HIV, AIDS and Entamoeba Histolytica Parasites
John Brisson presents a theory that AIDS may be primarily caused by the parasite Entamoeba histolytica rather than the HIV retrovirus alone. He suggests that the parasite modulates the virulence of the virus and is more easily spread through activities that cause intestinal tearing. This perspective frames AIDS as a condition of massive parasitic infection exacerbated by a secondary viral component.
