New Brochure on AIDS Testing
SAN FRANCISCO (Rethinking AIDS), May 23, 2009 — The brochure outlines how tests for HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) or AIDS have no scientific basis and are useless as a diagnostic tool determining who will get AIDS, and describes the dangers of coming up positive on the tests. Read more...

AIDS ESTABLISHMENT PANICS
AT DEBUT OF 'HOUSE OF NUMBERS'
SAN FRANCISCO (Rethinking AIDS), May 11, 2009 — A major scientific dispute over AIDS science is threatening to hit the national radar, but not if John Moore can help it. The crusading professor from Cornell University is determined to have any mention that there is scientific dissent over the traditional views of AIDS silenced. He and several of his colleagues signed a letter saying they were "quoted out of context" in a new documentary film by Brent Leung — before they had even seen the film! Read more...

March 2009 — Rethinking AIDS board member Gordon Stewart has submitted evidence to the UK Independent Public Inquiry on Contaminated Blood and Blood Products:
If proof of isolation...is not available, the decisions to apply legal sanctions, court orders and compensation are wide open to questions about unreliable results, deceptions, duplicity, life-threatening delays and wrong awards.

Rethinking AIDS Correspondent Joan Shenton reviews the new book, Ten Lies About AIDS:
De Harven, together with his co-author, science writer Jean Claude Roussez, have written a book of remarkable clarity for the lay reader. Ten Lies about AIDS provides a lucid A to Z of the arguments De Harven and many other leading scientists have been propounding over the last 20 years to a deaf scientific orthodoxy and a rigidly politically correct gay establishment.
With a sense of palpable horror De Harven describes how his own peers have hoodwinked the scientific establishment over the identification of HIV.

A Los Angeles Mother
Is the Basis of "Law & Order" Episode
 October 2008 -- The episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit that aired Tuesday, Oct. 28 on NBC attempted to take on "AIDS denialism." The story centers on a character obviously based on Rethinking AIDS board member and Alive & Well founder Christine Maggiore. Maggiore's young daughter died in May 2005 of an amoxicillin reaction wrongly declared to be "AIDS." The factual and scientific errors in this TV show are too numerous to list here, but are discussed by Christine Maggiore and RA President David Crowe at HowPositiveAreYou.com: You can watch the episode for yourself here. Pure propaganda? The CDC knows that most people believe statements about medical issues made by fictional characters on TV shows, and the organization works hard to make sure as many shows as possible include their propaganda.

Intimidation and Lies
U.S. Tax Dollars at Work at
Los Alamos National Laboratory
July 2008 — Clark Baker, a retired Los Angeles Police officer, has identified Brian Foley, an employee of the U.S. government's Los Alamos National Laboratory, and at least two others, as the source of harassing and libelous e-mails, has filed a criminal compaint against one, and is threatening a lawsuit. The e-mails sought to discredit Baker's publicity role in the May 2008 Semmelweis Society "Clean Hands" Award, presented to Dr. Peter Duesberg and Celia Farber. Baker writes that decades of intimidation of scientists questioning HIV/AIDS have hurt incalculable numbers of people and damaged public health and trust, adding on his blog:
"After having investigated thousands of crimes and arrested hundreds of criminal gang members and other assorted predators, I know a criminal enterprise when I see one. HIV/AIDS makes Enron look like a neighborhood poker game."
Baker's report is available here and has been re-posted here and here. A PDF version is available here.

Heterosexual AIDS Epidemic

Press Release — June 27, 2008WHO Says That Only Africa Has a Heterosexual AIDS Epidemic — Why?SAN FRANCISCO (Rethinking AIDS) June 27, 2008 — According to a June 8, 2008, report in The Independent, Dr. Kevin De Cock, the head of AIDS efforts at the World Health Organization (WHO) has said that the threat of a heterosexual AIDS pandemic is officially over and that decades of predictions that AIDS would spread through general populations across the globe were wrong . . . except in Sub-Saharan Africa. Why a heterosexual AIDS epidemic there and not here? According to former leading WHO epidemiologist James Chin, it's because Africans are uniquely promiscuous, engaging in multiple, concurrent sexual relationships, and also because African men are uncircumcised. Do scientific studies support the conclusion that Africans are an especially promiscuous people? And if the majority of males throughout the world are uncircumcised, why does naturally occurring male anatomy lead to AIDS only in Africa?

On February 14, 2008, Rethinking AIDS distributed a shortened version of the following objection to the (Product) RED art auction at Sotheby's in New York City, to patrons entering the building. Organized by Irish rock star Bono as part of a popular product-licensing program, the auction sought to raise money for The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria by selling art including a red balloon animal expected to fetch up to $1.2 million.  Who could possibly object to that?
- On scientific grounds . . .
- On moral grounds . . .
- On compassionate grounds . . .
- On grounds of artistic taste and responsibility . . .

Crumb, who states: A lot of things fell into place about AIDS and HIV when I read [Christine Maggiore's book]...and over the years I've done my own investigation, because if you blithely assert to people that you suspect that HIV doesn't cause AIDS, they just say, "What are you crazy?
