World AIDS Day: AIDS Incorporated?

News by HOMOVISION on December 1, 2008 at 5:51 pm

It’s difficult to raise questions asking where the first medical reference that HIV is the cause of AIDS is, and who discovered this. Most people don’t realise; such a reference does not exist.

Whilst every sexually active gay man is urged to have a HIV test regularly, why are we not also told that a ‘HIV test’ is actually a test for antibodies, and it is advised (usually on the test packet itself) that it should not be used to confirm a diagnosis of HIV?

How is it possible for me to be diagnosed negative in London but positive in New York? Why do AIDS ‘therapies’ destroy health? Why are the symptoms of AIDS drugs confused with the symptoms of AIDS itself? Is it possible that AIDS could be caused by drugs? Is it possible that AIDS could be caused than more than one factor or thing? Why does the World Health Organisation publish and promulgate wildly incorrect statistics about AIDS in Africa?

Someone raising these questions would normally be ridiculed as being an AIDS deniar, which I am not, I want to present information to people in order to ennoble them to make their own educated conclusions with a balance of opinion, rather than the one sided politicised cash driven line that we are constantly fed.

Evidence

Here are just a couple of the many articles outlining the link between HIV and AIDS

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3126959

and perhaps most importantly, a study showing that HIV/AIDS conspiracy beliefs are a barrier to HIV prevention:

Hope this provides some of the 'research' and 'truth' which Keith calls for.

Keith, go bury your head in the sand, you obviously have shit for brains.

If anyone bothered to check themselves, they would see that there is NO proof that shows HIV causes AIDS, HIV has still never been found in a single human person.
The test is not even a test for HIV anti bodies, but its a test for NON SPECIFIC antibodies, that may or may not have anything to do with HIV.

Turn of your Tv, go do your own research, and find out the truth for yourself.

Did you not read, SHOCKED, The views expressed are not necessarily the views of HOMOVISION.TV. True Journalism is showing all sides to a story, though all may not agree with it. I don't agree with the message I've seen the effects first hand.

It doesn't make sense.

Why exactly do groups such as Act-Up still exist? That's what we need to be asking. Why are the numbers of AIDS cases rising EVERY YEAR, even when we're pumping more and more money into HIV charities around the world.

Martin

PS. And isn't it a bit hypocritical to criticise the author of the article whilst hiding behind a pseudonym. Shocked? I'm bloody mortified.

Martin

My views are probably very similar to Mary Whitehouse - and it's not often I'm likely to say such a thing - though personally I find it refreshing to see an alternative viewpoint on the subject of HIV and AIDS (a la Channel 4’s alternative queen’s speech every Xmas), one that invites debate, rather than just presenting as fait accompli the usual stories of, "we're all DOOMED, doomed I tell you... but you should still give all your money to AIDS charities as despite the vast evidence to the contrary they are actually doing a spiffing job..." which usual appear at this time of year.

Shocked

It is almost inconceivable that a website for gay men has published such a misinformed article in 2008. It shows incredible editorial irresponsibility given the rising rates of HIV amongst young gay men in this country and is remarkable that such poor journalism is being promoted, undoing the hard work of so many charities and HIV/AIDS activists. For men who have sex with men, this is no time for complacency, for misinformation and mistrust. As the epidemic appears to be taking hold ever more increasingly, particularly in London, it's time for consolidation and a coming together of the gay community to fight HIV not propagating such scaremongering and poor writing such as this which isn't worthy of the name 'journalism'.

This is a very nicely conveniently spliced mish mash of comments that are taken out of context from longer interviews. If you could show all the interviews it would take up about 6 hours of your time. These comments are from an outline of statements made over a number of years. Americans unfortunately succumb to conspiracy theories. One statement says Aids started in the gay community yet it has been proved to originate in Africa. It states that african women seem to be immune, yet official staements say 70% of African women have been diagnosed!
Peter Duesberg a famous viral scientist also questioned if viral flu was lethal.

Its easy to put the emphasis on drug companies, but they have and are still saving millions of lives. Celebrities may not know very much about HIV (in my experience they tend to know more than the average layman) but they have raised millions to help those with and affected.

This article is another form of scaremongering and I wonder if this is part of your performance art (which I find extremeley negative and another excuse to get government grants.......

Mary Whitehouse

As a gay man who is living and diagnosed this year with HIV, I find this video absoloutely disturbing that people can believe this codswollop.

Admittedly after 20 years they have not found a cure for HIV, and AZT was toxic, but the main reason for this was that it was one of the very first drugs to come out to fight against HIV.
Now there are a whole array of medicines authorised by the FDA , NICE etc to fight the HIV with minimal side effects.
I take Highly Active Retroviral medication which has now eliminated the virus to 'undetectable levels' within my blood and has assisted my body's immune system to strengthen. This doesn't however mean I'm cured as the virus can lie dormant within bodily tissues.

In the eighties, a group of gay men in Manchester believed that HIV was a con, that the virus doesn't exist etc. They refused treatment and campaigned against scientists.
Sadly, the majority of them died of AIDS as the HIV virus weakened their immune systems to a point where it could not fight oppertunistic viruses and cancers.
Whereas their counterparts who took medication have survived. Now go figure on that one.

People are dying out there, and to deny that this is just a myth is a very very dangerous route and I am rather surprised at you Dan at promoting this notion.
Every minute, 5 people world wide contract HIV, equally every minute 4 people die of AIDS.

I have lost a very close and dear friend due to HIV & AIDS and would not wish this pandemic to last any bit longer.
