The opportunism is found in the alliance between the AIDS Establishment and various generic pharmaceutical manufacturers -- most of them, interestingly enough, in India -- who would like to hijack the patents that are applied to the relatively small number of AIDS medicines. These generic manufacturers are renowned for their indifference to quality, just as the NGO distributors are renowned for their indifference to actual cures. Instead, the main goal seems to be simply to crank out medicines, ignoring the hard-learned reality that poor treatment for an infectious disease is often worse than no treatment, because the pathogen is allowed to mutate into an even more virulent strain. Such accelerated evolution, of course, could yet turn the AIDS virus into much more of a killer than it already is. (link)(Via)
I'm not sure how valid this claim is. He's suggesting that there is a world wide wide conspiracy by the AIDS establishment and Pharmaceuticals to perpetuate the AIDS epidemic by not stressing Lifestyle changes as a means of combatting the decease. Conspiracies usually only work when an elite few are involved. He's talking about hundreds and hundreds of people... There would be evidence of it if that is true... Maybe there is though until I see it I'm not going to get all tinfoil hattish.
The point is that for whatever reason, the AIDS establishment seems unable to consider any other strategy for fighting AIDS then to proliferate condoms like mad. It hasn't shown results. Stressing Abstinence on the other hand has, in countries like Uganda...
