To the editors:
If Dr. Duesberg is right, our paranoia may be totally useless. We will continue to have safe sex until science knows more. But nothing important is 100 percent certain. We have the right to enjoy the highest quality of life possible. We need to trust the “experts” who advise us. We need all the facts that “science” can offer us to make our own personal decisions. The idea that we may be suffering longer than necessary because of professional “turfism” makes me mad as hell.

My widowed dad won’t allow me to visit the home he shares with his present wife and their young son. He’s afraid that I’ll give them AIDS. No mind that science says you can’t get AIDS from casual contact. No mind that I am HIV negative. No mind that I have never been a “druggie.” No mind that I’m healthier and stronger than most people.
With $3 billion being invested around one central theory, it’s time for the public to demand that Dr. Duesberg’s and other significant theories be more thoroughly researched.
