My mom became a nurse in the late 80s. She was witness to how terrible the disease was but worst of all, how people treated those infected. It almost made her quit nursing altogether. She would call parents to tell them about thier sons rapidly failing condition and they would tell her never to call back or hang up on her. Even family's gave up on them. She tried to be there for them so they wouldn't die alone. They would cry out for parents that didnt care. She held their hands. My moms best friend, they met in nursing school, Bill died of aids in 90 or 91. His loss affected her greatly. She doesn't talk about the early years of her career much, she saw so much, ive asked her to write a book about that time but she cant, for now at least❤

I had a cousin that was HIV+. She died around 2016, but she went on to be the first HIV+ organ donor (to other HIV+ patients ofc). It was a huge comfort while grieving her to know that her death saved other people- not just the ones who directly got her organs, but also all the other HIV+ patients that will be able to receive organs from other HIV+ donors. Some of her organs were also donated to science to help them study HIV.

What fascinates me about HIV and AIDS is that the way doctors initially tried to treat it actually made it worse. The idea with some bad diseases is that you focus on killing it, then let the body recover (maybe with some help). They were treating it similarly to cancer. Unfortunately, that wasn't helping. So instead of focusing on killing the virus outright, the focus became reinforcing the immune system and inhibiting the virus.

@Hveragerthi

One problem is that there are no common lab tests that can even confirm infection with HIV. Antibody tests are notoriously inaccurate with over 65 known causes for false positives on the HIV antibody test. Most of these are due to serological cross reactivity from things like common vaccines, some autoimmune disorders, pregnancy or multiple pregnancies, etc. Gammaglobulin or exposure without chronic infection also yield false positives. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR, "viral load") is also a joke. PCR neither confirms the presence of any particular virus nor its activity. It is guesswork based on what the antibody test says and is easily manipulated. If they want to show a higher viral load to scare people in to taking drugs all they have to do is increase replication cycles. If they want to make it appear a treatment is working all they have to do is reduce the replication cycles thus lowering the viral load. There are also numerous problems with accuracy that have been reported in the medical journals including contamination ("product carryover") , calibration, annealing time, etc. The original treatment for suspected HIV infection was pretty stupid. This was the drug AZT, which was originally developed in 1962 as a chemotherapy drug. It was originally banned for human use though as it was found to be too deadly for human use. This is due to the fact that unlike HIV the drug AZT completely collapses the immune system by reducing ALL IMMUNE CELLS including CD4s, which ironically is now part of the definition of AIDS. HIV could not even cause AIDS under the original definition of AIDS. It was not until Robert Gallo, who had already been busted for scientific fraud again committed fraud by announcing before a world wide AIDS symposium that the cause of AIDS was HIV that the government had to find a way to cover up Gallo's newest fraud. So they changed the definition of AIDS in the early 80s to fit the HIV virus to cover up Gallo's newest fraud since he was a top government scientist and therefore was going to embarrass the government with his newest fraud. Why did Gallo commit fraud again? For financial reasons. Gallo held the patent rights on the highly inaccurate HIV antibody test at the time so as long as people believed his fraud he was making a fortune. The only things that could cause AIDS under the original definition are the virus human herpes virus type 6 variant A and the drug AZT both of which completely collapse the immune system. In fact the largest study ever done on AZT, the Concorde Study, determined that the drug AZT shortened the lives of people testing HIV+, which again does not even mean HIV infected, since the AZT unlike HIV completely collapses the immune system leading to opportunistic infections that kill the person.

Cures have existed since the day they introduced HIV. The FDA has blocked every single proven cure including ozone therapy, Compound Q, lentinan, etc Although, in many cases, people's AIDS went away by simply getting off the AZT, which unlike HIV causes a complete collapse of the immune system, which is also why AZT was one of the first causes of AIDS and has continued to be the primary cause of AIDS. This is why AZT was not allowed on the market when it was invented as a chemo drug in 1962. It was deemed too deadly for human use. The medical establishment though does not refer to these cases as cures though, but rather refers to them as "spontaneous remissions". Big part of the problem is that the vast majority of people, including most doctors have no clue what AIDS is. AIDS is not a disease, it is a syndrome. Acquired Immune Deficiency SYNDROME. Syndromes are not diseases, they are a group of symptoms, which can have more than one cause as is the case with AIDS. Under the original definition of AIDS, HIV could not even cause AIDS. The only things that could cause AIDS under the original definition are human herpes virus type 6 variant A (HHV6-A) and AZT, both of which unlike HIV completely collapse the immune system that led to the opportunistic infections that originally defined AIDS. It was not until 1982 that the U.S. government changed the definition of AIDS to fit HIV to cover up the newest fraud by one of their top scientist Robert Gallo who lied claiming HIV was the cause of AIDS for his own financial gain. Gallo held the patent rights on the highly faulty HIV antibody test of the time.

If you or your dr wait for that, it could become chronic. I went thru about 3 yrs of treatment, relieving a lot of symptoms, but not all. I'm mostly home-bound, now. None of this is bs. My daughter's death is not bs. I've discovered that she was born with it, thru me. I said all of this, not for sympathy or even compassion, but for education. I knew nothing, really, about it, until I had to. I just want to help others be aware. Not sure why you are so adamant in your ideas, when you don't have all the facts. But that is up to you. My life has completely changed over night. I was an active person - a mom, student, business owner, volunteer, etc. Now, I can't move easily and its a struggle to do anything or get anyrhing done. I, now, have difficulty finding my words, tho I was quite intelligent (sorry for the lack of modesty in that explanation). I am in pain 24/7, making it difficult to even sleep. This is why I chose my username, as I did. I'm a shadow of who I used to be. Again, this is all to reply to your comments and to explain, not to complain. My story is not unique - there are many of us. Many who have the ability to express themselves better than I can. I do hope you never have a bad encounter with a snake or are affected by Lyme (etc) - wouldn't wish either on anyone. May you find knowledge without fear. Enjoy good health.

This may be the best series youve ever done. Absolutely amazing coverage! Thank you so much for this piece of history thats been missing for me

HIV did not come from a monkey. That myth was disproven over 30 years ago when it was found that HIV was not even remotely close relative to HIV. SIV only has 43% of the same genetics as HIV, which means it is impossible to HIV to have come from SIV. With such a wide variance, mutations from SIV to HOV by natural genetic drift would mean we wold literally have had millions of variations between the two viruses, which have never existed. The HIV came from a monkey myth stems from some lab samples of monkey tissues from a lab polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tested for HIV despite the fact that this test cannot confirm the presence of any particular virus. The monkey samples came back positive for HIV, even though HIV is a human virus, not a monkey virus. It was not until 2 years later that they very quietly announced that the money tissue cultures had been contaminated in the lab, and the monkeys never had HIV. By then though, the HIV came from monkeys myth had taken a strong hold, and the myth never died.

so informative!

Many theories have been proposed to explain the origin of AIDS. The most popular is the so-called "cut-hunter" hypothesis, in which an African hunter was parenterally exposed to monkey blood contaminated with a virus closely related to HIV (Karpas, 1990; Hrdy, 1987). The infected individual then spread the virus throughout Africa via war, prostitution, urbanization and tribal rituals. The problem with this theory is that it would take hundreds of years for HIV to spread in this manner, and AIDS is a relatively recent disease (Krause, 1992; Huminer et al., 1987). A more likely explanation for the AIDS pandemic is a massive population exposure to an HIV-like virus contained in a vaccine. Such an exposure may have taken place in the Belgian Congo (now Zaire, Rwanda and Burundi) from 1957 to 1959. An oral polio vaccine manufactured at the Wistar Institute in Philadelphia was administered to hundreds of thousands of inhabitants of this area, including 320,000 infants and children (Koprowski, 1960). The vaccine was made in fresh monkey kidney cells that were known to be contaminated with at least 18 different simian viruses (Hayflick et al., 1962). The vaccine itself was found to be contaminated with an "unidentified nonpoliomyelitis virus" that was never characterized (Sabin, 1959). Several facts lend support to the polio vaccine hypothesis of the origin of AIDS. The vaccine was probably developed in fresh kidney explants from macaque monkeys, although African green monkeys may also have been used, and the exact monkey species remains uncertain (Smith, 1990). It is now known that HIV can infect at least one species of macaque (Agy et al., 1992), and HIV antibodies have been detected in African green monkeys (Lecatsas and Alexander, 1992). Thus HIV or a precursor virus could have contaminated the kidney cell cultures. The area where the vaccination program took place had the highest incidence of AIDS-related diseases in the "pre-AIDS" 1960s and 1970s (Williams, 1992). This observation is consistent with exposure of the population to HIV during childhood prior to dissemination of the virus to other areas during adulthood. In the Congo vaccine trial, the vaccine was administered by nebulizer into the pharynx of each infant and child. This method of administration would expose mucosal cells to the virus and increase the likelihood of latent infection (Lehner et aL, 1991). Other infectious diseases in the vaccinated population might also have contributed to an increased susceptibility to an HIV-like virus contained in the Congo vaccine.

I remember reading about 20 years ago an article about a patient in 1969 in St Louis that died of symptoms very much like HIV/AIDS . I dont know what the follow up was to it

a battle is being waged inside of me... I had been fighting this silent battle for quite sometime now, even though i know what the outcome in the end might be, still i find hope and strength from family, friends, and people around me.. But lately i realized, im already growing tired and weary, and hope slowly faded away, but acceptance is still there with me, i just want to live my life, the way it is (whatevers left of it). i gave up on my arv and other medications for quite sometime now, and im feeling the consequences already. But i have no regrets in doing it.. "I JUST WANT TO LIVE WHATEVERS LEFT OF MY LIFE THE WAY I WANTED IT TO BE". for those people who are having the same burden, please dont give up, dont be like me..

I love this show. I am glad there're still people out there doing knowledge based shows

This was fascinating. Thank you for being so brilliant in educating us about this important issue

This educated me alot thanks for the Iformation

In the 1970s a British friend of mine worked in Borneo. The company was a large multinational and staff came from all over the world.The new recruits were keen to see as much of the country as possible while they were there and one of the most popular trips was to explore the forest and to sample Bush meat. A typical meal included eating the brains of small monkeys. This is may have been another way for the virus to infect humans and spread across the world.

Your show is always a great time to watch, but I have to say this episode seemed to have notably more serious, reverent tone. Especially coming for Aranda. This is and has obviously been an intimately serious issue for thousands of people and I appreciate how you handled it with regards to tone. Y'all have always had a knack for good empathy in your content.

by the way... great video!

when i was in school learning of this (2009. yes, i know. so young but so old haha) they NEVER had a clear explanation about how anyone thought this spread. my guess, and he said it in the video, was that it spread through blood (king leopoldo probably didn’t help any, as he demolished the congo) and never once did we talk about it spreading through BREAST MILK! However, knowing this about aids and hiv now, it’s kind of insightful for a plethora of other things. THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION!

Very informational video. Scishow should make this a series, covering other diseases like this, showing the basics of them and adding extra info that its not usually said, like origins, and evolutions. Keep up the great work!
