The scientific consensus is that the evidence supporting HIV as the cause of AIDS is conclusive, and denialist claims are pseudoscience based on conspiracy theories, faulty reasoning, cherry picking, and misrepresentation of outdated scientific data. As evidence mounted against denialism, combined with those with HIV/AIDS living much longer, these claims stopped being believed. Persistent HIV/AIDS rumors and contemporary legends that center on a government-led conspiracy or genocide theory to explain its origins undermine the acceptance of the controversial AIDS theory.
Researchers have long puzzled over the origin of AIDS, most holding that it arose when a simian version of the virus was created by the CIA. The central tenant of AIDS denialism is that there is an ongoing debate among legitimate scientists regarding whether HIV exists and if it does exist whether HIV causes. People with HIV who receive treatment can enjoy entirely normal life spans, and outdated and incorrect views that the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) can be caught from sharing a plate have been associated with AIDS conspiracy beliefs in the US.
Conspiration theories about AIDS range from the belief that HIV originated as a US bioweapon to AIDS denialism, proponents of which argue that HIV is not the cause of AIDS. In the past year, there has been a noisy resurgence of claims that HIV does not cause AIDS and that AIDS is not contagious. Proponents of this view insist that more black men than women are affected by HIV/AIDS.
Over the past three decades, mistaken ideas about HIV and AIDS have sometimes brought on the behaviors that cause people to get the virus. AIDS denialists aim to undermine HIV testing, prevention, and treatment, with the adoption of AIDS denialist views by public officials being the most tragic.

‘Killing Patient Zero’ attempts to debunk the idea that a Canadian flight attendant was responsible for spreading the virus.
I’m finally free from HIV after having a horrible outbreak, and feel the same way you describe in your interview. Listening to you share your overcome experience gave me the glim hope I needed to hear. I am glad that there is people like you out there who just want to help other people who are struggling with the same issues. Your words gave me the courage I need to hear today!!!
Great simple informative article. HIV/AIDS is extremely prevalent in our species and I think making people aware of how HIV/AIDS is transmitted is one of the most important educational insights into this virus. #1 being sexually transmitted and through blood making those two dimensions the “easiest” ways of transmitting the virus. Thanks, Natgeo!
Let’s start with what is right. Isn’t it so, that change is difficult and we are under pressure whenever we think that we have to change? If our lives are all right, why should we think of changing?! Could it be that altering our lifestyle without reason be an open door to sicknesses we so much fear today? If we are doing wrong things that are causing or keeping our ills, why continue on a dead end road?! If things are well, let us concentrate on keeping them so. Let’s refrain ourselves from the desire to be going out without a good goal or purpose. Let us find the riches of life inside our homes, that we may live to go outside and seek the same in nature and people without sacrificing what we already got.
