It would be laughable if it weren't so destructive.

'I'm going to go on a world-wide journey to uncover the truth about HIV/AIDS...'

As far as I could tell, the director went to South Africa and a couple of European cities, and got an HIV/AIDS test done. Wow. Compelling stuff. (sarcasm)

I have to say I went into this with an open mind, but this was sheer bollocks. Anyone who watches this and thinks a few slapped together interviews and some 'fine print' at the bottom of a pamphlet suggesting 'further testing should be done' is "proof" that HIV/AIDS may not actually be real should have his/her head examined.

This has to be the most ridiculous piece of garbage I have ever seen. And, I had hoped that maybe we could have a real discussion about AIDS and treatment and what more we could be doing. Instead, it's just a blatant anti-Gay agenda from a con artist. "Oh poppers! That's what causes AIDS!" Utter rubbish.

The poster believes it was anti-gay for the mere suggestion that lifestyle was the main factor, which was what was originally believed about Aids (Grid).

The truth is that Aids was always and will always be a gay disease. You can't play ostrich and pretend that it's non-discriminatory when the overwhelming majority of the infected and those spreading it are gay men. We can't go only lying forever. It's time to face the facts.

Can you give us some specifics so you might get rebutted? Just making blatant general statements of "utter rubbish" (You just be British) isn't an argument.

BTW, Poppers were known to cause KS.
