Rethinking AIDS


Does HIV cause AIDS
Mayank Tewari

The failure of a much sought-after vaccine against the virus has re-ignited an old debate. Mayank Tiwari explores the controversy

The recently reported pessimism among researchers over the failure of an AIDS vaccine has reignited a spectacular science controversy.
Is HIV the cause of AIDS?

Last September, AIDS researchers were dealt a heavy blow when clinical trials of the most promising candidate for an HIV vaccine were stopped after it turned out to be a dud.

The clinical trials showed that the vaccine might have put the people who received it at greater risk of infection rather than preventing HIV or reducing its effect. A survey of top AIDS scientists conducted by The Independent showed most believed a vaccine was nowhere near, with some even believing that effective immunization against HIV may never be possible.

  1. This is an interesting blog. You are posting things that are not widely discussed. If you are interested in AIDS Denial, like Rethinking AIDS, visit http://denyingaids.blogspot.com. Also read my new book Denying AIDS: Conspiracy Theories, Pseudoscience, and Human Tragedy... all of the royalties buy HIV meds in Africa.
