Look up the name of Dr. Peter Duesberg. He's the as$hat who's pushing the movement here in the US.\n\nAlso, there are plenty of the HIV tin-foil hat people here on Yahoo!. Just look for "Does HIV cause AIDS?" and I'm sure you'll find them.\n\nADDENDUM: watch me totally pwnz an anti-HIV conspiracy theorist here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Aku4IXG8IY3tKDdBW5Nfhhrsy6IX?qid=1006041703857\n\nFeel from to totally slaughter his ideas while you're in there.

even worse, it was fabricated completely- read "Inventing the AIDS virus" by Peter H. Duesberg- AIDS only exists as a profit center for unscrupulous drug manufacturers and medical practitioners.

lol they do not exist but i am sure they would if they did get  aids. heck they are dead n e ways right so would it matter? i saw this thing on dateline where these freaks go around drinking ppls blood with implanted fangs thinking they are living the life of a vampire. some of them of corse had contracted aids.

It's gone.  The emergence of AIDS killed the brand's popularity and it was taken off the market.

Conspiracy theory about what?

I don't know! What I do know is that many video clips which are anti-Bush are disappearing!\n\nRemember the clip where Bush was talking to a correspondant and some illegals snuck over the fence behind him while they were talking?  That is gone! It's history! Wonder why?

He doesn't remember, but it was with a woman.  He's had HIV for over 10 years.\n\nHe basically dipped his stick into too many skanks....

They are too busy worrying about a "wardrobe malfunction" and the FCC, to worry about finding truth. \nOr maybe Jack Nicholson said it best in a "Few Good Men".. "Truth? I'll tell you about truth- you can't handle the truth" \nor something to that effect. It is called disinformation, and the media is doing a great job of that.

I thought this was an amazing article. It was just published a few days ago:\n\nWASHINGTON - Twenty-five years after the first AIDS cases emerged, scientists have confirmed that the HIV virus plaguing humans really did originate in wild chimpanzees, in a corner of Cameroon.\n\nSolving the mystery of HIV’s ancestry was dirty work. Scientists employed trackers to plunge through dense jungle and collect the fresh feces of wild apes — more than 1,300 samples in all.\n\nBefore that, it took seven years of research just to develop the testing methods to genetically trace the primate version of the virus in living wild chimps without hurting the endangered species.\n\nUntil now, “no one was able to look. No one had the tools,” said Dr. Beatrice Hahn of the University of Alabama at Birmingham. She led the team of international researchers that reported the success in Friday’s edition of the journal Science.\n\n“We’re 25 years into this pandemic,” Hahn said. “We don’t have a cure. We don’t have a vaccine. But we know where it came from. At least we can make a check mark on one of those.”\n\nScientists long have known that nonhuman primates carry their own version of the AIDS virus, called SIV or simian immunodeficiency virus. But with one exception, it had been found only in captive chimpanzees, particularly a subspecies that in the wild populates mostly West Africa.\n\nIt was not known how prevalent the virus was in chimps in the wild, or how genetically or geographically diverse it was, complicating efforts to pin down the jump from animal to man.\n\nHahn’s team tested chimp feces for SIV antibodies, finding them in a subspecies called Pan troglodytes troglodytes in southern Cameroon.\n\nChimps tend to form geographically distinct communities. By genetically analyzing the feces, researchers could trace individual infected chimps. The team found some chimp communities with infection rates as high as 35 percent, while others had no infection at all.\n\nEvery single infected chimp had a common base genetic pattern that indicated a common ancestor, Hahn said.\n\nThere are three types of HIV-1, the strain of the human virus responsible for most of the worldwide epidemic. Genetic analysis let Hahn identify chimp communities near Cameroon’s Sanaga River whose viral strains are most closely related to the most common of those HIV-1 subtypes.\n\n“The genetic similarity was striking,” Hahn said.\n\nThe first human known to be infected with HIV was a man from Kinshasa in the nearby country of Congo who had his blood stored in 1959 as part of a medical study, decades before scientists knew the AIDS virus existed.\n\nPresumably, someone in rural Cameroon was bitten by a chimp or was cut while butchering one and became infected with the ape virus. That person passed it to someone else.\n\nThe Sanaga River long has been a commercial waterway, for transporting hardwood, ivory and other items to more urban areas. Eventually, someone infected made it to Kinshasa.\n\n“How many different transmission events occurred between that initial hunter and this virus making it to Kinshasa, I don’t know. It could have been one, it could have been 10, it could have been 100,” Hahn said. “Eventually, it ended up in an urban area, and that’s where it really got going.”\n\nSomewhere in all that spread, the virus became more deadly to people than it is to chimps, who seldom are bothered much by SIV.\n\nThe research seems to settle any question of HIV’s origin, said Dr. Anthony Fauci, the National Institutes of Health’s AIDS chief.\n\nWhen tracing a virus’ evolution, “it’s important to get as close to the source as you can,” he said. “It’s of historic interest.”

The are not anywehre near as active as they once were...but they pop out from under their rocks every once in a while.   Personally I never understood how a group that claims to be white supremist can follow a religion founded in the Middle East by the followers of a Jewish man.   They haven't been a group capable of doing much since the 70's.   That's when the last of the leaders with any actual inteligence was around.    While I never agreed with any of their ideas, at least back then they acually had formulated ideas based in something other than simple racial bigotry.   Back then their bigotry was born from their understanding (flawed though it was) of social and economic influences, biblical verse and misinterpreted scientific theory, and they could explain it logically.   Now their bigotry is just that...with no rhyme or reason beyond racial hatred.   Hopefully, in a couple more generations they will disappear alltogether, and good riddance I say...

i do know that they have sponsored gay pride rallies in the past,but do not anymore.\n\nMirium B! can you come up with something else to justify your hate besides that lame onliner?im guessing not,typical hater.

Naturopathic doctors have been treating HIV with natural compounds for years the only reason you don't hear more about them is that they are suppressed by the FDA who are in cahoots with the big drug companies only because they can't \npatent a natural substance. Look at colloidal silver, olive leaf concentrate and grapefruit seed extract online and decide for yourself.

You're right...The movie Forrest Gump did have AIDS in it--"Jenny", his love, got AIDS from her alternative lifestyle (unprotected sex, intervenous drug use). They don't say "AIDS" in the movie, but she describes the symptoms and the lack of any treatment, which is what AIDS treatments started with back in in the early '80s. Obviously there is no cure--yet. Many people, including some in the government, thought that AIDS was an affliction of the Gay Community and drug users and wasn't important for "normal," heterosexual people, that is, until the heterosexual community started developing the disease as well. Children developed AIDS from being born to HIV positive mothers who got the disease from their unfaithful husbands, young people contracted it from their dentists, etc. It is a horrible disease and brought a real halt to promiscuous behavior that had predominated in the 1960s and 1970s. There was quite a stigma about AIDS for many years and there was a real fear about "catching" it from casual contact with people. Television tried to deal with this with television movies, sitcoms, news broadcasts, 60 Minutes program...the list goes on and on. Mainstream movies about AIDS continue this tradition. When Liz Taylor comforted her gay friend, Rock Hudson, who was a dying of the diesase in 1985, I know many were shocked that she would put herself in such danger (she's still alive, as far as I know, 20+ years later). "Magic" Johnson, the basketball player, came out with the news he was HIV-positive and the media had a field-day with it--other BB players were concerned that he might have infected them by sweating on them. Princess Diana was quite instrumental in getting the issue of compassionate care of AIDS victims to the forefront. She too defied "common sense" and comforted AIDS patients by holding their hands and stroking their hair, etc. These images were broadcast worldwide. I remember as a teenager then thinking that she must be very brave. In effect, she was much more informed than the rest of us. My 2nd cousin died of AIDS. Hope I've helped...Good luck with your assignment!

HIV IS A REALATIVELY NEW DISEASE. I THINK THAT OUR SCIENTISTS AND MEDICAL PROFFESIONALS ARE DOING WHAT THEY CAN TO TRY AND COME UP WITH A SOLUTION THAT CAN HELP COMBAT HIV. WHAT WE NEED TO REALIZE IS THAT THIS WILL TAKE TIME AND MONEY BEFORE A TRULY EFFECTIVE MEDICINE WILL BE MARKETED. GIVE THEM TIME.

I dont know why you think anyone on a genric site like 'yahoo answers' would really know if there was a secret conspiracy in the US government/NASA.\n\nALL the so called 'inconsistancies' in the 'moon hoax conspiracy theory' have been answered time and time again, but the lunatic fringe insist on trotting out the same old (non) evidence\nthis site answers most of their rubbish:\nhttp://www.badastronomy.com/bad/tv/foxapollo.html\n\nI say "Most of the rubbish", because you can never really tell what new 'fact' a hoax-nutter is going to pull out of their a*se next.

It's not a theory anymore.... it's a part of folklore and fairy tales and science-fiction fantasies. There were a few brief periods where hollow-earthers advanced their far-fetched ideas - all of them are now debunked.

Geez, can't you find a beter conspiracy than that?\n\nOr, is it that the complete lack of evidence is only further proof the conspiracy is working?
