AIDS Virus but No AIDS- Elite Controller
Posted 4 months agoIn this video, we will explain how some people remain healthy despite being infected with the AIDS virus. These individuals are known as "elite controllers." Let's delve into the details about these people.
First of all, is there any cure for AIDS? The answer is: absolutely not. There is no vaccine to prevent AIDS, nor is there any medicine that can cure it. The medications available can control the virus but do not eliminate it, allowing people to live a good life.
Looking at the history of AIDS recovery, we find that only six people worldwide have ever been cured of the disease. However, the treatment is so difficult that most people wouldn't want to undergo it. Research has also shown that some people possess a specific genetic trait known as CCR5-delta 32, which protects them from AIDS. It is worth noting that the CCR5 receptor helps HIV enter human cells, but when it mutates to CCR5-delta 32, the virus cannot use it to infect cells. Stem cell transplantation has been used to introduce this genetic material into people, protecting them from AIDS, but this method is very complex. Additionally, some individuals have been observed to control the virus for a long time with medication, and later, even without medication, the virus's growth diminished.
Now let's talk about elite controllers, who have the AIDS virus in their bodies but live healthy lives without medication.
What is AIDS? AIDS is a disease that completely destroys a person's immune system. The virus that causes this disease is called HIV.
In a healthy person, the number of CD4 positive cells ranges from 500 to 1,200 cells per cubic millimeter. When this number drops below 200, the person is diagnosed with AIDS.
Currently, 39 million people worldwide are living with AIDS. In 2022 alone, 1.3 million new cases were reported, indicating that the AIDS problem is becoming more severe globally.
As mentioned earlier, some people get infected with the AIDS virus, but it does not reduce the number of CD4 positive cells in their bodies, preventing them from developing AIDS. These individuals are known as elite controllers.
Who are the elite controllers? These are people who have been infected with the AIDS virus, but the virus does not multiply enough to reduce the number of CD4 positive cells, preventing them from developing AIDS. They live healthy lives without taking any medication to control the virus.
The number of elite controllers in the world is very small—only about 0.5% of people worldwide.
How do elite controllers keep the AIDS virus in check? There are many scientific explanations, but none provide a definitive answer. Some key theories include:
- Natural control of the disease, which human understanding and science cannot fully grasp.
- Genetic factors that help control the AIDS virus.
- Major histocompatibility complex elements in human genetics.
- The role of transposable elements in genetic material, which involves zinc finger proteins that inhibit the excessive movement of these elements, aiding elite controllers in keeping the virus under control.
Scientific experiments have shown that the free movement of transposable elements helps elite controllers remain protected from AIDS, maintaining their CD4 positive cell count and preventing the disease.
