	HIV & AIDS - AIDS: Myth and realities 15 years on (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		I have viewed the AIDS epidemic from the dissident perspective, indeed I might well have been the first to use the term ‘AIDS dissident’ so it does fall to me to give something of a definition.
		The only treatment licensed for AIDS was AZT which was considered to be a drug so miraculous in its beneficial properties that it wasn’t even allowed to complete a double-blind controlled trial, and the control patients were taken off the placebo and given the AZT.
		This ‘high risk’ strategy is translated in the case of AIDS into a view that we must, as a society, help people in clearly identifiable risk groups, rather than terrifying the entire population, the risk for most of whom is low.

		The response to AIDS in that crisis period of 1986-’87 wasn’t a Thatcherite homophobic pro-family type of response, it was a response, as I have said, of safe sex.
		AIDS is presented as a symptom and an example of that state of affairs.
		AIDS is seen as a sort of viral vice squad operating on behalf of the establishment or conventionality.

		AIDS dissidents have been ostracized and slandered; fired or had grants canceled; driven into bankruptcy; physically attacked.
		One AIDS dissident, Kary Mullis, who won the Nobel Prize in Science for inventing the Polymerase Chain Reaction, was asked to state which argument most strongly convinced him that HIV was not the cause of AIDS.
		In the case of AIDS, the apparent unanimity is a facade: in 1984 only a very few "experts" asserted that HIV (then known as HTLV-III or LAV) was the cause, and all the other "scientists" followed their lead.

	Truths Told About AIDS Dissidents! AIDS Dissident, AIDS Dissidence, AIDS Denialists, AnitAIDS Groups Tatics
		AIDS apologists (AKA AIDS realists) are those who know it is a fact that HIV leads to AIDS (proven by science, so much scientific proof) and we are defending the scientifically known fact that viral pathogenesis and progression of 'HIV to AIDS' causes the eventual need for combination therapies to prolong life.
		Mixed "AIDS Apologist" links here or find comments here from both sides (dissidents and the scientific community), but still mostly about AIDS Apologist activities.
		AIDS dissidents (better known as AIDS Denialists who are AIDS dissidence, dissidence is anti-establishment like, against science and progression, argumentative) deny HIV causes AIDS and claim the medications kill the patients (AZT "over use" alone started this myth in the late 80s, but medicine combo/therapies are working today in the year 2000+).

		Aids dissident Roberto Giraldo would not be Health Minister Dr Manto Tshabala-Msimang's adviser, but along with other experts, would help the department review its nutrition guidelines, the health ministry said on Sunday.
		In her reaction to the news report, Aids activist and PAC MP Patricia de Lille said South Africa would be safer with Tshabalala-Msimang in jail than out.
		In her reaction, Kalyan noted that Giraldo believed that antiretroviral drugs induced rather than treated Aids, and that Aids was caused by nutritional deficiencies and not by HIV.

	The Body: Flirting With Pseudoscience
		Now, these so-called AIDS dissidents have captured the attention of Thabo Mbeki, the powerful president of South Africa, where a staggering 12.5 percent of adults are estimated to be infected with HIV.
		There is evidence that the dissident arguments influenced one of his most controversial acts: the decision to delay making AZT available to pregnant women in order to reduce the number of babies born with the virus -- thought to be as many as 60,000 infants a year.
		The AIDS dissidents are "a small group of people who spend an enormous amount of time making sure their message will have an impact," noted Malegapuru William Makgoba, president of South Africa's Medical Research Council.

	The Body: South Africa "AIDS Dissident" Dispute: Time to Stop and Think
		A bizarre dispute around "AIDS dissidents" who argue that HIV does not cause AIDS and oppose standard treatment to prevent maternal-infant transmission threatens to damage the World AIDS Conference in Durban (July 9-14, 2000) and divert attention from efforts to control the epidemic worldwide.
		The recent AIDS dispute came to wider international attention last fall, with South African government reluctance to use AZT to prevent transmission of HIV from pregnant women to their children.
		Which is why AIDS dissidents may have a big future among the 90% of the world's people with HIV who have no access to effective treatment.

		Dissidents argue that the HIV=AIDS=death equation -- drummed into the public consciousness since the 1984 press conference that dubbed HIV "the virus that causes AIDS" -- has never been proven and that a vast body of scientific evidence suggests that it's simply wrong.
		But, she adds, temper tantrums don't change the hundreds of published AIDS dissident research papers and articles that, as she puts it, "overwhelm[s] the HIV-might-cause-AIDS evidence." (Archives of dissident studies and articles have been set up at www.virusmyth.com and www.livelinks.com/sumeria/aids.html [link is defunct ed.]).
		When she was still with AIDS Project Los Angeles, Maggiore also tried to arrange for a public forum where AIDS dissident scientists could present their research and open their work up for scrutiny.

	Mainstream scientists on AIDS panel 'embarrassingly ill-prepared' an AIDS 'dissident' interviewed
		During President Mbeki's presidential AIDS panel meeting in late June, it was embarrassing to see how ill-prepared with their statistics and data the members of the orthodoxy actually were.
		So says dissident AIDS scientist and economic historian Charles Geshekter, one of the scientists on the presidential AIDS panel, in an interview with iClinic on Tuesday.
		Geshekter says that the dissident group simply sought to clarify the data the mainstream scientists were presenting, but could not get the assurances they asked for.

		It is hard to believe that a scientist could make such a suggestion, but it is evident that the AIDS dissidents have gone on the offensive, particularly in Africa where Mbeki has given them such a public platform.
		Gazi insisted that his support for the use of AZT was based on "mountains of evidence" that the drugs significantly reduce the chances of an HIV-positive mother passing the virus on to her baby.

	Manto appoints Aids dissident
		She was referring to the minister's recent comments voicing solidarity with Mpumalanga MEC Sibongile Manana who was facing contempt of court charges, in which Tshabalala-Msimang said: "If she (Sibongile Manana) goes to prison, I'm going with her." De Lille said one did not need a "rocket scientist" to advise the government on nutrition.
		In her reaction, Kalyan said the decision to appoint Giraldo as an adviser to the government was "the latest in a long series of blunders and gaffes on the minister's part".
		Among her recent gaffes was to tell a British newspaper that South Africa could not afford drugs to fight HIV or AIDS partly because it needed submarines to deter attacks from nations such as the United States, Kalyan said.
