Guest guest Posted September 14, 2000 Report Share Posted September 14, 2000 I've missed a lot of posting lately - haven't had time - but this one struck me so I opened and read it - When a medical person refers to PA as an HIV disease, I believe it's because PA and RA and some other diseases like Lupus, etc. are Auto Immune diseases - the body's immunities attack itself. I forget exactly what HIV stands for, but AIDS is Auto Immune Deficency Syndrome - so actually, isn't that about what PA is?? An auto immune disorder? It doesn't mean it is AIDS, all it means, I think, is that is an immunity disorder. But it's not the same as AIDS or HIV, it isn't contagious.
