I guess I would be kind of upset if everything I thought I knew about AIDS is wrong. But why bother to post this if everything I know about AIDS is NOT wrong. Do you have any proof that everything the government (and non-government scientists) tell us about AIDS is wrong? or is this just a hypothetical question?

There have been many books written and unfortunately published which blame entities such as the government, the medical community, or the pharmaceutical industry for the fact that over 40 million people worldwide are living with HIV/AIDS. These books are based on the authors' opinions, not on facts.
The fact is that countless scientists, both independent, university associated, and government sponsored have all done countless studies since the start of this epidemic. HIV has been proven to cause the disease that progresses to AIDS. Sound scientific studies have been done to research and develop new medications to treat HIV/AIDS. Look at the number of approved antiretroviral medications that are now available. Look at the number of people who are living long, healthy lives with HIV. Look at the accuracy of HIV testing and monitoring procedures.
Reading the kind of book that casts blame on others for "hiding" the facts will only keep you ignorant to what the true facts are, and will keep you at risk for falling prey to the disease yourself. Your reading time would be more helpful to you if you spent it at a reputable site, learning the truth about HIV/AIDS.

the government has the power and resources to research about the disease aids. so i don't think we don't question their authority. and the doctors also approves on their researches. however if everything i knew about aids was wrong then i demand the real facts. i deserve to know it. everyone deserves to know what aids is.
