Why what else would? Of course it does . Don't you read the news?

 Being as I have HIV I'm probably a little biased because I have more facts on it. I do believe from the evidence shown and explained to me that yes it does cause AIDS.

 Hey,
yeah I believe that HIV causes AIDS.

 Well, they are both viruses, so yeah.

 I have always heard read and seen that hiv causes aids so i really have no other reason to believe other wise.

 If you have HIV then you have aids. It about the same.

 Yes that is what I believe.

 Yes, the HIV causes AIDS eventually.

 What else could cause it. I thought HIV was the early signs of aids.

 HIV causes the immune system to weaken, therefore allowing illnesses to penetrate the body's defenses more frequently and easily and therefore destroying the immune system further. Once there is no immune system to speak of, it is called full-blown AIDS. YES...HIV leads to AIDS. Case closed. If it were true that toxins causes AIDS, why is it that only those who contract HIV die from AIDS complications???

 HIV are viruses that leads to AIDS ^^, am i right ?^^ hehehe

 Dont think that AIDS is caused by HIV, I know it is.

HIV, Human Immune Virus, causes AIDS, Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome

 There's too many evidence pointing towards HIV causing AIDS.

 Aids is caused by complications from the aids virus.

 There is evidence supporting the correlation between HIV and AIDS. HIV is the virus that progressively destroys CD4+ T cells, which inhibits the body's natural ability to ward off infections of many different types. Many medications that are available now slow the progression of HIV, enabling the body to continue to fight infections.

Although there may not be hard evidence that proves causation, HIV infection has been repeatedly linked to AIDS, and according to R.N., Mark Cichocki, who writes for about.com's health section (which is monitored by a panel of qualified physicians, including oncologist and medical professor at the University of Washington School of Medicine, Dr. Vijayakrishna K. Gadi, M.D., Ph.D.), "since the early 1980s, HIV and AIDS have been repeatedly linked in time, place and population group; the appearance of HIV in the blood supply has preceded or coincided with the occurrence of AIDS cases in every country and region where AIDS has been noted." (check out http://aids.about.com/cs/opposingvi ews/a/connection.htm for the full article).


It is important to recognize, however, that some immunosuppressed individuals (i.e., transplant patients, chemotherapy patients, etc.) may be more susceptible to AIDS-like illnesses (usually secondary infections that most healthy people need not be worried about). However, in my opinion, the data correlating HIV and AIDS is strong enough to suggest that HIV is the primary cause of AIDS.
