The commercially available tests for “HIV positivity” or “viral load” have never been validated to the presence of live, infectious virus in human blood. read more »

Ever wonder what happens to those medical and law-enforcement professionals who get jabbed with needles, spat on or bitten by “HIV-positive” patients, suspects and others? “How Positive Are You” co-host and Rethinking AIDS president David Crowe used his position on Internet radio show “The Infectious Myth” to interview former sheriff’s deputy Edmond McNack, last visited by HPAY in April 2010, in an Episode that has unfortunately lost its audio.
