ok how does aids begin anyway i know u can get it from a person who has it but how did that person get? l mean like how was there before everyone got it from everyone else. so would this statement be true? if everyone did everything to prevent aids, not using needles, etc, and only had sexual intercourse with one partner that was not infected, then nobody would have aids?
I’m sure someone will step forward and provide you with references to peer-reviewed journal articles that will answer your questions and clearly explain how AIDS is caused by a virus called HIV.
Whoops I forgot. There aren’t any.
HIV is believed to have “jumped” species from other primates to humans. This is similar to how SARS is believed to have moved from civets to people. The virus may not be as lethal to it’s other hosts as it is to people. And even if it is, the incubation period (for HIV to AIDS) is not a short period, so there is plenty of time when the person is contagious but not sick, per se, to transmit to others. The question of where did all viruses come from is a similar question to where did all life come from, and is not easily answered outside of religious beliefs. Maybe all viruses eventually mutated from a single virus. And there will be more mutations in the future.
There are some very qualified virologists (CRorex springs to mind) that can do the subject a much better service than I, so I’ll stop there.
baby cat, ut’s already been explained to you in another thread that AIDS was transferred to humans from animals, probably monkeys. You seemed to understand this perfectly well in that thread.
And if everyone did everything to prevent AIDS, obviously someone would have AIDS, that being the person who was initailly infected. If monkeys are acting as a natural reservoir then the disease isn’t going to just vanish. Certainly taking precautions would reduce the risk of that person infecting large numbers of others, but it wouldn’t make the virus go away.
Stan DOubt, I’m not sure what you are on about. There are any number of journal articles on how HIV infects and destroys WBCs and causes AIDS.
Kind of like those articles that prove water is wet.
I POSTED THIS ONE FIRST!!! THEN THE OTHER POSTED ONE ABOUT THIS SAME TOPIC SO I WROTE ON THAT THREAD IF YOU READ THE DATES BLAKE!!!
