HIV/AIDS aside....
Having an antibody in your body means your body has developed
that antibody in response to something. This antibody will remain
even if what it was designed to defeat has long since been
destroyed in your body. This is why you can't catch the same
strain of flu twice. Once you have the antibody it protects you
from future infections of the same virus.
Having the HIV antibody does not mean you currently have either
the HIV virus or the AIDS disease. Being HIV+ just means you
have tested positive for the antibody. It's been said the test
covers other non-related antibodies as well so that's one point
for the conspircy theorists, however in general a positive tests
means contact with HIV, not that you have anything or are in any
way infectious.

That's right, even if HIV doesn't cause AIDS, even if you've tested
positive but not developed symptoms. No matter what the case...
Do the right thing and don't risk other peoples lives just because
of some denial issue and a few conspiracy sites.
This is the major thing that gets me going on this. I don't care
about this whole debate.. I just can't stand seeing webmasters
in the middle of a crisis like this giving ammo to those that would
say we are part of the problem and not the solution.
