Proof That HIV Causes AIDS

Before HIV infection became widespread in the human population, AIDS defining infections were rare, and almost exclusively in individuals with immune suppression, such as chemotherapy and certain types of cancers. However, a marked increase in the number of cases of AIDS defining illnesses was first recognized in the early 1980s in otherwise healthy homosexual men. Adding to the oddity, these men had no recognized cause for immune suppression. An infectious cause of AIDS was suggested by geographic clustering of cases, links among cases by sexual contact, mother-to-infant transmission, and transmission by blood transfusion. Later, isolation of HIV from patients with AIDS strongly suggested that this virus was the cause of AIDS.

Since the early 1980s, HIV and AIDS have been repeatedly linked in time, place and population group; the appearance of HIV in the blood supply has preceded or coincided with the occurrence of AIDS cases in every country and region where AIDS has been noted. Individuals of all ages and risk groups have all developed AIDS with only one common denominator - infection with HIV. These groups include:

  • men who have sex with men, infants born to HIV-infected mothers, heterosexual women and men
  • hemophiliacs
  • recipients of blood and blood products
  • people occupationally exposed to HIV-tainted blood
  • male and female injection drug users.
