A dissenting account of HIV and AIDS debates

Joan Shenton’s book collects arguments challenging the mainstream scientific account of HIV and AIDS. This anniversary edition combines the original late-1998 text with later updates and contributions from journalists, writers, scientists, and clinicians. It also includes the script of the 2014 documentary *Positive Hell* and a withdrawn 2009 paper by Peter Duesberg and co-authors. The volume is framed around disputes over explanations for AIDS and the interpretation of research, presenting a critical perspective rather than a consensus overview.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers studying disputes around HIV and AIDS research and public communication.
  • For readers interested in critical perspectives on established scientific explanations.
  • For readers seeking a collection that includes journalism, commentary, and documentary material.

Book overview

In the 30 years since 'HIV' was announced as the probable cause of AIDS we are no closer to a vaccine or cure. Scientists and clinicians who question the widely held belief that 'HIV' is the cause of AIDS hold fast to their position that multiple factors can be attributed to the illnesses defined as AIDS which continue to afflict specific communities and risk groups, and that billions of dollars and millions of lives have been wasted over a retrovirus that is either harmless or may not even exist. This 16th Anniversary Edition of Positively False: Exposing the Myths around HIV and AIDS from award-winning tele-journalist Joan Shenton features the original late 1998 text with updates and contributions from 20 journalists, writers, scientists and clinicians who present critical arguments challenging the current scientific orthodoxy. They include Henry H. Bauer, Christian Fiala, Neville Hodgkinson, David Crowe, Celia Farber, John Lauritsen and David Rasnick. Also features the script of the 2014 documentary Positive Hell and renowned molecular biologist and pioneering critic Peter Duesberg et al.'s withdrawn 2009 paper for Medical Hypotheses.
