AIDS Denialists & "Dissidents"

Critical Path AIDS Project invites people with HIV and other AIDS activists to familiarize themselves with the terms and tactics of AIDS denialists - a small but persistent constellation of individuals and organizations who believe that HIV is harmless, non-existent, and/or unable to cause the condition known as AIDS.

We also will add additional links delineating differences between the camps of denialists as well as tools for education against their claims.

While we would prefer to spend our time in more pro-active pursuits, we have had enough troubling experiences - ranging from discussions with critically ill individuals who were told by denialists that they should not allow medical providers to run blood tests to determine the cause of severe infections to experiences of threats and harassment from AIDS denialists - that we must recommend taking the time to limit the harm of these isolated groups and individuals.

AIDSTruth.org
This website presents the scientific evidence that HIV is the cause of AIDS and that benefits of antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) outweigh the risks. The website was created by research scientists and others engaged in the worldwide struggle against HIV/AIDS.


AEGIS
We also recommend that people with interest and time also go directly to the AEGIS site and search under "denialist," "dissident," and other relevant terms for additional articles and resources.
