Publisher's summary

Four decades after And the Band Played On created an image of the AIDS epidemic that has survived in the public consciousness to this very day, mathematician Rebecca Culshaw is sounding the alarm that everything that iconic book told us about AIDS is demonstrably wrong. And that mistaken understanding of AIDS and its cause has the potential to affect all of us, not just certain so-called risk groups. In The Real AIDS Epidemic, Rebecca Culshaw describes her slow uncovering of these reasons over her years researching HIV for her work constructing mathematical models of its interaction with the immune system. It is rare that a researcher, having studied HIV, ever expresses any doubt in the paradigm, and an even rarer event still when she abandons the field altogether. Culshaw's book, updated from its original edition, which was titled Science Sold Out, is one of the great insider-turned-whistleblower stories of our time.

The Real AIDS Epidemic focuses on the politics of the changing definition of AIDS and the flaws in all HIV testing. In a much broader sense, it explains how the current government-based structure of scientific research has corrupted science as the search for truth. It offers not only scientific reasons for HIV/AIDS being untenable, but also sociological explanations as to how the theory was accepted by the media and the world so quickly. In particular, this book offers a scathing criticism of the outrageous discriminatory measures that have been leveled at HIV-positives from the inception. She also warns that the toxic drugs being foisted on the Black and gay communities constitute one of the worst medical violations of human rights since the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment.

The compelling case she makes that the AIDS establishment has led us into a biomedical disaster through incompetence, fraud, and deceit will have many listeners throwing their hands up and feeling helpless and hopeless. But she does something no other book that is critical about HIV and AIDS has done. She suggests a series of strategic actions the scientific community, Congress, the media, and the public can take to undo the damage that the powerful AIDS establishment has done since the epidemic began in 1981.

Critic reviews

“Culshaw's book is vital to illuminating the history of regulatory capture and science by decree from financial interests that have long controlled and manipulated the outcome of both medicine and public health.”—Robert F. Kennedy Jr., author of New York Times bestseller The Real Anthony Fauci

“In the AIDS war, the mathematicians played a unique and vital part. They're bound to reality, by definition. I'm happy to see Rebecca Culshaw return with this excellent book, that clarifies and reverses the immense HIV mythology. Her understanding transcends the scientific/mathematical though, such as this stunning, wounding, and very true line in her book: 'The HIV causes AIDS paradigm is at its heart racist and anti-gay.' Few people are as keenly attuned to all the facets of the HIV beast as Culshaw, and she brings new light to it all, with each page.”—Celia Farber, journalist and author of Serious Adverse Events

“An excellent account of the most shameful episode in the history of medicine. Rebecca Culshaw has pulled it all together: a history of inept and dishonest AIDS ‘science,’ the manifold reasons HIV cannot be the cause of AIDS, the harmfulness of AIDS drugs, the physical and psychological human suffering caused by the AIDS hoax.”—John Lauritsen, author of Poison by Prescription: The AZT Story and The AIDS War
