Research disputes HIV's "viral load" theory. Critics argue HIV isn't found in quantities to cause T cell destruction. Viral load measurement is controversial.

This text discusses the issue of viral load in relation to HIV/AIDS. It highlights the difficulty researchers have faced in finding enough HIV in people who test positive for the virus to explain compromised health. Some scientists argue that HIV has never been isolated and that all HIV tests are invalid. The text also mentions the use of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology to measure viral load, which has been celebrated as a breakthrough in AIDS research. However, critics question the validity of viral load as a measure of disease progression. Overall, the text raises doubts about the accuracy and significance of viral load in understanding HIV/AIDS.
