HIV Doesn’t Cause AIDS

There is overwhelming and compelling evidence to support the thesis that HIV causes AIDS. The band of dissident scientists (or “denialists”), who do not believe that HIV causes AIDS, are in fact a tiny minority in comparison to those who support orthodox science. Unfortunately their views have been disseminated and popularised by the media as some sort of a credible alternative to orthodox science and they have also used the Internet to further their agenda.

Denialists like vitamin promoter Matthias Rath denounce ARVs and propagate the use of high dosages of vitamin supplements as an alternative, but there is no credible evidence to support his claims.
