XMRV, HIV, and AIDS

[Guest guest]

before XMRV's link to CFS was found, lot of people kept asking " where is the CFS

epidemic in the HIV community? " i guess the question is answered now: HIV drugs

keep XMRV sleeping in HIV+ patients.

if HIV drugs didn't work on XMRV, would we not have many more cases of peope

with HIV AND CFS? i dont hear about many cases like this...

I dont know if this is considered off topic or not, but, can we sue? 

[Moderator: Yes it is off topic, there is a list dedicated to legal issues. If

you are in the US, you can sue on anything! Winning is a much harder road. (Why

do you think Medical Care is expensive --- liability insurance for MDs. You are

not paying the MD, you are paying their insurers.).

What about the people that have HIV and dont respond to the HIV treatment drugs?

[MODERATOR: CFIDS is an EXCLUSION disease, when all other causes of chronic

fatigue are EXCLUDED, then CFIDS is the diagnosis. With HIV I see " Fatigue can

be one of the most debilitating symptoms experienced by people with HIV disease "

so by the manual --- you cannot have both CFIDS and HIV. HIV would explain the

symptoms...

per eMedicine, you cannot have the following and CFIDS

* Adrenal insufficiency

* AIDS

* Liver disease

* Renal disease

* Lyme disease

* Q Fever

* Rheumatoid Arthritis

* Systemic Lupus Erythematosus ]
