When people are tested the cancer microbe in culture and in cancerous tissue was _ for HIV, they are not being tested directly for the virus but, rather, for antibodies against the virus. However, in order for a laboratory blood test to be developed to test for HIV, it was necessary to grow HIV in a large quantity in the lab. So, how was HIV grown? How do we know that the lab cultures of HIV are "pure" virus? How can we be sure that the HIV blood test is a reaction solely against HIV? Could virus-like mycoplasmas have contaminated the lab culture of HIV? Could HIV be a virus-like form of TB mycobacteria and/or virus-like mycoplasma? These are a few questions that concern some researchers. ...the various pleomorphic forms of the cancer mycoplasma-like and fungus-like. Is HIV “a virus"? It is universally claimed that HIV is a virus, although a few researchers have doubts. One of the reasons for doubt is the questionable "purity" of HIV in culture.
