摘要: The data widely purporting to show the existence and heterosexual transmission in Africa of a new syndrome caused by retrovirus which induces immune deficiency are critically evaluated. It is concluded that both acquired (AID) symptoms diseases constitute clinical (S) long standing Africa, affect sexes equally directly indirectly factors other than human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Seropositivity HIV Africans usually represents no more cross-reactivity an abundance antibodies induced numerous infectious parasitic endemic Africa. apparently high prevalence ‘AIDS’ ‘HIV’ seropositives therefore not surprising proof either or AIDS.
