ACT
UP San Francisco (AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power) is a diverse collective
of individuals united in anger and determined to end HIV and AIDS through
militant direct action.
We dispute
HIV as the cause of a growing list of old diseases that have been
officially categorized as AIDS. Our challenge to the HIV hypothesis
should not be interpreted as an excuse to ignore symptoms of illness,
or to engage in activities known to compromise health. Decisions regarding
health issues should be based on a thorough evaluation of facts including
the fact that people who test positive and remain healthy vastly outnumber
HIV positives who become ill and die.
ACT UP San Francisco
also vehemently opposes all forms of animal
research because of its inherent cruelty and uselessness in the
advancement of medical science.
Through our medical
marijuana dispensary, we promote patients rights, including informed
decision making about treatment options and self-medication.
To that end, ACT
UP San Francisco encourages a healthy lifestyle through vegetarianism,
medical marijuana, and questioning the medical orthodoxy.
