1. Commentary: Questioning the HIV-AIDS hypothesis: 30 years of dissent
   Aug 30, 2015 · original
   by Alexey Karetnikov, Department of Molecular Genetics, University of Toronto Published in: Frontiers in Public Health, 7 August 2015 ( doi:10.3389/fpubh.2015.00193) A commentary on Questioning the HIV-AIDS hypothesis: 30 years of dissent by Goodson P. Front Public Health (2014) 2 :154. doi: 10.3389/fpubh.2014.00154 A recent Opinion article by Dr. Goodson ( 1 ) expresses pseudoscientific views typical of HIV/AIDS denialism ( 2 – 13 ) and ignores the overwhelming evidence that HIV is a causative agent of AIDS, the evidence accumulated during more than 30 years of research. Fulfilling the Koch’s Postulate 1: HIV is Invariably Epidemiologically Associated with AIDS Dr. Goodson ignores the fact that Koch’s postulates for viruses have been completely fulfilled in the case of HIV ( 9 , 14 , 15 ). The overwhelming evidence suggests an invariable epidemiological association of HIV with AIDS. AID
2. AIDSTruth: Our work is done
   Aug 10, 2015 · original
   August 2015 AIDSTruth began in 2006 to provide accurate information that countered the nonsense of AIDS denialism. We have long since reached the point where we—the people who have in one way or another been involved in running this website—believe that AIDS denialism died as an effective political force. We have therefore decided that there are no further compelling reasons to continue updating this website. However, the website will continue existing indefinitely. It is a valuable source of accurate information on HIV, and it serves as an important archive of the battle against AIDS denialism. AIDS denialism includes the views that (1) HIV does not cause AIDS, (2) the risks of antiretrovirals outweigh their benefits for people with HIV, and (3) there has been no large HIV epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa. HIV was proven to be the cause of AIDS in 1984. By 1987 there was no reasonable dou
3. Nicoli Nattrass: The Spectre of Denialism
   Mar 12, 2012 · original
   AIDSTruth contributor Prof Nicoli Nattrass (director of the AIDS and Society Research Unit at the University of Cape Town) has written a new book The AIDS Conspiracy: Science Fights Back , published by Columbia University Press. In the book, she explores conspiracy theories on the origins of AIDS (such as that it was manufactured by the US government), their surprising longevity, the campaigns by scientists to correct misinformation and the consequences of these myths for behaviour. She reflects on some of the arguments in the book in a piece for The Scientist , which has also published a short extract of the book on its website. There is a substantial body of evidence showing that HIV causes AIDS—and that antiretroviral treatment (ART) has turned the viral infection from a death sentence into a chronic disease.1 Yet a small group of AIDS denialists keeps alive the conspiratorial argumen
4. What do we know about AIDS deaths in South Africa?
   Jan 16, 2012 · original
   By Nathan Geffen The obscure Italian Journal of Anatomy and Embryology has published an article by AIDS denialist Peter Duesberg packed with errors. It claims that data from Uganda and South Africa shows that there is no evidence of an HIV epidemic. This journal, whose title indicates no expertise in HIV, has a track record of publishing peer-reviewed AIDS denialist nonsense . The article will have no influence on medical science. Nor is it likely to influence the South African government; the days of state-supported AIDS denialism are gone. Nevertheless its publication and the subsequent unnecessary publicity it received in the world’s leading science journal, Nature, provide a good opportunity to explain how we do know there is a massive HIV epidemic in South Africa. The two main arguments Duesberg et al. offer are that (1) the population has increased by 20 million in the past three d
5. A note from a childhood friend of Kim Bannon
   Jun 3, 2011 · original
   by Phillip L. Murphy This note first appeared on a Facebook page. It is republished here with the author’s permission. After speaking with Shannon, we decided it would be beneficial to those interested in Kim’s history to hear my own personal story. I was diagnosed with HIV in the fall of 1984. It was my final year of undergraduate work at KU, and i was deciding whether to attend medical school. after receiving the news in a very seedy sedgwick county health department office, I was terrified, horrified and in shock. I had been in a monogomous relationship with a man for almost a year. He began to hear rumors that a man he had dated previously was “sick”. After his test results came back positive, it was my turn. Neither of us knew what to do or where to turn. In those days there was talk of quaranteening the infected in asylums or deserted islands. We were a pariahs, angels of death. Fr
6. Kerry Cullinan: Frank Chikane’s whitewash of Mbeki is an ahistorical disgrace
   Nov 10, 2010 · original
   This opinion piece by Kerry Cullinan appeared on the Health-e News Service : OPINION: Doctors call them Thabo’s children – the thousands of kids infected with HIV by their mothers at birth who still fill hospital paediatric wards, suffering from a range of debilitating infections. When many of them were born, they did not get antiretroviral medication that could have prevented their mothers from passing HIV on to them. This was because then-president Thabo Mbeki had decided that ARVs were “toxic” and somehow less desirable than a fatal, incurable virus. But by 2000, at the height of Mbeki’s AIDS debating society, four independent studies had shown that two ARVs, AZT and nevirapine, could cut HIV transmission from mothers to babies by up to 50%. Also by 2000, research showed a radical change in the death patterns of South Africans with a peak in young women and men, rather than the elderl
7. In Defence of Science: Seven points about traditional and scientific medicine
   Sep 5, 2010 · original
   by Nathan Geffen, 28 August 2010 This is a corrected version of a position argued by the author at a debate that took place at the University of Cape Town in August 2010 about traditional and scientific medicine. Geffen is the treasurer of the Treatment Action Campaign, but this paper presents his personal views only. He is also author of the book Debunking Denialism (Jacana 2010) Scientists can be elitist and patronising. In that way, they are no different to any other people with power, including some traditional healers and including people who defend science, like myself. There are multiple knowledge systems. Cultural diversity, including African culture, is a valuable treasure. Traditional medicine is used by people across the world. African traditional medicine, in particular, is used by millions of people across Africa. It is therefore important to build relationships with traditi
8. The Cult of HIV Denialism
   Aug 6, 2010 · original
   By Jeanne Bergman, Ph.D. Achieve, Spring 2010. Reprinted with permission from Achieve. Introduction More is known about HIV than about any other virus. Less than three decades ago, doctors were perplexed by the appearance of Kaposi’s sarcoma and Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) in young gay men. Since then, scientists and doctors, spurred by the activism of people with AIDS, discovered the virus now called HIV and proved that it causes AIDS by crippling the immune system until the body can no longer resist life-threatening infections. Scientists around the world have isolated HIV, photographed it with electron microscopes, and sequenced the genomes of its different subtypes. There are now highly accurate tests for HIV antibodies and the virus itself, and increasingly effective and tolerable antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) for its treatment. Science is a gradual process, and there is still much t
9. AIDS Denialism, Medical Hypotheses, and The University of California’s Investigation of Peter Duesberg
   Apr 29, 2010 · original
   AIDStruth.org, April 2010 AIDS denialist and U.C. Berkeley Professor Peter Duesberg has recently received media coverage following the withdrawal of a paper of his by the publisher, Elsevier, and an investigation into his conduct by the University. [1] Here, we provide some background and a timeline of events in the unfolding drama. AIDS denialism, which Peter Duesberg has promoted tirelessly for the past quarter century, has claimed many victims from the ranks of HIV-positive people who believe in its tenets: that HIV is harmless or non-existent, antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) cause AIDS, and lifestyle choices and alternative therapies can prevent AIDS-related illness and death. [2] These deaths, caused by the fusion of ignorance and lies, are regrettable and tragic. They are dwarfed in scope, however, by what happened at the end of the millennium in South Africa. There, hundreds of thousa
10. Statement by Nathan Geffen on Complaint Against Peter Duesberg
    Apr 21, 2010 · original
    Two media articles create the impression that I complained anonymously about Peter Duesberg to the University of California Berkeley. These are: Science Magazine (April 16, 2010) and Daily Californian (April 21, 2010) . There was nothing anonymous about my complaint. I believe that Duesberg failed to declare a conflict of interests of one of his co-authors in an article published in a journal called Medical Hypotheses. I consequently lodged a complaint with the University. I believe high quality journals should hold the first author responsible for a failed declaration of conflict of interests by co-authors (unless the co-author hid the conflict from the first author which is definitely not the case here). Duesberg was the first author of this article. Admittedly, Medical Hypotheses is not a high quality journal. On 9 April 2010 UCB emailed me asking if I was prepared to have my complain
