Becky Kuhn, M.D., co-founder of Global Lifeworks, debunks the following 10 myths about HIV: HIV doesn't cause AIDS; because of ARV medications, we no longer need to be concerned about HIV/AIDS; if you have HIV and are sexually active, you no longer need to practice safer sex; you can't contract HIV through oral sex; you can't get HIV from one sexual encounter; a woman cannot spread HIV to another woman by having sex with her; if you are HIV positive but your viral load is undetectable, you cannot spread HIV; AIDS can be spread by kissing, hugging, or shaking hands; if you have HIV, you can cure it by having sex with a virgin; every individual with HIV will eventually develop AIDS. This video refutes misinformation from the "Lee Evans HIV Tests" video. Visit http://www.GlobalLifeworks.org... and http://AIDSvideos.org to learn more.

HIV-1 jumped to humans from the related SIV in chimpanzees. HIV-2 jumped to humans from the related SIV in the sooty mangabey monkey. [Reeves JD, Doms RW. "Human immunodeficiency virus type 2." J Gen Virol. 2002 Jun;83(Pt 6):1253-65.]

There's no reason to believe that HIV is of extraterrestrial origin. HIV-1 is genetically extremely similar to chimp SIV and HIV-2 is genetically extremely similar to sooty mangabey SIV. It's obvious that HIV jumped to humans from SIV in those two animals, likely due to blood exposure through hunting of them. See [Reeves JD, Doms RW. "Human immunodeficiency virus type 2."

MTCT is not how ALL HIV+ Africans were infected. In Africa, there's a significant amount of heterosexual sexual transmission of HIV. However, it would be fair to say that MTCT is more common in Africa than in the developed world due to the higher rate of HIV among pregnant women and less access to antiretroviral medications that can prevent MTCT.

I would like to thank you for posting this video. There are some groups of people who believe that HIV/AIDS is a myth, and denial of the existence of this disease can only lead to more infections.

The argument about latex pores is a red herring spread by people who want to raise doubts about the effectiveness of condoms. Water molecules are far smaller than the pores of latex condoms, but condoms still hold water. Oxygen molecules are far smaller than the pores, but latex condoms still hold air like a balloon. Why? Because the pores don't overlap. Condoms, if used correctly for every act, are a highly effective means of reducing your risk of contracting HIV.
