Durban declaration

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Not to be confused with World Conference against Racism 2001#The Durban Declaration and Programme of Action.

The Durban declaration was a statement signed by over 5,000 physicians and scientists at the 2000 International AIDS Conference in Durban, South Africa, affirming that HIV is the cause of AIDS. The declaration was drafted in response to statements by South Africa president Thabo Mbeki, who questioned the link between HIV and AIDS. At the Durban conference, 5,000 scientists from all over the world, including eleven Nobel prize winners, signed a statement calling the evidence that HIV causes AIDS "clear-cut, exhaustive and unambiguous."[1]
