Hiv/Aids denialism

HIV/AIDS denialism is the belief that HIV does not cause AIDS or that AIDS is not caused by the HIV virus. Some deny the scientific consensus, asserting that AIDS is due to other factors like lifestyle or medications, despite extensive evidence linking HIV to the development of AIDS. This denialism can lead to individuals rejecting necessary testing and treatment, increasing health risks. The consensus among scientists and healthcare professionals is that HIV is the cause of AIDS, and effective treatments exist that can manage the virus and prevent AIDS from developing.
