An alliance of more than 30 organizations and 70 public health advocates are urging Simon & Schuster to stop the distribution of a book pushing both AIDS denialism and HIV/AIDS misinformation.
Called "The Real AIDS Epidemic: How the Tragic HIV Mistake Threatens Us All" by Rebecca Culshaw, the book "explains how the current, government-based structure of scientific research has corrupted science as the search for truth," per its synopsis. It also challenges the reporting in journalist Randy Shilts' 1987 book "And the Band Played On," which chronicles the emergence and spread of HIV/AIDS.
