A false NEGATIVE is much more dangerous and no test is 100%
I think we can discount your opinion on this.

"Once you accept that aids is a lifestyle disease you will understand it more."
I think I remember you or someone else saying something like this recently. By this logic then if I have a poor diet, don't exercise, drink excessively, and smoke 2 packs of smokes a day do I get AIDS. I don't do those things, but we all know that those things alone don't give you AIDS. The one thing in common all AIDS patients have is they are infected with the HIV virus. An unhealthy lifestyle can certainly hasten the onset of the syndrome, but does not guarantee it.
The reality is that many people died from HIV infections that turned in to full blown AIDS. To say that all of them had unhealthy lifestyles is short sighted and unrealistic. What you can say of every single person that has died of AIDS is that they were infected with HIV. Also, a healthy lifestlyle is not what is keeping many HIV+ people alive today, it is better medications accomplishing that. HIV causes AIDS, poor lifestlyle is a contributing factor.
festivus for the rest of us

BTW This is another example of what happens when people get their news off the internet, where everyone's BS is considered equal. Check out http://www.virusmyth.com/ and take a look at who is really behind it.

In a great piece of irony, it's alleged that Amanda Blake Died of AIDS (in Gunsmoke she played "Miss Kitty"). or maybe that's where the idiom originated?
Also, writing science fiction as a lifestyle will get you AIDS.
Getting pregnant and giving birth as a lifestyle will get you AIDS (or was it being married to an actor who would do "Starsky & Hutch"?).

Um, I work in the AIDS field and, yes , many conditions CAN cause a false positive, but that doesn't meant it WILL.
Secondly, any test that has false positives is not considered a bad test. For every positive test, a CONFIRMATORY test is required subsequently. Yeah, it sucks to get a false positive (I've seen a few clients, go through that), but it can be proved wrong. Anyone who accesses health care after a positive test also will receive a Viral Load test to determine their Anti-Retroviral Status or need for medication. If for some reason someone got TWO false positives and were actually negative, they would eventually find out or their VL would be deemed undetectable. If their VL is undetectable and T-Cell count remains over 200, they will not be prescribed medication.
WORTHY, it sounds like the "lies" you refer to are the pharmaceutical industry's stranglehold on the practice of medicine. While I certainly believe that (pharmaceutical and oil companies have the two most frighteningly powerful lobbies in the world), you can't sell drugs to someone that does not qualify for them. Maybe a few doctors get kickbacks for pushing HIV meds, but the subsequent health problems those very meds cause, makes it difficult for doctors to prescribe them openly. Somebody is sipping the conspiracy Kool-Aid a little too thirstly.
Third, another thing it seems you fail to realize is that a BAD test is a test that can provide a false NEGATIVE, not the other way around. For someone who claims knowledge of HIV/AIDS, I'm a little surprised at your comments.
