Don’t
be Fooled
Be suspicious of any claim that a product or treatment can cure or
prevent HIV or AIDS. Question any product or treatment that:
• is “guaranteed,” “secret,” or “suppressed.”
• is claimed to boost or enhance your immune system.
• requires or urges you to stop other prescribed treatments
or mediation.
• you're not supposed to talk about or tell your health care
provider about.
• is an “experimental” drug that you have to pay
for-experimental drugs and treatments are almost always
free to patients in drug studies or treatment.
• uses personal success stories or testimonials to sell the
product or treatment.
• is sold to cure or prevent cancer or other illnesses in addition
to HIV/AIDS.
• was discovered or tested in “another country.”
• comes with misinformation about how you can get or prevent
HIV/AIDS.
• mentions “conspiracy” e.g., by government, drug
companies, etc.
