NEWS UPDATE: Shameless AIDS Paradigm Defenders Stand in Way of Ending ‘HIV Criminalization’
April 23, 2015–Just in time for “Rethinking AIDS Day” a/k/a “AIDS Fraud Day,” the 31st anniversary of the famous press conference announcing a virus as the “probable cause of AIDS,” a group of doctors working for the very same Dr. Robert Gallo are draining the Office of Medical and Scientific Justice (OMSJ) of the resources needed to continue defending the landmark case that has effectively ended “HIV criminalization” in the U.S.
The case of Air Force Technical Sergeant David Gutierrez was the subject of our Episode 97.

Comment (0)Episode 99: Down the Rabbit Hole with J. Todd DeShong of ‘HIV Innocence Group Truth,’ Supporting Bobby Russell’s Lawsuit but ‘Deconstructing’ his Investigator
Curiouser and curiouser . . . “HIV Innocence Group Truth” blogger J. Todd DeShong says he supports Bobby Russell’s lawsuit against his University of Kentucky doctors for the careless practices that led to his false-positive “HIV” diagnosis, but he is not so sure about Clark Baker and the Office of Medical and Scientific Justice (OMSJ), the investigative agency that made that lawsuit possible. It’s not an attack; it’s a “deconstruction.” And we’re not talking about those tests and how misleading they are, even though DeShong is a lab professional who runs diagnostic tests for hospitals and says he is working toward a master’s degree in molecular diagnostics. The tests are “off topic,” he says.
Listen as the distinctions here get finer and finer, more than “How Positive Are You” co-host Elizabeth Ely can comprehend. Isn’t this how sociopaths work? Continue reading »
Comment (0)Episode 97: The ‘Gutierrez’ Decision Ends the ‘HIV Criminalization’ Era, Says Attorney Kevin McDermott
Just like that, about 25 years of risking an “aggravated assault” or similar charge for not informing a sexual partner that you’re “HIV positive” are effectively over. On February 23, 2015, the highest U.S. military court judged the risk of contracting “HIV” from sex as so low that it is no longer a serious crime not to tell sexual partners. Attorney and ex-Marine reservist Kevin McDermott talks to “How Positive Are You” co-host Elizabeth Ely about the decision in United States v. Gutierrez and how it might affect civilian as well as military cases.
The U.S. armed forces mandate “HIV testing” of all active-duty personnel every six months. Testimony in similar court cases has revealed low standards for this testing — and on more health conditions than “HIV.” This has been devastating to the lives, health, careers, reputations, retirement benefits and families of thousands who serve their country. We urge all, inside and outside the military, to review the limitations of HIV testing. Continue reading »
Comments (2)Episode 64: Thomas Shevory and the Nushawn Williams Lynching
Thomas Shevory is author of the 2004 book, “Notorious HIV: The Media Spectacle of Nushawn Williams.” He gives David and Elizabeth a lot of background on the case and discusses the upcoming civil trial that could see Nushawn, whose sentence expired two years ago, locked up in a mental institution for the rest of his life. Does this shock you? It should . . . especially since the Office of Medical and Scientific Justice (OMSJ) has found there is no evidence that Williams has ever been HIV positive.

Comment (1)Episode 59: Mark Gabrish Conlan on Dangerous Virus or ‘Living With HIV’?
Is “HIV” a dangerous infection you shouldn’t get “complacent” about, or a matter of simply “living with HIV”? How does the medical paradigm reinforce the meanings and stories we give “HIV” — or anything else we call a disease? HEAL-San Diego founder and Zenger’s Newsmagazine publisher Mark Gabrish Conlan takes on the paradoxes of “AIDS” propaganda, giving his unique perspective as a queer community activist since the early 1980s.
