There are people in this world who are resistant to HIV.
The first genetic mutation associated with HIV susceptibility was identified in the mid-1990s. Known as the CCR5-Delta32 mutation, it seems to confer strong resistance to infection by HIV. This gene mutation is found most commonly in certain European populations.
They found that the cells of people who express high levels of Pk, a rare group representing about one in a million people, were resistant to HIV infection. Conversely, the cells of those who express no Pk at all, representing about five in a million people, were particularly susceptible to HIV infection.
HLA-B27 (highest among the Saami people of Lappland) also carries a protective function against HIV and HLA-B57 supposedly has a protective function against the progression from HIV to AIDS.
The claim that rh negatives cannot contract HIV/AIDS is false. There are 3 studies from 3 different countries I have previously posted showing clearly that
- Rh negatives show up in lower frequencies compared to the controls among HIV/AIDS patients.
- Rh negatives of all ABOs, O negative, A negative, B negative and AB negative can have HIV/AIDS and do have HIV/AIDS.
The claim was made once by one person and one person only. It has never been substantiated. It is now proven to be false.
For the 3 studies showing blood type frequencies among HIV/AIDS patients, continue here:
