Meta Description

  • Perth Group's views on HIV/AIDS are discussed, questioning the mainstream understanding. They face criticism but maintain their stance, citing published works.

Summary

  • This is a statement from the Perth Group regarding their views on "HIV/AIDS." They argue that the HIV theory of AIDS is flawed and provide evidence to support their claims. They suggest that experiments should be conducted to prove their theory wrong. The group also emphasizes that their public health policies align with those of HIV experts. They advocate for safe sexual practices, clean needles, and testing all blood and blood products. They mention that antiretroviral drugs do not prove the HIV theory of AIDS. The statement also discusses the issues with HIV antibody testing and its relationship to AIDS. Overall, the Perth Group challenges the mainstream understanding of HIV/AIDS and presents their alternative perspective.

1. Our public health policies accord with and in fact go beyond those of the HIV experts. Hence it is not possible we are dangerous.

We advocate:

a.  safe  safe sexual practices apply to passive anal intercourse with both HIV positive and HIV negative partners.

b.  clean  clean needles but the best option is no drugs and hence no need for needles.

c.   testing  testing all blood and blood products.

2. There are two old fashioned ways to prove we are pseudo-scientists:

a.  With  With great difficulty we have managed to publish papers in scientific journals. Such individuals, whoever they may be, should write to the editors of such journals submitting their evidence.

b.  Any  Any scientist who understands the cellular oxidation theory of AIDS will have no trouble designing experiments to prove our theory wrong. Montagnier seems to understand because he has long been an apologist12 for our theory, at least in Africa.28 The expertise required to perform such experiments falls well within the abilities of the HIV experts with access to a reasonably sized laboratory. In terms of AIDS funding the cost of such experiments would be trivial.
