Viral Load levels of HIV and HHV-6A

          As a reply to JM Scutero:

             You use the estimate that 80% to 90% of the population is
          infected with HHV-6 before the age of 4 to argue a
          correlation between this virus and AIDS.  You even claim
          "... this is a very high correlation."  Although I admit
          that I don't have current statistics, I'm sure that 80-90%
          of the population is not developing immune deficiency.  If
          you see a correlation between these two sets of people, I
          would suggest that you re-evaluate the methods you use to
          make comparisons and correlations.  You might even find that
          it alters your original thesis.
