I'm literally leaving right this moment to drive an AIDS patient to a doctor's appointment, as part of volunteer work I do with the local AIDS charity organization.
I'll be back in a couple of hours, perhaps less.
Sick sonofabitch, if he used pretendending he has AIDS just to make a point.
get over yourself you self righteous b-hole. AIDS and HIV are two separate things. AIDS Describes an immune deficiency that most of the time is a direct result of advanced HIV infection. But, is not always the case. In 1990 whatever when I was diagnoised with AIDS they only looked at my white cell count and told me it was very low, Which is AIDS. So I was given an HIV test and that came back negative. Before my cancer scare I thought I might have been a "Super controller" (If your not familiar with the term with all you AIDS work, that is someone who is 'healed of AIDS with no outside help.)
But given all the recent testing I have had and my recent spike in white cells it seems that my body had issue regulating my white cell count. Because after a year and series of scans tests and several very invasive proceedures to procure biopsy material (which also uncovered my burst/now scared over appendix) I have been found cancer free. Even though I show all the warning signs of that. My hematologist told me it was very likely my AIDS Experience and My Cancer Experience stems from the same root cause. which they can not identify.
In my very first thread I make mention of my AIDS Experience, and have consistently backed this story every time it has been challenged. Why? Not to prove a point, but because it is true. Because this is apart of how God had worked in my life and apart of my foundation for my beliefs. therefore it is required of me to share and explain when ever asked.

I'm back from the hospital. Took my bud (the patient) out for some Mexican food at a place he recommended. Good stuff.
Are you serious? Not familiar with the term? I can literally list the identified genes in the HIV virus, as well as their common mutation-paths; it's what my degree is in, and it's work I've been doing for 20 years, now. If you know so much about HIV, then you'll know that "false positives" happen all the time, and in early versions of the ELISA test, it was a rate as high as 5-7% by some estimates.
A "super-controller" is not someone who has been "healed", it's a person whose CD4+ cells lack or have a mutated type of a particular glycoprotein on the surface of the cell, which makes it difficult for HIV to bind to the GP120 and GP41 coreceptors and enter the cell. As a result, they still have HIV in their system, but it does not progress to destroy the entire immune system (and thus become AIDS, after they have dropped below 200 absolute CD4+ count or have acquired two opportunistic infections).
If your immune system drops because of factors other than the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, then it is not AIDS, it is simply an immune deficiency. Literally dozens of factors can cause or contribute to a low immune count. If your doctors told you a low CD4+ cell count meant AIDS, then they are criminally negligent.
Incidentally, I have had cancer, the real kind, and had my left testicle removed, as well as undergone two months of intense radiation therapy as a result, during which process I received damage to my kidneys and liver.

I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
