I don't believe it's disinfo. As I said, these findings resonate with me based on the HIV-diagnosed people that I know personally who were heavy poppers users.

But it totally ignores the countless people who are HIV infected and never did poppers. That makes it disinfo because it leaves out important aspects of the disease and offers no explanation for any case not related to poppers. It's the equivalent of the JFK "magic bullet" claims.
What if it's possible to give yourself an auto-immune disorder through multiple different methods? I don't see why the two ideas have to be mutually exclusive, or why one necessarily disproves the other.
Couldn't HIV cause AIDS and poppers cause the same condition without the need of the virus? In my lay understanding, AIDS is simply a condition and not a disease, whereas HIV is the virus thay can result in AIDS, but the exact mechanism doesn't seem particularly well understood (eg. why some people get AIDS from HIV and others don't).
Anyways, I usually agree with your takes Morbo, but you seem to be coming down hard on one side here, when I don't think anything you're saying disproves the idea that poppers could also destroy your immune system.

Because it correlates with people infected with HIV. Additionally, prior to HIV, there were no similar cases of any matching autoimmune disease that just randomly appeared in someone. We'd also be seeing such random autoimmune diseases popping up now more than ever but we are not. It's a simple logical progression that a viral infection causes AIDS when that virus is found in the vast majority of those with such an autoimmune disease.
Would you say that before automobiles were developed that people were randomly getting into automobile accidents by other causes?
I think America's Frontline Doctors are a highly reputable source and I choose to pay attention to what they have to say.
