Over and Underactive...

According to what I have read, from the Lupus Foundation of America website. Lupus is not like or related to HIV (Human Immune Deficiency Virus) or AIDS. In AIDS and HIV the immune system is UNDERACTIVE, while in Lupus the immune system is OVERACTIVE.

According to http://immunedisorders.homestead.com/

Immune dysfunction classically comes in two types:

• Underactive, weakened immune function, or immunodeficiency.

• Overactive function, autoimmunity or autoimmmune disease

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking???"

Maybe, there is a cure for AIDS and HIV. Maybe, it is through other people's disease. Maybe, Lupus, if only known how people acquire it, might be the solution for AIDS and HIV. But then, it's kinda hard to think that I would like to have AIDS than to keep having Lupus. So maybe, its only one way around.

I would like to think that someday Lupus could be the cure for AIDS. :) Imagine how many Africans out there who has the disease since they were babies. So hopefully, we soon will get a better understanding of LUPUS, then maybe, it could be a way to save other people's lives... :D
