Episode 6 - Rob A.

This is a recorded interview with Rob A. done in 1997 when he was living in Californis. Rob is unique in that he was part of the Hepatitis B vaccine trials that ran from 1979 to 1980, and there are those who believe that HIV was linked to these vaccine trials. Rob talks about his diagnosis as HIV-Positive in 1985 (and retroactively to 1979) and his experience in the Hepatitis trials, about his belief that HIV does not cause AIDS, and about his long-term non-progressor status without taking AZT or other HIV medications. He also describes what it was like in San Francisco in the early 1980s in the gay bath houses and the rampant use of antibiotics at that time. Rob confesses that he doesn't have a personal physician and explains his distrust of traditional western medicine. For more information, please go to www.livingwithouthivdrugs.com
