The primary means of HIV transmission are believed to be sexual contact (particularly among gay men in Western countries), dirty needles and through blood products (whole blood tranfusions or blood clotting factors for hemophiliacs). If two people share a non–infectious health risk factor, does the acquisition of HIV antibodies or AIDS–defining diseases prove transmission? Do people with these risk factors get ill even when they are not HIV–positive?
For further information see Dr. Christian Fiala’s “Epidemiological Evidence Against Heterosexual Transmission of HIV”.
The quotes are classified as:
Non-Infectious TransmissionAre there non-infectious explanations for the supposed transmission of HIV/AIDS? If two people share a non-infectious risk factor, is the acquisition of HIV antibodies by them proof of transmission, or just an illusion of transmission?“Here we demonstrate a simple way to produce, without use of any external virus, a mouse disease that displays several main characteristics of retroviral HIV infection…Both diseases are sexually and vertically transmissible , and transferable by cell-free plasma [which was not shown to contain viral particles]” Ter-Grigorov VS et al. A new transmissible AIDS-like disease in mice induced by alloimmune stimuli. Nat Med. 1997 Jan;3(1):37-41. “This syndrome [AIDS] occurs in a minority of infected persons, who generally have in common a past of antigenic stimulation [exposure to foreign substances] and of immune depression before LAV [later called HIV] infection.” Montagnier L.
