RODNEY RICHARDS, Ph.D.:
Why the
Thanks so much for posting this important information! I worked with PWAs, and many have had positive HIV tests that subsequently turned negative. One teenager had a positive HIV test despite having no risk factors.
Sadly, once people receive a HIV+ diagnosis, they mentally think they are going to die, and know nothing about the inaccuracies of the tests.
Unfortunately, many people die from the deadly side-effects of AIDS drugs, which are given to people on the basis of a faulty test.
Isn't it true that the same test is used on animals to test for hoof and mouth disease?
