AIDS does not exist?

Almost from the beginning of the outbreak of the AIDS epidemic in the United States and other countries, there was a group of scientists (among them even Nobel Prize winners), who argued that there was no AIDS in nature at all. Ostensibly an antibody test gives false positive result for rheumatism, flu and many other diseases. And then the person has to put a terrible diagnosis just kill highly toxic AIDS drugs. This group was called "AIDS dissidents".

They claimed that neither Robert Gallo, neither Luc Montagnier (the discoverers of AIDS) failed to demonstrate the image of the virus. What has been published in the journal, nothing more than a microbial dust. More than 15 million people, which has been put AIDS diagnosis   even in the 1980s, it is still alive, which is absolutely contrary to the laws of development of the disease. "AIDS dissidents" have argued that in Africa diagnosed with AIDS or HIV   put on such external features as exhaustion and heat, but for a hungry continent, these signs are always relevant. And in the poor Africans from the aircraft should be not to drop the box of condoms, and sacks of flour and rice.

"AIDS dissidents" even persuaded former South African President Thabo Mbeki to abandon the funding of the program AIDS treatment . But in recent years the movement died down, transformed into a new - "AIDS deniers." Now the existence of AIDS is not disputed, but argues that between HIV   AIDS, and there is no connection. And "breaking" the human immune system comes not from some kind of virus, and from drug use, stress, alcoholism and other causes.

According to experts from the Harvard School of Public Health from 2000 to 2005 in South Africa died of 330,000 adults and 35,000 children from AIDS as a result of the refusal of former President Mbeki, from the introduction of anti-viral drugs, based on the recommendations "AIDS dissidents". Now these people develop their activity with renewed vigor. US researchers believe that once deniers AIDS get to health care management, the tragic consequences come.
