My father thought it was a hoax, and there are doctors not on that list that think it's a hoax too.
If breast cancer was cured, Ms Komen would have to find another gig that paid a half-million a year.
My experience with HIV and drug abuse is small, but I do know this. A former associate had gone to the hospital VERY ill. His immune system was GONE! When he stopped freebasing cocaine, his immune system returned.
Overheard a gentleman being treated for AIDS talking to a musician. Mr Aids patient hadn't stopped doing coke, speed, MDMA, or any of the other hard drugs I would suspect would suppress his immune system. Oh well, the cocktail of AZT and others would surely kill him regardless. Might as well die high.
