HIV has not been proven to exist! No virus has been found. It is sex lifestyle. When you have sex you swap proteins. One or a minimal number of people to have sex with is managable to your immune system. When you have casual sex with lots of people, your immune system becomes overtaxed with all of the varieties of foreign proteins. If those habits are maintained, then the immune system eventually shuts down because it can't handle it anymore. Get the REAL lowdown on HIV/AIDS... See the video at this site.

AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is caused by a virus called HIV (Humman Immunodeficiency Virus.) HIV attacks the part of the body that fights disease, the immune system. HIV is not curable, and over time, a person's immune system becomes weaker as the viral infection progresses. There are many effective treatments that allow people with HIV to live much longer, however people still do die as a result of HIV infection. HIV attacks white blood cells and does not directly result in someone's death. However, as the immune system is less able to fight infection, HIV+ people are at high risk for developing serious illnesses from which they are not able to recover. There are special afflictions called "opportunistic infections" which do not infect those with healthy immune systems but can be deadly to people with HIV. These opportunistic infections are often the result of death.
