dangerous and harmful is
the "HIV virus", which has
preoccupied researchers for
a long time and may well
continue to do so for some
time to come. Unlike other
viruses, this micro organism
totally inactivates the de-
fence system. It is impossi-
ble for a human being with a
malfunctioning defence sys-
tem to survive.
Cancer cells do not act alone.
The HIV virus causes
There are many cells that

with them. (At bottom right a

breast cancer cell and at the
defence system to collapse, top a dermal cancer cell)
making it vulnerable to all
kinds of diseases, eventual-
ly giving rise to various fatal conditions. It has occupied researchers for
many years, resulting in a sense of desperation and hopelessness. The
Journal of Bilim ve Teknik (Science and Technology), published in August
1993, made the following statement:
"The more we learn, the less certain we become." This statement is the most
common answer to a public survey carried out among 150 of the most recog-
nized researchers worldwide, studying AIDS. This was published in the
weekly scientific journal Science. No one can make certain judgments based

on the theses that have been advocated for years. Views, which were consid-
ered absolutely correct are now being pushed aside after they have been re-
vealed to rely on shaky grounds. Inevitably, the end result is such that even
long established theories about AIDS and its effective cause, the HIV virus
are once again being reviewed and their validity being questioned. 11
