    It is my hypothesis that evolution selected DHEA because it optimizes replication and transcription of DNA.  Therefore DHEA levels affect all tissues.  Therefore, in 1985 (copyrighted), I first suggested that low DHEA may be the basis of AIDS (not called AIDS at the time).  Subsequently I decided that the actual symptoms of AIDS are caused by the loss of DHEA.  Low DHEA has been proven in HIV / AIDS.

    It is also part of my work that excessive testosterone reduces DHEA.  Therefore, individuals with high testosterone will be more vulnerable to the HIV.

    It is known that male homosexuals produce less DHEA than heterosexual males and that black males produce more testosterone than white males.

    I suggest the findings of HPTN 061 are due to high testosterone and low DHEA in black, male homosexuals.
