AIDSTruth.Org

This website uses the Internet not only to educate on HIV/AIDS, but to directly confront the claims of a small but vocal group of AIDS "dissenters" who attracted international attention by questioning whether HIV causes the disease.

Science magazine reports:

"Launched by AIDS researchers, clinicians, and activists from several countries, AIDSTruth.org offers more than 100 links to scientific reports to 'debunk denialist myths' and 'expose the denialist propaganda campaign for what it is … to prevent further harm being done to individual and public health.' The site also has a section that names denialists and unsparingly critiques their writings, variously accusing them of homophobia, 'scientific ignorance of truly staggering proportions,' conspiracy theories, 'the dogmatic repetition of the misunderstanding, misrepresentation, or mischaracterization of certain scientific studies,' and flat-out lies. 'There was a perceived need to take these people on in cyberspace, because that's where they operate mostly, and that's where the most vulnerable people go for their information,' says immunologist John Moore, an AIDS researcher at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University in New York City."

Others may well emulate this use of the World Wide Web not only to disseminate information, but also to combat the dissemination of misinformation!
