Veronica, please read the posts on this thread. You have people posting here who did not even know that AIM does not run the tests, they are done by an independant lab.

Please read some of the other threads on this board and see the vile crap spewed at sharon mithcell. Read the thread right now in the SHITLIST and see some of the crap written there.

And my solution is to support AIM. Seven years and one hiv outbreak started by someon who went OUTSIDE of the AIM testing circle. STD rates at about on fout=rth the national average for sexually active adults.

People on this board are not even aware that Sharon Mithcell is NOT the MEDICAL DIRECTOR of AIM.

Perhaps moron and idiot were harsh. I will say that they are very uninformed about what AIM does.

True, AIM will always be surrounded by 'talk' and controversy, but when people doing the talking dont even know that AIM has an independant lab doing the work, or has three medical doctors on their staff, or they use the most technologically advanced testing methods, or that it is a program of CONTAINMENT , not prevention, then the discussions are worthless.

And exactly what do you find so amusing about my last statement in my previous post. It is a factually correct statement that explains in verysimple terms what AIM's role in the industry is. What is so AMUSING about that?

And veronica, you speak of 'incidents' regarding AIMSA test yet you aknowledge you have no personal knowledge of these alleged incidents. Having checked directly with the l.a. county health department I can sya for a fact that NOBODY has ever filed any type of complaint regfarding the accuracy of AIMS tests and that healthline labs is regarded as the number one pcr technology lab in the u.s.(Member of Roche Diagnostics Center of Excellence Program, And was awarded the Rocche Diagnostics Laboratory of the YEar in 2003) (Roche holds the patent for pcr testing)

There are also others woho have written that the pcr test is not FDA approved. That it absolutely FALSE. It was approved in 1996 as a SCREENING test, not a DIAGNOSTIC test, that is why AIM follwed ALL of the correct protocols to run confirmatory tests on everyone last spring.

To try to impune the reputation on healthline labs regarding the accuracy of their tests is an excersise in futility. They are simply the best in the united states, and NOBODY in the medical field will disagree with that statement, or at least they will not put their name to it if they do.

ACID SEX, there is no other hiv test more accurate than the one AIM uses. The reason you cant think of the name of the test you purport to be more accurate is because it does not exist. Veronica, this is the type of uninformed stuff I"M talking about.

Again I apologize for using the derogitory terms. Uninformed and uneducated would be more accurate.

VERONICA, please read some of the archives on this site regarding sharon mitchell and you will see real vile and pugnacious statements.

And the original post on this thread stating that AIM is responsible for last springs outbreak, well veronica, I think even you would agree that statement is completely ludicrous.
