissues preserved by doctors in the colonial-era Belgian Congo shows that HIV-1 began spreading among humans at some point between 1884 and 1924, according to an investigation published last October.

But until now, the known vector has been the chimpanzee.

Some experts have suspected that the gorilla may have been implicated in the N subtype, but this is the first time that a link has been so clearly defined.

"A gorilla origin is highly likely" in the new P subtype, Marie Leoz, one of the research team, told AFP.

"For the time being, it's the closest source. What is still quite difficult, though, is to date when the first transmission of the virus took place, because there are still very few gorilla strains that are available."

Leoz also said subtype P was probably rare among humans, but further work was needed to confirm this.

The Cameroonian woman has no sign of AIDS, is receiving treatment and has a stable count of viruses and of CD4 cells, a key benchmark of immune-system fitness, said Leoz.

There are several theories that seek to explain how SIV entered humans.

An infected animal bit a human, or a SIV-infected ape was butchered and sold for bushmeat, and the virus entered the bloodstream through tiny cuts in the hand, according to these hypotheses.

AIDS first came to public notice in 1981, when alert US doctors noted an unusual cluster of deaths among young homosexuals in California and New York.

It has since killed at least 25 million people, and 33 million others are living with the disease or HIV, the virus that destroys immune cells and exposes the body to opportunistic disease.



"HIV is believed to have jumped from humans from their closest animal relatives more than a century ago, in west-central Africa." First time I've heard that. I guess they'll say whatever it takes to make people stop thinking it's "man-made".

My question is

HOW IN THE HELL YOU CAN GET AIDS FROM "EATING MONKEYS IN AFRICA" (which is a lie in itself because people in Africa rarely eat meat any way let alone monkey meat) but you can't get SWINE FLU FROM EATING PIGS OR BIRD FLU FROM EATING CHICKEN?!?!?

Can you say..............BULLSHIT!!!!!!

Maybe she got it in Paris.

[JaliliJimiyu]

That's what I was thinking......and probably from the doctors

[moebigsley1976]

More like created a new strain.

[JaliliJimiyu]

EXACTLY, some one probably raped the poor woman in question

(if they didn't make her up for the story)

To cover their tracks about the fact people are starting to catch on to the truth.

[M0N3t7]

Good video, very informative of course it is bull and it just to steer our attention from the truth *smh*. I wanted to ask you have you visited AC lately?

[JaliliJimiyu]

AC.............HA!!!

On a serious note I haven't been on that site since me and Mr. D had a once and for all falling out, soon after I heard the site just fell apart.........karma I guess.

A monkey that was used as an experimnt was used sacrificed! After the experiment the scientist introduced the cells into a human subject and thats How HIV was borned! But there is a cure! But is being held as earth greatest secret because once the secret is out there goes the profits for all the big players! No more profits for the investors! No more taxes on the corporations! It's more profitable to keep people sick than healthy!

[latinogott]

In Africa in the deep jungle out in the wild there is no " FDA" Monkeys are genetically related to humans! But we are not the same! Swine Flu and HIV are tottaly diffrent types of virus! HIV is passed by Blood as to Swine Flu it can travel in the air! HIV can only live in Blood enviroment! Like You I believe HIV was created in a lab! The Virus Mutates! Mutations only occur with radiation! radiation is caused By Nuclear energy! Maybe they got a Monkey close to radiation to it's cell and human!

[YouNoop]

bullshit

[ygolo12]

HIV dies within moments after being exposed to air.

LOL@ your captions.

I bet if people were eating gorilla meat in the US as much as they eat swine, they would say "You cannot get HIV from eating gorilla meat..."

Bunch of bullshit.

Just go vegan

[ShaggyTheClown17]

I agree this is some bullshit lol

Also you would think people would have the ability to fight off these diseases n viruses by immunity, problem is either a nutrient deficiancy or chemicals that actually kill our immune system.

Anyway I'll believe swine flu is something of bigger concern when it kills more people than regular flu.
