Today, not everyone knows who an HIV dissident is. Such a person carries a certain danger to society. There are many cases when it was these people who not only posed a threat to others, but also caused the death of both adults and children. Our article provides information that will help protect yourself and your loved ones.
What is HIV and AIDS?
Almost everyone knows about HIV and AIDS. These stages of the disease are told from an early age. Despite this, not everyone knows all the features of the disease.
The human immunodeficiency virus is a disease that progresses rather slowly. The disease causes a weakening of the immune system, which then ceases to protect the body from infections and neoplasms. Such a disease is caused by a virus.
The HIV stage is characterized by the development of other infections and cancers. This process is called acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Its development can be significantly slowed down if treatment is started in time.
First information about HIV andAIDS appeared more than 30 years ago. The general features of the virus are known to everyone. This is no coincidence, because the disease is spreading rapidly, and the cure for it has not yet been invented. There are several versions of the formation of the virus. Some believe that he is a consequence of the experimental work of scientists who wanted to create a powerful biological weapon, while others believe that he appeared after unprotected sexual intercourse between a man who ended up on a deserted island and a monkey.
It is known that today more than 50 million people are carriers of the virus. It can be transmitted from a sick person to a he althy person through blood, seminal fluid and mother's milk. Today, scientists from all over the world are trying to create a cure for HIV and AIDS. At the moment, there are drugs that slow down the development of the virus. In order to protect yourself, you should know all the ways of its transmission. Remember! The virus is not transmitted through shaking hands or sharing eating utensils.
HIV and AIDS dissidents. Who are they?
Today, few people know who an HIV dissident is. Who it is, you can find out in our article. This information will allow you to correctly respond to the arguments and statements of such people. Thanks to this, you will be able to protect your he alth.
HIV dissidents are people who deny the existence of the virus. There are also those who believe otherwise. Some dissidents argue that HIV and AIDS are not related. In many countries such people are called deniers.diseases.
It is known that many people who deny the existence of the virus are themselves sick with it. Many experts argue that this point of view is associated with changes in the body after the acquisition of the disease and the unwillingness to accept them. This is a kind of protective mechanism that works on a psychological level. It is worth noting that those people who have alcohol or drug addiction most often deny the virus. This is no coincidence, because under the influence of harmful substances their psyche noticeably weakens over time.
Some HIV dissidents are extremely negative about drugs that significantly slow down the development of the disease. They believe that such medicinal substances are incredibly toxic and should never be taken. Often sick pregnant girls also believe in this. There are many cases when an HIV dissident stopped giving his child medicine, believing in its danger, and as a result of such a decision, the children died. The government is actively fighting this movement. So far, however, all attempts have been unsuccessful. HIV dissidents are always aggressive, deny any other point of view and do not accept criticism. They are persuasive enough that they always refer to supposedly scientific evidence to influence other people's opinions.
History of the creation of the movement
Today, HIV dissidence poses a real threat to society. The history of the issue dates back to the last century. There was a movement almost immediately after the emergence of the virus. Exact dateunknown.
Already in 1997, Antal Makk spoke at the Eighth International Congress of Physicians Who Are Naturopaths. He presented a report on scientific research related to AIDS and also talked about natural treatment options. Already at that time in the world there were a large number of not only ordinary people, but also scientists who denied the existence of the virus. Deniers believe $500 billion spent researching the disease and trying to create a cure.
All the arguments of HIV dissidents in the last century converged to the fact that the disease was created artificially in order to make money on the drug. Antal Makk's speech was instantly published in many publications. Around the same time, a large number of books were written that denied the existence of the virus. These include the publication of P. Duesberg, which was released in 1997.
Connection of dissidents with the church. Active action by people who deny HIV and AIDS
HIV dissidence is a denial movement in which its supporters do not believe in the existence of the immunodeficiency virus and convince others of this. Some of them argue that AIDS may be due to alcohol and drug addiction, promiscuity, stress and homosexuality. They believe that it is urgent to ban the distribution of special drugs to slow the development of the disease. According to them, they significantly reduce immunity and thus cause AIDS.
Sometimes the point of view of HIV dissidents can be heard in church. In this casethe clergyman reads sermons about the need to pray regularly and ask God for help, and not rely on any drugs. HIV/AIDS dissidents rely on church support. However, their point of view among the clergy is extremely rare.
Dissidents regularly write appeals to various authorities. Few people know, but they submitted an application to the apparatus of the government of the Russian Federation. They demanded that funding for HIV-related research be stopped.
Any HIV dissident is trying by any means to convey to society that the immunodeficiency virus is a myth. It should be noted that among the Russian activists there are no scientists who are actively involved in virology. All of them refer to foreign experts. First of all, dissidents try to get their point across to those who have been diagnosed. They argue that the drugs prescribed to the patient negatively affect the body and worsen the condition. Some of the sick, being in despair, not only begin to believe in such a point of view, but also completely refuse treatment.
Active actions by virus deniers are not accidental. HIV dissidence brings them a considerable amount of money. We will tell you about all the methods of earning them a little later.
Cases of negative impact of dissidence on one's own and others' he alth
HIV dissidents and their children are a huge danger to others. It is known that the Sverdlovsk region is the first region of the Russian Federation in which a society of people who denythe existence of the virus. To date, there have been more than five deaths among children who died through their fault. The lives of more than 10 minors are at risk. HIV dissidents who have AIDS knew their children were infected, yet refused treatment. As a rule, all juveniles' condition noticeably deteriorated and almost all eventually ended up in intensive care. Many could not be saved. The lives of 11 children are in question.
The first case of negligent treatment was registered in the Sverdlovsk region about two years ago. Then the mother, who neglected the he alth of her child, was sentenced. The court decided to send her to a settlement colony.
Today, about a million HIV-positive people are registered in Russia. Some of them deny the fact of the disease. HIV dissidents and their children are dangerous for a reason. Denying their diagnosis, they do not adhere to safety measures. Unprotected intercourse or contact with their blood can cause infection.
Dissidence is also found among famous people. Tommy Morrison is an actor who starred in Rocky V. The actor and boxer in one person died at the age of 44. Tommy contracted HIV at the age of 23-24. The actor did not believe that he was sick, and did not take any action. In the last year of his life, Morrison did not feel well enough. However, his relatives refused to name the reason for this deterioration. The actor was diagnosed in 1995. For a long time, he did not even tell his relatives about this, because he did not believe in it.
When the actor's career began to decline, he began to abuse alcohol and often drove while intoxicated. In 2000 he was convicted. After his release, he publicly announced the diagnosis and then added that it was wrong. Later, his relatives said that Tommy Marrison is an HIV dissident and denies the existence of the virus. He was not treated, despite the persuasion of relatives and friends. For the last year of his life, the actor could not walk and eat well. Nutrition entered the body through a special tube.
In January of this year, several cases of the birth of children with the virus from HIV-positive mothers were recorded in the Tyumen region. Parents were warned about the diagnosis, but they refused treatment, assuring that there was no such disease. Experts say that if HIV-infected pregnant women started treatment, then it is possible to give a 98% chance that children would be free of the congenital virus.
HIV dissidence activists often create groups on popular social networks. There they share their experience and try to convince other users that the virus does not exist. It is not uncommon for groups to include HIV dissidents who have died of AIDS. As a rule, information about a fatal outcome is reported by relatives or acquaintances. However, like-minded people of the deceased immediately refute the cause of death and claim that their "classmate" died due to the intervention of doctors. We strongly recommend that you do not attend such groups, much less communicate with dissidents.
Waysearnings of HIV dissidents
Today, HIV dissidence is not only a movement, but also a way to earn money. Some deniers have been known to offer their services for a fee. They promise to help figure out how to get rid of the disease with folk remedies, or perform any rituals.
One of the most popular scammers is Vyacheslav Borovskikh. He is the director of the Rehabilitation Center "Ascetic". He offers an online consultation, which will cost the sick person 2,000 rubles. He believes that the existence of the virus is a world conspiracy that was invented to prevent overpopulation of the planet.
Gore Schilder is another scammer. He lives in Ukraine. 16 years ago, he opened a private clinic in which he promises to help anyone who wants to get rid of incurable diseases. Surprisingly, Gore Schilder does not believe in the existence of AIDS, yet he offers to get rid of it in his clinic. This is the first thing that should alert someone who wants to contact such a specialist.
Gore Schilder claims he can completely heal any patient. The cost of treatment ranges from 500 to 900 thousand rubles. The amount depends on the selected drug and its manufacturer. 7 years ago, the director of the clinic gave an interview to Russian journalists. He said that he had already cured two patients with HIV-positive diagnosis. However, there is no information confirming this fact.
It's no secret that today there is no such drug that would completely get rid of immunodeficiency, all drugs canonly significantly slow down its development. We strongly do not recommend contacting specialists who promise complete healing. This is a waste of money, effort, nerves and time.
The HIV vaccine will help you live as long as possible with a diagnosis. What AIDS dissidents say about this is not a secret for every doctor. It is for this reason that, if there is a point of view of denial, the psychologist talks to the patient. However, it is extremely rare to convince such a patient.
Vadim Kozlovsky's experience
Former HIV dissidents often share their stories. Vadim Kozlovsky tells his biography without hesitation in order to protect others from mistakes. The young man had been addicted to drugs for a long time. He was admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of hepatitis. He took treatment but continued to use drugs as well. A few months later he received a call from the clinic and was asked to retake the test. When Vadim found out that he was HIV-positive, he was not upset, because the addiction did not allow him to live a full life. He learned about his diagnosis 15 years ago.
In 2007, he felt a strong deterioration in the state of the body. He had constant headaches and weakness. Despite this, he continued to take drugs. Soon he turned to a specialized center, where he was prescribed treatment, which was supposed to slow down the development of the virus. Vadim began to undergo therapy and regularly visited the doctor for tests. His condition has improved markedly.
In 2012 Vadimstopped using drugs. Quite by chance, on the Internet, he stumbled upon a society of AIDS dissidents. After reading all the information, he stopped taking the drugs. He was convinced that the reason for his deterioration in the body was drug abuse.
A month after refusing therapy, Vadim began to notice bruises on his body and general weakness. At first, he sought support among dissidents. They made sure everything was fine. In their opinion, the drug is a powerful drug, and such a reaction of the body indicates its purification from toxic substances.
Vadim passed the test, hoping for a significant improvement. However, after looking at the results, the doctor immediately found out that the dissident had stopped taking the drugs. He had a conversation with him and talked about all kinds of risks. Fearing to die, Vadim resumed treatment and changed his point of view. He also announced this on a social network to people who convinced him to stop taking the drugs. HIV dissidents stopped communicating with him. The truth about HIV and AIDS that Vadim told was not liked by those who deny the disease. They claimed he was paid to change his mind.
Today, HIV dissidents have become widely known among doctors. 2016 is associated with the beginning of an active fight against them. This year, all communities in a major social network that impose on society the idea that the virus does not exist have been removed. The government also plans to introduce measures to deal with such people.
5 stages of perception of information about an incurable disease
Psychologists note 5 stages through whicha person is diagnosed with an incurable disease. The first one is denial. Everyone goes through this stage. However, in some it lasts a maximum of a week, while others deny the disease from several years to death. The second group includes dissidents. They are afraid to realize that they will have to use drugs every day for the rest of their days, and their life cycle will be significantly shorter than in he althy people.
At this stage, the sick person consoles himself with the thought that a medical error has occurred. He calls into question the qualification level of a specialist and analyzes. He tries to find some information on the Internet in order to calm himself. As a rule, people in the denial stage turn to psychics, healers and use alternative medicine.
In the second stage, the patient feels anger. He behaves aggressively and unrestrainedly. He blames others.
At the third stage, the sick person tries to "pay off" fate and God. He does good deeds, participates in charity events and helps others. At this stage, patients believe that by doing a good deed, they can get rid of the diagnosis as soon as possible.
At the fourth stage, the patient becomes depressed. He completely loses hope of recovery. At this stage, the patient shows apathy and indifference. It is at this point that suicide cases are most common.
At the last stage, a person fully accepts the changes in his body. He adapts to new conditions and finds meaning in life.
The most dangerousis the stage of denial, because, lingering on it for too long, a person risks dying a painful death. As a rule, dissidents turn to specialists when it is almost impossible to improve their he alth. People around who find out that a friend has a positive HIV test should by all means convince him that there is nothing to worry about if he undergoes therapy regularly. Only support from relatives and friends will allow you to pass the stage of denial as quickly as possible.
How to respond to HIV dissidents? Who determines the patient's point of view?
Many patients who find out they have an incurable disease try to prove otherwise at first. There are a large number of articles that tell that there is no virus. Such information gives the patient hope.
Experts recommend not to take seriously information that denies the existence of the virus. They recommend going to different clinics, as well as reading scientific reports that will allow you to find out the maximum amount of information about the disease. Thanks to this, one can reasonably assess the current situation.
Whether the patient adheres to the idea of denial or not depends primarily on the doctor. It is he who must report all the features of the disease. In the event that the patient does not want to undergo therapy, the doctor should in no case force him to do so. He should ask the patient to regularly take tests. In this case, the patient will periodically undergo examination and communicate with specialists,which sooner or later will convince him of the positive qualities of the treatment.
It is worth noting that sooner or later HIV dissidents become disillusioned with their movement. However, this happens only in one case - when the state of he alth has deteriorated greatly.
Summing up
Today, any HIV-dissident carries a direct danger. Who is it, you found out in our article. We strongly recommend that you do not maintain any contact with such people. In the case of an HIV-positive test, it is urgent to start treatment. Thanks to this, the development of the virus can be significantly slowed down. Stay he althy!
