Meta Description

  • The content discusses doubts about HIV's existence, questioning the validity of tests based on proteins and RNAs from a 1983 study by Montagnier.

Summary

  • This article discusses unanswered questions regarding HIV antibody tests and viral load. It mentions a study conducted in 1983 that claimed to have isolated and purified the HIV virus. However, the article raises doubts about the validity of this claim, as subsequent experiments have failed to provide evidence of purified retroviral particles. The author questions how it is possible to consider the proteins and RNAs found in the study as viral constituents and use them in antibody tests and PCR studies. The article also mentions that electron micrographs of the purified particles have not been published, further raising doubts about the existence of HIV. Overall, the article highlights the need for further investigation and clarification regarding HIV testing and viral load measurement.
