Australia Becomes First Country To Eliminate AIDS Epidemic

Fact checked
Australia declares itself completely free of the AIDS epidemic

Australia has officially eliminated the AIDS epidemic, as the country’s top scientists have declared “the end of AIDS” as a public health issue. 

The number of AIDS cases in Australia is now so small, doctors and scientists do not even record the numbers anymore.

Abc.net.au reports:

AIDS cases in Australia have plummeted since the advent of anti-retroviral medication in the mid-1990s, which stops HIV from progressing to AIDS – where the immune system is so badly damaged it cannot fight off infection.

At its peak in the early 1990s, about 1,000 Australians died from AIDS each year.

However, Professor Andrew Grulich, head of the HIV Epidemiology and Prevention Program at the Kirby Institute, said the number was now so low, it was not even recorded.

“These days we don’t even monitor it, it’s a transitory thing for most people; people have AIDS, then they go on treatment and they don’t have AIDS anymore,” he said.

While the fight against HIV is still ongoing, Professor Grulich said the change to the incidence of AIDS had been “nothing short of miraculous”.

“It’s pretty much dealt with as a public health issue,” he said.

“The only cases we see of AIDS these days are people undiagnosed with HIV and so they can’t be treated.”

‘I thought it was going to be a death sentence’

Lloyd Grosse, 51, who was given three years to live when he was diagnosed with HIV three decades ago, never imagined he would live to see the end of AIDS.

“I probably always thought it was going to be a death sentence,” Mr Grosse said.

“The wards were full of people dying, and there were problems with people even delivering food to them, they were pushing food into people’s rooms with the ends of broomsticks, it was a scary time.

“It was a time where we were really battling for our lives, and battling to keep our friends afloat.”

At the time, Mr Grosse began working at the Bobby Goldsmith Foundation, Australia’s oldest HIV and AIDS charity, and was given a list of almost 300 clients who were financially destitute and socially isolated.

“There was one week where I had five friends and seven clients die in a week, so those sorts of things are really, really tough to handle,” he said.

Professor Sharon Lewin, director of the Peter Doherty Institute, said anti-retroviral medications had been game-changers, allowing someone with HIV to live a long and healthy life.

“I’ve actually seen a dramatic transformation of HIV from a universal death sentence to now a chronic, manageable disease.”

The end of AIDS is not the end of HIV

Despite the progress, researchers are still quick to point out the end of AIDS is not the end of HIV.

About 1,000 new cases of HIV are reported in Australia each year, and those within the sector worry that young people, who did not witness the horrors of the AIDS epidemic during the 80s and 90s, have become complacent.

Professor Lewin said 10 per cent of new diagnoses of HIV in Australia were made of people with advanced HIV infection.

“One of the problems we still have in Australia is people not getting tested, not knowing they’re infected with HIV, and turning up for their first test when they already have AIDS, or already have significant immune damage,” she said.
Advocates are also setting their sights on the rest of the world, particularly in countries in the Asia-Pacific region, where 180,000 cases of AIDS and 1.2 million cases of HIV are reported each year.

Don Baxter, an international officer at the Australian Federation of AIDS Organisations, said it was vital Australia continued to support other countries who had not yet beaten the AIDS epidemic.

“We are seeing very few countries actually reducing that rate of infection at this stage, and we don’t see the political will of those governments as we’ve had in Australia,” Mr Baxter said.

He said Australia had previously committed $200 million to the Global Fund, set up to distribute resources internationally to target HIV and AIDS, but more was required.

The sentiment was echoed by Professor Lewin.

“We’re hoping in September when the fund is replenished our Government will be even more generous than that,” she said.

  2. It is no longer news that the Acquired immune deficiency syndrome /Human Immune Virus (HIV) is increasing by the day. The fear is that many people living with the sickness are scared of saying it because of the stigma that comes along with it. I am bold enough among many others to state that there is now a potent cure to this sickness but many are unaware of it. I discovered that I was infected with the virus 3 months ago, after a medical check-up. My doctor told me and I was shocked, confused and felt like my world has crumbled. I was dying slowly due to the announcement of my medical practitioner but he assured me that I could live a normal life if I took my medications (as there was no medically known cure to HIV). I went from churches to churches but soon found out that my case needed urgent attention which i now told my friend about my condition she suggested this herbal doctor name Dr.Osama, she told me this man is a native doctor who cure different kind of sickness and i email him with the email address she gave to me; dr.osama-solution-spell-home@outlook.com and he answered me immediately and he promise me that everything is going to be fine which i believed him and he said that i will noticed change after three days. truly three days later i started feeling some strange feelings in my body system, my beloved brothers and sisters as i am talking to you now, i am sound and healthy more than ever before, i am now HIV Negative. all thanks to DR OSAMA. you can receive a package from him anywhere you are in the world please contact him on this email: dr.osama-solution-spell-home@outlook.com or dr.osama.solution.spell.home@gmail.com contact him if you have similar problems or any deadly disease you want to put an end to. you can also call him on cell phone: +234810037069. i say a very big thanks to God at first for sending this man to save my life and to the most powerful spell caster in the world, Dr Osama and also thanks to my beloved friend who introduce this great man to me, kindly contact him now if you have any type of disease which you want to cure before it put an end to your life

  5. There’s no such thing as HIV. There’s no such thing as Aids can be transmitted by STD’s or sex or blood. It’s been a 25 year mass murdering bald face lie and that’s an incontrovertible prima facie fact.

    There are several very serious heinous crimes that need to be
    thoroughly investigated by everyone. Why all the worldwide government
    sanctioned choreographed hoaxes? After watching this next video, 100% of
    the viewers believed HIV is a genuine blood-borne or sexually
    transmitted disease that leads to AIDS and certain death? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgiMqgjS-zM
    * in this short 8 min video, you’ll understand why Alex Jones has been
    bragging about the ten fold exponential increase in cancer, a 10,000
    percent increase. Clue: bio weapons?

    Sociopaths think they’re smarter than the rest of us? Grandiosely
    bragging they’re 10 years ahead of their time? That needs to do a little
    time? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3J7vHLXCphA
    HIV is a government worldwide criminal fraud. Prima facie proving the
    overt acts of blatant mass murder, genocide and maneuvering 250 billion
    in pharmaceutical profits? Mass murdering innocent people with their
    extremely deadly AZT cancer drugs and so far with impunity.

    After experiencing De Rothschild’s tyranny by coercion, our founding
    forefathers knew all too well, didn’t they? I can completely understand
    why communists hate George Washington so much? George had your number
    too… didn’t he? At this point it’s pointless to ask but could a
    communist stop breaking the law?

    Dr. David Rasnick’s book; The germs of lies. I quote: You pay a serious price to speak out on this subject. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYXM6fqPsXA

    Kary Mullis, Ph.D. the 1993 Nobel prize winner tells us the incontrovertible truth.

    Professor Mullis and other decent men of honest character and integrity
    have emphasized that the papers of Montagnier, Gallows and others do not
    provide the scientific justification that HIV causes a disease. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IifgAvXU3ts
