Is the "AIDS Test" Accurate?

Many people are surprised to learn that there is no such thing as a test for AIDS. The tests popularly referred to as "AIDS tests" do not identify or diagnose AIDS and cannot detect HIV, the virus claimed to cause AIDS. The ELISA and Western Blot tests commonly used to diagnose HIV infection detect only interactions between proteins and antibodies thought to be specific for HIV -- they do not detect HIV itself. And contrary to popular belief, newer "viral load" tests do not measure levels of actual virus in the blood.

All HIV antibody tests are highly inaccurate. One reason for the tests' tremendous inaccuracy is that a variety of viruses, bacteria and other antigens can cause the immune system to make antibodies that also react with HIV. When the antibodies produced in response to these other infections and antigens react with HIV proteins, a positive result is registered. Many antibodies found in normal, healthy, HIV-free people can cause a positive reading on HIV antibody tests. (23) Since the antibody production generated by a number of common viral infections can continue for years after the immune system has defeated a virus -- and even for an entire lifetime -- people never exposed to HIV can have consistent false positive reactions on HIV tests for years or for their entire lives.

The accuracy of an antibody test can be established only by verifying that positive results are found in people who actually have the virus. This standard for determining accuracy was not met in 1984 when the HIV antibody test was first created. Instead, to this day, positive ELISAs are verified by a second antibody test of unknown accuracy, the HIV Western Blot. Since the accuracy for HIV antibody tests has never been properly established, it is not possible to claim that a positive test indicates a current, active HIV infection or even to know what it may indicate. (24) In one study that investigated positive results confirmed by Western Blot, 80 people with two positive ELISAs that were "verified" by a positive Western Blot tested negative on their next Western Blot. (25)

Antibodies produced in response to simple infections like a cold or the flu can cause a positive reaction on an HIV antibody test. A flu shot and other immunizations can also create positive HIV ELISA and Western Blot results. Having or having had herpes or hepatitis may produce a positive test, as can vaccination for hepatitis B. Exposure to microbes such as those that cause tuberculosis and malaria commonly cause false positive results, as do the presence of tapeworms and other parasites. Conditions such as alcoholism or liver disease and blood that is altered through drug use may elicit the production of antibodies that react on HIV antibody tests. Pregnancy and prior pregnancy can also cause a positive response. The antibodies produced to act against infection with mycobacterium and yeast, infections which are found in 90% of AIDS patients, cause false positive HIV test results. (26) In one study, 13% of Amazonian Indians who do not have AIDS and who have no contact with people outside their own tribe tested HIV positive. (26) In another report, 50% of blood samples from healthy dogs reacted positively on HIV antibody tests. (27)

Prior to the notion that HIV causes AIDS, viral antibodies were considered a normal, healthy response to infection and an indication of immunity. Antibodies alone were not used to diagnose disease or predict illness. Before HIV, only ELISA and Western Blot tests that had been shown to correspond with the finding of actual virus were used to diagnose viral infections. There is no credible scientific evidence to suggest that these rules should be disregarded to accommodate HIV.

In addition to being inaccurate, HIV antibody tests are not standardized. This means that there is no nationally or internationally accepted criteria for what constitutes a positive result. Standards also vary from lab to lab within the same country or state, and can even differ from day to day at the same lab. (28) As HIV test kit manufacturers acknowledge, "At present there is no recognized standard for establishing the presence or absence of antibodies to HIV-1 and HIV-2 in human blood."

  • Aids is man mad google The Us Special Virus Cancer Program. This program created The Esp-1 virus this synthetic agent is identical to Aids... Google Hr 15090

  • Sounds like Boyd Graves made forgot to mention to his students that there is a huge difference between "HIV" and "AIDS". The latter was actually a creation of the CDC - a syndrome, meaning a collection of different conditions and diseases lumped together. 97% of people presumed antibody positive to "HIV" are not sick. The revered US Special Virus Cancer Program has not demonstrated that retroviruses cause immune deficiency. Where as malnutrition and drug abuse are known causes.

  • interesting, thanks for loading

  • @jagara1 Google.....Top Scientists Ask Medical Journal Science To Retract Original AIDS Papers

    '.....ncludes a copy of Gallo’s handwritten changes to the article, a letter from an electron microscopy expert indicating that Gallo’s samples did.....NOT.....contain any virus, and a letter from Gallo to a researcher verifying that HIV could....NOT.......be purified directly from human materials."

    Gallo is the test kit patent holder btw.

see all

  • @jagara1 because is a criminal and a liar.

  • extractive (oxidative)  stress

    antioxidants are known to curb this distribution.

  • @jagara1 Google..... A SELECTION OF HIV DOCUMENTS EVIDENCE OF FRAUD?

    ....to see Gonda's letter to Gallo. Scroll down to see what the little **** scribbled out..."Despite intensive research efforts the causative agent of aids has NOT been identified"

  • @mykoolaidtastesfunny Thank you - that is exactly what I wanted :) I shall read up on this.

  • Dr. Gonda XE ... the Head of Electron Microscopy at the NIH XE "National Institutes of Health" , to....L Ron "Gallo, Robert" . He reports that images wanted for the Science papers, do..............NOT...........­contain "HIV" (HTLVIII) a s Gallo had claimed, but only cellular rubbish.

    This was received only 3 days before Gallo sent in the Science papers for publication, When the papers appeared in print, they still contained photos credited to Gonda, with Gallo saying they contain HIV.

  • Can someoe answer this question please:

    If HIV has not been isolated - why has Gallo said that he isolated it?

  • aids is a ninja virus u cant see it it move in the dark

  • IL-2+ weill work for all weak viruses, what ever their source.

  • The case of does Hiv cause aids was first brought up by a man name Dr Peter Duesburg. Who along with Robert Gallo and Dr Montangier All Worked on Secret Government Program. The Us Special Virus Cancer Program. None of these man ever admitted working in this program until records where release through the freedom of information act. This Program created a bio agent called the ESP-1 Virus the bio agent is closely Identical to Aids.
