"HIV negative" repercussions (Figure) Source: "Science News" magazine at 15:33 on June 7th, 2011
Although the statement "HIV negative" patients in the community caused no small waves, but more urgent is the true number of AIDS deaths in China in a significant increase in deaths from infectious diseases has become "the first killer" Wang Ling April 4 this year, Hong Kong media reported that patients infected with "negative AIDS" virus, there will be lymph swelling, subcutaneous bleeding, raw fur hair and other symptoms, but symptoms can not cure. Reported that at least six provinces in the Mainland found the virus. For a time, public outcry, the Chinese Ministry of Health to respond quickly. April 12, at a regular news conference, Health Ministry spokesman Deng Haihua denied the so-called "negative AIDS" "HIV negative AIDS" is. So far, domestic and international authorities have not found this group from HIV and other new viruses. According to Deng Haihua, as early as in July 2009, the China Disease Control Center has started the relevant investigations; January 2010, they recruited 59 volunteers of the "readme suspected AIDS" investigation. Survey results show that the detection of AIDS antibodies were negative, related to the disease pathogens are not detected, the lack of a new virus or evidence of viral infection is unknown. CDC survey taking into account the readme symptoms and XMRV virus (iso tropic murine leukemia-associated virus) causes the clinical symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome is similar to the 59 subjects were tested XMRV virus, the result is negative. In fact, the CDC's findings did not allow these "suspected AIDS readme" satisfied, they formed a network of virtual communities together to discuss their symptoms, and some even hesitate to use "rolling sun" (the so-called "rolling Yang ", that is, people who use needles in acupuncture treatment of AIDS, and then tie on yourself, and others directly with the AIDS sexual intercourse) way to make themselves into real people with AIDS, as the State free of AIDS treatment drugs. Although psychological factors are considered as a result of somatic symptoms, these "negative AIDS" is still constantly seeking his HIV in the various "evidence." May 6 2011, academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering research team led by Zhong Nanshan, announced 60 of their study readme "negative AIDS" HIV test results. Zhong Nanshan, the team confirmed the 60 subjects who are not HIV detection, but it also shows that the groups exist pathogen infection, may be formed in 6 chronic infection or latent infection pathogens in 48 patients with positive detection of pathogens, EB virus which was detected 33 positive. Although the publication of research results Zhong Nanshan, also said a majority of staff during the study of psychological disorders in different degrees, such as hypochondria, anxiety, depression, but his results have been interpreted as "negative AIDS" patients somatic symptoms is not entirely generated by the psychological effect. Ministry of Health, the subsequent findings of Zhong Nanshan was further response. Deng Haihua, said there is no evidence that the disease is contagious and people described clustering, no clinical, laboratory and epidemiological evidence to support the population suffering from a contagious disease, as mentioned in the Institute Academician Zhong Nanshan found EB virus infection in this population reached 55% detection rate, the incidence has no contact with them. EB virus is not rare In the study of Zhong Nanshan, EB virus is considered likely to cause "HIV negative" symptoms of infection one of the reasons the readme. In virus research fellow for many years, said Zeng Yi, EB virus is very common in the healthy population of a virus, for children 3 to 5 years of age more than 90% infection rate, but the future is to carry for life, generally will not cause the crowd said of these symptoms. Zeng Yi explained that, in addition to EB virus outside the human body in health, there are some other common viruses or bacteria, such as the studies have come out of CMV. Almost one hundred percent of Asians and Africans infected with the virus. Herpes virus infection per capita reached 80% to 90%, including E. coli, have one hundred percent. A wide range of microorganisms in the human body can exist only in certain conditions, can cause disease. New York, Rockefeller University Professor David Ho, Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center, told the "Science News": "EB virus can actually exist for a long body, causing human non-specific diseases. But it is worth noting that the majority of Chinese adults in vivo EB virus has been carrying for many years, needs some special tests to find out whether the new EB virus infection. " Ho further said that "these so-called" negative AIDS "infection, most likely caused by the symptoms of various diseases," are very cautious and safe view. "In fact, this phenomenon found in China, the United States 20 years ago has happened. Our team has published in the" New England Journal of Medicine, "an article's findings indicate that physical symptoms such groups do caused by various diseases, there is no evidence that their symptoms of HIV or a particular virus. " For scientists, the isolation and identification of a new virus also has a relatively mature technology route. "If scientists believe the virus is no known cause for the symptoms of patients, the researchers will collect a variety of patient samples (such as blood, saliva, urine, feces, tissue, etc.) and in a variety of cell culture medium, and then observed for a reaction occurred, and whether this response will be further validated in a series of medium to reproduce. If that can happen to the reaction, the researchers will be on the media for further observation and research, using various experimental equipment and technical means to prove that we really doubt the existence of viruses. "Ho that describes the process of identification of new virus. Ministry of Health press conference, Deng Haihua also mentioned that China will a number of "negative AIDS" assist in the investigation of patient samples sent to the United States, but have not yet found the presence of unknown viruses. The situation is more urgent For China, although the statement "HIV negative" patients in the community caused no small waves, but more urgent is the true number of AIDS deaths in China in a significant increase in deaths from infectious diseases has become "the first murderer." Epidemic, according to Chinese Ministry of Health report that last year 15,982 cases of reported AIDS cases, 7743 cases of death in the notifiable infectious diseases ranked first, starting in 2008, AIDS deaths have been dead for 3 consecutive years, ranking the top infectious disease. Invented AIDS "cocktail" therapy for David Ho, the incidence of AIDS in China are worried about, "China's gay men in cities need to attract people to the spread of AIDS awareness. While many people hope to AIDS vaccine development, but at present point of view, the development of the vaccine is still very difficult. My team has been working on to stop the spread of new methods of HIV. " Even if an AIDS vaccine there are always new news, but many researchers still believe that AIDS is imperative to curb the use of existing resources, the spread of AIDS, which found that HIV-including Nobel Prize winner Francoise * 巴尔西诺西. In an interview with "Science News" interview, she has said that the study of new vaccines and treatments is important, but to curb the spread of AIDS in developing countries, early treatment of AIDS patients, improve patient quality of life is extremely critical. China CDC Director Mr Wu in an interview, also said a study of tens of thousands of AIDS patients in China for a period of 5 years of clinical study found that patients treated too late is the biggest risk factor for death. EB virus EB virus (epstein-barr virus, EBv), also known as human herpes virus (Human herpesvirus 4 (HHV-4)). Is the epstein barr in 1964 and the first successful African children will burkitt suspension cultures of lymphoma cells in vitro plants built and used in the construction of electron microscope to the strains of smear herpes virus particles.
