The abortifacient organism is a virus called the Human Immunological disorder Virus. On gaining entry into the body of a subject through another patient’s body fluids such as blood, blood products, semen, etc. the virus remains in the liquid body substance system and gets replicated. Then over a period of years it reduces the body’s immune system.
