Alive & Well AIDS Alternatives
Alive & Well AIDS Alternatives (formerly HEAL, Health Education AIDS Liaison) is a 501(c) non-profit organization of AIDS denialists (people who deny that HIV is the cause of AIDS). The organization's stated mission is to "present information that raises questions about the accuracy of HIV tests, the safety and effectiveness of AIDS drug treatments, and the validity of most common assumptions about HIV and AIDS."〔(Alive & Well AIDS Alternatives official Web page ), accessed 8 Sept 2006.〕 The organization's founder, the late Christine Maggiore, estimated shortly before her AIDS-related death in 2008 that the organization had assisted about 50 HIV-positive mothers in developing legal strategies to avoid having their children tested or treated for HIV.〔(A Mother's Denial, A Daughter's Death ), L.A. Times series on Eliza Jane Scovill's death, accessed 8 Sept 2006.〕
==Founding==
Alive & Well AIDS Alternatives was founded in 1995 by the late Christine Maggiore, who had tested HIV-positive in 1992. Although Maggiore was initially active in the AIDS community, providing AIDS and HIV education through AIDS Project Los Angeles, she later came to question her diagnosis. Ultimately, she came to believe that HIV was not the cause of AIDS, and formed Alive & Well to expound her views.
Maggiore became a controversial figure following the death of her 3-year-old daughter, Eliza Jane Scovill. Eliza Jane was never tested for HIV and died on May 16, 2005 of Pneumocystis pneumonia in the setting of advanced AIDS.〔(Autopsy report on Eliza Jane Scovill ), accessed 8 Sept 2006.〕 Maggiore did not believe that Eliza Jane had AIDS, and attributed her death to an allergic reaction to amoxicillin.〔(Justice for E.J., website maintained by AIDS denialists ) arguing that Eliza Jane Scovill did not die of AIDS, accessed 8 Sept 2006.〕 Mohammed Al-Bayati, a board member of Alive & Well and a veterinary toxicologist, issued his own report arguing that a drug reaction, not AIDS, was responsible for Eliza Jane's death.〔(Dr. Mohammed Al-Bayati's report on the cause of Eliza Jane Scovill's death ), accessed 8 Sept 2006.〕 Eliza Jane's death was the subject of reports by ABC Primetime Live〔(ABC News Primetime Live Report on the death of Eliza Jane Scovill ), accessed 8 Sept 2006.〕 and the ''Los Angeles Times'';〔 several independent medical experts contacted by these programs agreed unequivocally that Eliza Jane had died of complications of AIDS.
On December 29, 2008, Maggiore died at the age of 52. She was under a doctor's care and was being treated for pneumonia. A doctor familiar with the family suggests that anti-HIV drugs could have prevented her death, but Maggiore's fellow AIDS denialists state that her pneumonia was not related to AIDS and that she died as a result of an alternative medicine treatment.
