SEEKING TO ADOPT A POSITIVE CHILD - TheBody.com's Bulletin Boards

Abstract:
Here's a table for you -- the mortality rate among HIV positive kids in NY,
not diagnosed as "AIDS patients" (read - no drugs) is FOUR Percent.
That is, 96 percent of kids in NY who test HIV pos, but who aren't routinely drugged (by inference as not being labeled "AIDS") are alive and well.
The AIDS group suffers a 60 percent mortality - high, but not 100%, which is what we're told. What would it be minus the AIDS drugs?
NYC HIV/AIDS Statistics Through 2003:
http://www.ci.nyc.ny.us/html/doh/pdf/dires/ped-20031204.pdf
Note that NYC backdates AIDS deaths to 1976, eight years before the HIV test was produced.
Note that the percentage of deaths among AIDS patients (those taking the drugs) is Sixty percent. High, but not 100%.
Note that the percentage of death among HIV positive children (who are not considered AIDS patients) - is Four Percent.
That is -- 96% of all HIV pos. kids in NYC considered HIV pos from 1976(!) onward -- lived. (HIV positive kids are kids who tested pos, but who were not considered AIDS patients, for any number of reasons - background, their particular doctor, etc. As a result of not being considered AIDS patients,they would have been spared the AIDS drugs.)
Note that NYC listed 5 pediatric AIDS deaths (under 13 years old) in 2002.There were at least three alone, possibly four, at ICC.
-- OF important note - when I contacted the NYC coroner's office, I was told that the office doesn't list "AIDS" or "HIV" as a cause of Death in
children - instead they call it "natural causes."
