  • ICASA 2019 Abstract Book
    Welcome Address /Allocution de Bienvenue Welcome address by ICASA President The International Conference on AIDS and STIs in Africa is once again here with us. It comes at a critical juncture when we hardly have any time left to actualize the bold ambition of ending AIDS by 2030. It also comes a year before the review of UNAIDS global 90-90-90 targets in 2020. True to its identity, the 2019 edition of the International Conference on AIDS and STIs in Africa promises to offer a strategic forum for Leaders, Activists, Scientists and the Community to engage and find solutions to our common health problems. The Conference will provide a platform to take stock of progress made towards achieving the 90-90-90 targets. It also offers us an opportunity to collectively reflect on Hepatitis, TB, Malaria, NCDs, emerging infections in Africa and the opportunities available for strengthening our health systems on the continent to tackle these diseases. Visionary leadership and collaboration have been central to the achievements made in the response to HIV and AIDS thus far in Africa and globally. ICASA 2019 provides us with opportunities to re-invigorate our African commitments as well as global solutions that will allow us pave the way for new and efficient innovations towards a generation without AIDS in Africa. The intersection of cutting-edge science, innovations, effective community models, funding dynamics and policy that will be provided by the conference is expected to contribute greatly to achieving an AIDS free Africa. As we share evidence and reflect on progress made, let us keep in mind that despite the availability of a widening array of effective HIV prevention tools and methods and massive scale-up of HIV treatment, domestic financing for the response remains sub-optimal.

  • Is HIV Really the Cause of AIDS?
    Is “HIV” Really the Cause of AIDS And Are There Really Only “A Few” Scientists Who Doubt This? Over 1,000 scientists, medical professionals, authors and academics are on record that the “HIV-causes-AIDS” theories, routinely reported to the public as if they were facts, are dubious to say the least. View the list “It’s not even probable, let alone scientifically proven, that HIV causes AIDS. If there is evidence that HIV causes AIDS, there should be scientific documents which either singly or collectively demonstrate that fact, at least with a high probability. There are no such documents.” Spin Magazine, Vol. 10 No.4, 1994 “The HIV-causes-AIDS theory is one hell of a mistake.” Foreword, “Inventing the AIDS Virus” “Years from now, people will find our acceptance of the HIV theory of AIDS as silly as we find those who excommunicated Galileo.” “Dancing Naked in the Mind Field,” 1998 “Where is the research that says HIV is the cause of AIDS? There are 10,000 people in the world now who specialize in HIV. None has any interest in the possibility HIV doesn’t cause AIDS because if it doesn’t, their expertise is useless.” “People keep asking me, ‘You mean you don’t believe that HIV causes AIDS?’ And I say, ‘Whether I believe it or not is irrelevant! I have no scientific evidence for it.’ I might believe in God, and He could have told me in a dream that HIV causes AIDS. But I wouldn’t stand up in front of scientists and say, ‘I believe HIV causes AIDS because God told me.’ I’d say, ‘I have papers here in hand and experiments that have been done that can be demonstrated to others.’ It’s not what somebody believes, it’s experimental proof that counts.
