Meta Description

  • The content discusses the controversy around HIV's existence and its link to AIDS, the integrity of scientific research, and the impact of dissenting views.

Summary

  • This content discusses the need for an independent international committee to review the current theories and challenges surrounding HIV and AIDS. It highlights the concerns raised by scientists and researchers about the HIV theory and its impact on public health policies. The content emphasizes the importance of reassessing the current understanding of AIDS and calls for a cooperative effort to address the issue. It also mentions the failure of the war on AIDS and the need for a significant reappraisal of the HIV theory. The content suggests that a consensus conference or jury of independent individuals could be a suitable approach to address these concerns.

¥§ Of the 7766 Australian AIDS cases, 387 (5%) are reported in the "heterosexual contact" exposure category. However, 22 of these qualify on the basis of "Sex with injecting drug user", 35 "Sex with bisexual male", 56 "From high prevalence country" (where heterosexual spread is deemed dominant), 47 "Sex with HIV-infected person, exposure not specified", 170 "Not further specified". Thus injecting drug use, anal intercourse in women, the presumption of any form of sexual intercourse and lack of sufficient data question the mode of acquiring HIV infection in at least 330 (85%) of individuals listed in this exposure category.
