Karen Lambert<\/em><\/p>\n

I have Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CFS\/CFIDS\/ME) and\u00a0HIV-NEGATIVE AIDS, idiopathic CD lymphocytopenia. With these two\u00a0clinical diagnoses, I believe that makes me living proof that the\u00a0AIDS-like CFS\/ME is transmissible, something that the medical\u00a0establishment seems unable to admit or to acknowledge. I also believe\u00a0it makes me living proof that CFS and HIV-NEGATIVE AIDS are basically\u00a0the same mysterious immune disorder.<\/p>\n

Three years ago, after a heterosexual sexual encounter, I became\u00a0seriously ill with what looks like the natural disease progression of\u00a0AIDS. After an \u201cacute infection\u201d and a \u201cperiod of asymptomatic\u00a0health\u201d, I have fallen extremely ill to an unrelenting,\u00a0progressively-worsening AIDS-like demise. I can pinpoint exactly when\u00a0I was infected with my \u201cchronic viral syndrome of unknown etiology\u201d\u00a0and because the \u201cacute infection\u201d stage was so distinguishable, I can\u00a0also pinpoint exactly when my undiagnosed pathogen left my body and\u00a0infected yet another host.<\/p>\n

Whatever I am currently dealing with, it strongly resembles classic\u00a0textbook HIV\/AIDS disease. But, to add to my inquiry, I also clinically satisfy the CDC\u2019s criteria for the diagnosis of Chronic\u00a0Fatigue Syndrome.<\/p>\n

Increasingly, I have become concerned that my systemic diagnosis is\u00a0caught up in the treacherous politics of CFS\/ME and AIDS. Most people\u00a0with CFS\/ME do not like to talk about the many symptoms and immune\u00a0abnormalities that they share with AIDS patients. I also suspect that\u00a0most ailing patients would rather be told that they have the very\u00a0mysterious CFS than to be told that they have AIDS.<\/p>\n

I have a Master\u2019s degree. I am a director at my firm. I used to be a\u00a0triathlete. I have never used IV drugs. I have never traveled abroad.\u00a0I can count my sexual partners on two hands. Statistically speaking, I\u00a0know that my undiagnosed infectious and communicable disease is not\u00a0rare\u2026so, you tell me, if they are not in the miscellaneous CFS\/ME\u00a0category, where are all these other immunosuppressed people?<\/p>\n

Anyone with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, who does not consider the\u00a0possibility that CFS\/ME will eventually progress to a NON-HIV AIDS\u00a0diagnosis, is very well trumping their own ability to diagnosis the\u00a0root cause of their illness.<\/p>\n

Why isn\u2019t CFS\/ME a reportable disease overseen by our public health\u00a0department? Why are ME and CFS (i.e., the same exact disorder)\u00a0suspiciously categorized as two separate illnesses on a worldwide\u00a0level (i.e., by ICD codes)? Doesn\u2019t anyone else but me, very clearly\u00a0see, the catastrophic cover-up going on here?<\/p>\n

Why are we not reading about Non-HIV AIDS cases (and\/or the AIDS-like\u00a0nature of CFS) on the front pages of every newspaper in the world? And\u00a0if CFS\/ME is Non-HIV AIDS, then, depending on who you believe, there\u00a0are anywhere between 500,000 \u2014 14,000,000 Americans out there with a\u00a0transmissible illness. If that is what it truly is, our new form of\u00a0AIDS dwarfs the \u2018original\u2019 AIDS epidemic \u2013 tenfold!<\/p>\n

I want honest answers for myself, for everyone who is suffering from\u00a0this hideous illness, and especially for those who remain uninfected\u00a0by my undiagnosed infectious and communicable disease.<\/p>\n

As worrisome as my health is to me, I am extremely troubled by the\u00a0strong likelihood that more people are being infected every minute\u00a0that Non-HIV AIDS cases (like mine) are allowed to go undetected \u2014\u00a0especially if it turns out that AIDS and CFIDS\/ME are basically the\u00a0same disorder.<\/p>\n

You can label my AIDS-like illness whatever you wish. I would even\u00a0allow you to call it infectious-CFS, even though it is utterly beyond\u00a0my realm of comprehension as to how the medical establishment can\u00a0generically name an entire disease paradigm based on just one (of my\u00a0numerous) symptom(s).<\/p>\n

Regardless of how politics may try to dissuade or delude you, all you\u00a0need to know is that my idiopathic immune dysfunction is infectious!\u00a0It is contagious! And it is spreading, unleashed, in the world\u2019s\u00a0population!<\/p>\n

I am not afraid to say that I have AIDS without HIV \u2013 idiopathic CD\u00a0lymphocytopenia \u2013 my second official clinical diagnosis. I am equally\u00a0as unafraid of saying the most obvious thing about CFS\/ME: it sure does look like AIDS to me.<\/p>\n

We talk openly about preparing for an impending Avian Flu pandemic.\u00a0Why not talk about the HIV-NEGATIVE AIDS epidemic that already exists\u00a0(and is spreading) amongst us?<\/p>\n

If it takes courage to think and to say the things that I do, I hope\u00a0that there will be a miraculous outbreak of bravery from\u00a0coast-to-coast. I stopped fighting for myself a long, long time ago. I
\nfight for humanity.<\/p>\n

I demand a CFS\/HIV revolution. Vive La Revoluci\u00c3\u00b3n\u00e2\u20ac\u008f.<\/p>\n
