New AIDS-like, Fast Spreading, Infectious Disease Hits Mainland China RSOE Emergency and Disaster Information Service Budapest, Hungary http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/woalert...t=dis&lang=eng Quote:
A new infectious disease is spreading in large areas of Mainland China. Symptoms are similar to AIDS but it spreads faster between family members, even via bodily fluids like saliva. Mr. Lin from Yunnan Province caught a disease last May, unlike anything he had seen before. "This disease destroys immunity cells just like AIDS. The lowest amount of immunity cells of some patients is only 200, mine is 400. The doctor couldn't find many antibodies, so he called it 'Fear of AIDS' disease." Preliminary research shows that patients have symptoms of fatigue, chronic diarrhea, swollen lymph nodes, and weakened immunity. But doctors cannot find any sign of the HIV virus. "A huge number of people caught the nameless virus but the doctors cannot make a thorough check. So they make a conclusion that it's a 'Fear of AIDS' disease. The symptoms are very much like those of AIDS." Because the Chinese Ministry of Health doesn't recognize the disease, it has not carried out any investigation. However, patients feel very horrified and sad when they see their family members and friends become infected by coming into contact with their saliva or sweat. "We hope that media reports can pressure the relevant departments to pay more attention to the disease. Do not make any irresponsible conclusions and say it is caused by fear or psychological effect � it is a real virus. Many doctors, including doctors from Beijing also say this is an infectious disease." Doctors from mainland China also believe patients might catch the disease. However, the exact number of people infected remains unknown and what the mortality rate is, and how many have died from it.)

Re: New AIDS-like, Fast Spreading, Infectious Disease Hits Mainland China Skeery stuff. Hopefully there is an explanation and it is not some new deadly disease transferred via sweat and saliva.

True that, soon people wanting to practice "safe sex" with partners of dubious history will have to do so with entire-body covering condoms.

Re: New AIDS-like, Fast Spreading, Infectious Disease Hits Mainland China Fear of AIDS disease? Why not make the leap and call it AFRAIDS. That's what we used to say about AIDS when it first came out and no one knew whether they had it or not, or even how it spread.

Re: New AIDS-like, Fast Spreading, Infectious Disease Hits Mainland China Both the video and the story cited in the OP are exactly the same, word for word. Every hit on Google comes up with the exact same story, with no variation. Every disease site I look at shows only swine flu outbreaks. So here are my two hypotheses: First, this is a food or medicine contamination, but in a product not intended for export. The second is that this is an aggressive strain of Hepatitis. It could be A or B, since C takes so long to manifest symptoms, but a few years ago they were were up to Hep G or H. D through H are slight variations of A through C. But Hep, IIRC, can be spread by saliva. Combine either of those with the relative isolation of the epicenter, and what we probably have is a combination of panic combined with poor diagnostics, and possibly an undetermined bug. I'm not going to lose any sleep.
