This seems to contradict medical
wisdom. What are the facts?
J. P. Guelph
In September of 1985 researchers
at the Institut Pasteur in. Paris
reported that the Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (then
called LAV -HTLV-III) was not
completely inactivated 'after a
seven-day period. during which the
virus was kept in a dry state at room
temperature. This was a laboratory
experiment and as such, was
performed under controlled
circumstances.
It is important to understand that
the researchers did not demonstrate
the transmission of the AIDS virus
from person to person in saliva.
Indeed, the research evidence
from studies of large numbers of
people has shown no evidence of any
persons acquiring an AIDS virus
infection through contact with
saliva. Scientists believe that this is
because the amount of virus in
Saliva when present is too small to
spread the infection and because the
virus has been found in saliva in only
a small number of instances.
The AIDS virus is spread by
sexual intercourse with an infected,
person and by sharing blood-con-
taiminated_,drug injection- equip-
ment. Over seven years of intensive
research analtionitoringi there has
never been any indication thatihit
infection IS spreatbia saliva.'
