Is this your best response to my request ? You said literally that there is
"evidence to the opposite also, that is, that those taking the
immunosuppressive "AIDS" drugs have worse clinical conditions and poorer
survival when they take drugs(I assume you are speaking of the usual
poisons, AZT and PI's)in combination than those who do not use drugs(again
I am assuming the same thing) who have progressed to AIDS".
So we have to take your word for this assertion and balance that with data
from clinical trials that show that:
1) people on monotherapy do better (and certainly no worse) than untreated
individuals
2) people on combination therapy do better than those on monotherapy
I for one would like to see data where untreated individuals are compared
to matched individuals on triple drug therapy. But such a study can only
be done in places where the standard of care is 'no treatment', with all
the ethical problems associated with that (like future availability of the
drugs etc.). Duesberg of course knows this, so screaming for such a
controlled study means ignoring reality.

Of course there are long-term infected individuals that are healthy in the
absence of treatment. Same is true for long-term smokers. That however
does not prove anything.

There are a few studies in macaques infected with SIV showing that
untreated animals die of AIDS-related disease and that treatment keeps the
animals healthy and alive. Unfortunately there is no animal model where
HIV-1 causes AIDS directly. Which is why drug companies now get away
without having to prove efficacy in an animal model. Wish that were
otherwise.
