Revision as of 22:58, 1 December 2005 by Caerwine (talk | contribs)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Christine Maggiore is an HIV positive activist and founder of Alive & Well AIDS Alternatives.
She challenges the scientific community with her belief that the HIV virus does not cause AIDS. She has given birth to 2 children since being diagnosed HIV positive in 1992. Although she has personally remained apparently healthy for over a decade without taking AZT or other anti-retroviral treatments, when her youngest daughter died at the age of 3 in 2005, a Los Angeles coroner ruled the death as caused by an AIDS related pneumonia. This diagnosis is currently under dispute and the parents have sought for a second opinion. Shortly after, the eldest son was tested for HIV, and was reported to be negative. Christine is currently embroiled in controversy (based on her own account and beliefs) that her children were not tested for HIV infection. Physicans close to the case have suggested that the daughters death was preventable if she had been tested for HIV.
