	AIDS conspiracy theories - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These theories generally state that the disease was designed to deliberately wipe out a certain segment of the population in an act of genocide and/or was created as biowarfare research.
		The AIDS conspiracy alleged against her is that the medical establishment seeks to suppress her theories and cures, now offered in Tijuana, Mexico.
		Conspiracy theorists of this persuasion sometimes attempt to bolster their cases for one conspiracy theory by appeals to the existence of other conspiracies, such as chemtrail theory.

	HIV/AIDS The Untold Story
		Moreover, these conspiracy theories divert energy from the work that must be done in the trenches if marginalized communities are to survive this epidemic: grassroots education, mobilizations for AIDS prevention, and better care for people living with HIV.
		Put bluntly: The false conspiracy theories are themselves a contributing factor to the terrible toll of unnecessary AIDS deaths.
		When such forces propagate AIDS conspiracy theories among African Americans, one result is to divert people from the grassroots mobilization around prevention and education that could foster greater cohesion, initiative, and strength within the fl community.

	Conspiracy theory - SourceWatch
		Strictly speaking, a conspiracy theory is an allegation or conjecture in which historical or current events are explained as the results of the actions of a powerful, secretive individual, clique or organization.
		In general, conspiracy theories propose that such conspirators have been involved in a plan or series of actions — anything from manipulating governments, economies, or the legal system, to hiding important information of cultural or scientific significance — and have successfully suppressed most every trace of the plan or their involvement in its implementation.
		Conspiracy theories of this sort cast government agencies as pursuing vast and eerie technical powers in order to spy on people, control their minds, or otherwise suppress an alienated populace.

	AIDS Conspiracy Theories: Tracking the Real Genocide reviewed in MIM Notes
		By side-tracking such efforts, the conspiracy theory - that AIDS was created in a government laboratory - and its offshoot - denialism, that HIV is not the cause of AIDS, whatever the motives of some of its advocates, diverts energies ".
		Of course, this doesn’t automatically disprove the validity of their theories but it more than implies that these people are not objective, critical inquirers involved in some dispassionate search for truth- they have their own axes to grind that have little to do with any genuine concern over the communities most affected by HIV.
		We should be sympathetic to this distrust of the state which lies underneath people's adherence to conspiracy theory on the street level, particularly in the Black community, while rejecting the disinformation campaigns, political agendas and outright lies of the HIV confusion peddlers.

		A prime example of such theories is that medical or political authorities are withholding an AIDS cure from the poor.
		Women generally did not relate the conspiracy theory to views regarding condoms, but the link was strongly evident among male counterparts.
		And the currency of these beliefs is understandable, Turner adds, given historic discrimination against African Americans, the "unorthodox" emergence of AIDS among often-marginalized populations such as homosexuals and the poor, and the lack of a cure.

		Of 12 speakers, only one believed that HIV causes AIDS, but even he argued that HIV is being spread to the world's people of color through the World Health Organization's vaccine programs.
		Some fl community activists disapprove of the conspiracy theories, asserting that they work against prevention efforts such as testing and safe sex because these beliefs facilitate denial about personal behaviors and responsibility.
		However, we also are saddened by such conspiracy beliefs because they have been linked to people not connecting with the help which could be useful to them until the disease has already done serious damage.

	The Secret Origins of AIDS: Facts, Fallacies & Conspiracy Theories
		Before exploring the man-made theory of AIDS, it is important to note a small but highly vocal group who believes the cause of AIDS is still unknown, that the AIDS blood test is worthless, and that HIV is a harmless virus that is not sexually transmitted.
		AIDS experts routinely blame primates and human sexuality for the origin and spread of HIV, but they never consider the possibility that HIV could have originated in an animal cancer virus laboratory.
		One of the contentions of the man-made theory of AIDS is that the experimental hepatitis B vaccine was contaminated with an immunosuppressive AIDS-causing agent and/or the Kaposi’s sarcoma virus.

		Recent survey results that show African Americans believe HIV/AIDS conspiracy theories are "dismaying," and the myths pose a "real risk" of harming efforts to provide HIV/AIDS education and treatment in African-American communities, according to an editorial in the Feb. 5 issue of the journal
		However, the results are not "surprising," the editorial says, adding that African Americans have "many reasons to mistrust their government and the health profession," including the Tuskegee syphilis study, in which African-American men with the disease were denied treatment so researchers could understand disease progression.
		But conspiracy theories might "frustrate efforts to halt the epidemic" in African-American communities, where HIV/AIDS is "taking a terrible toll," the editorial says.
