Is it possible that HIV as a retrovirus could contaminate either male or female germline and thus got into a child so that every cell of the child already contains HIV? Linkato1 (talk) 19:34, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

HIV has never been isolated and proven the cause of AIDS, but we know for facts that Malnutrition, Starvation, Intravenous drug use and Poppers cause AIDS. A Rethinking and Revaluation of the HIV causes AIDS hypothesis is therefore required as more and more Scientists across the world believe that the Government and Media have got it all wrong since the beginning.

• Indeed, we are required by our policy on neutral point of view to present scientific consensus, i.e. that HIV is the cause of AIDS. The FAQ at the top of this talk page addresses these issues. — soupvector (talk) 14:48, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi all, I have no idea how to do this. Sorry.

The target paragraph might benefit from saying, 'In the year 2016 alone about 36.7 [etc]' Later in the paragraph it might benefit from saying, 'From the year 2017 all the way back to the time AIDS was identified in the early 1980s, the disease [etc]'

Target paragraph: In 2016 about 36.7 million people were living with HIV and it resulted in 1 million deaths.[16] There were 300,000 fewer new HIV cases in 2016 than in 2015.[17] Most of those infected live in sub-Saharan Africa.[5] From the time AIDS was identified in the early 1980s and 2017, the disease has caused an estimated 35 million deaths worldwide.[18] — Preceding unsigned comment added by XeeleeSycamore (talk • contribs) 18:33, 3 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That paragraph is not in the HIV article but in the HIV/Aids article. I would only change the word "and" to the word "to" in the following sentence:

""From the time AIDS was identified in the early 1980s and 2017, the disease has caused...""

Graft versus host disease has been implicated in eliminating several cases of HIV, including the The Berlin Patient and 6 others in Spain. ^[1]

If someone could update the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.178.254.209 (talk) 09:57, 24 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

N Moot – Your request was certainly correct, but I went ahead and removed the whole statement instead as not appropriate to include. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 03:52, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
