title: AIDS denialists: how to respond.
abstract: Theories like the belief that HIV is a harmless virus or does not exist (making precautions unnecessary), that AIDS is caused by the drugs used to treat it, or that the whole epidemic is a scam to sell pills and collect research grants, need better response from the medical, scientific, service, and activist communities. We are finding that persons influenced have often been unable to find anyone willing to defend any other view.
