"urine tenofovir assay". Yeah, I kinda laughed at that. And here's the thing about 'on demand' PrEP. I remember reading about that a couple years ago. Everything I read about it said it was as effective as daily PrEP. That piqued my interest because taking intermittent PrEP was performing as well as perpetual PrEP. Yet, at the same time they said the lack of PrEP efficacy was from less than every day 'adherence'. Made no sense to me.
And it does make me wonder when the medical establishment is going to start pushing chemotherapy prophylactically to prevent cancer.
The more I think about the urine tenofovir assay, the creepier it seems. You know if you’ve taken your pill—the only reason I can imagine this exists is to connect it with the type of surveillance mentioned in the podcast.
It makes one wonder what assumptions the powers that be are making about the “lifestyles” of the people they deem “need” perfect adherence to PrEP. Kinda seems to me like there are some false & potentially offensive stereotypes at play here.
There probably are, but for me it's demonization of gay people having sex, or Black people having sex, that's highly medicalized, that 'needs' to be medicalized. To me it's an invasive kind of punishment. Ostensibly it's to protect us, but the religious overtones are what's creepy to me. You're only as good as your last test, like you're only as good as your last confession. Being retained in care for your sexual expression is no different to me that going to church and being told you're a sinner that constantly needs the redemption of Jesus, because you're a sinner.
There is a precedent to this in psychiatry where they are always going on about non adherence and the solution being a depo-injection. I think that the potent stuff lenacapavir once a year is analogous as well as the known harm caused by psych drugs.
"peer support" is also a big part of psychs method of adherence where they co-opt former psych patients or the patients own family to befriend and report on adherence, if that doesn't work they get injected and if they don't turn up for their appointment the police arrive and people are forcefully removed or held down there and then and injected. This is what happens.
Sigh, Dr. Monica Ghandi is such a disappointment. Early on during the Covid lockdowns, she was quoted in my local San Francisco newspaper as demanding the city re-open children's playgrounds that had been shut down, saying that was one measure too far, that kids who are cooped up in apartment buildings need some outdoor activity even during a pandemic. I wrote to thank her for that stance, but it turned out she was utterly Covidian in all other ways. And when I saw that she worked in HIV/AIDS at UCSF, well, I figured there was little hope for her..... Sure wish she could open her eyes and think for a minute!!
Hello, I’m Paul Franks and I’ve written a conspiracy-thriller called ‘A Dive Into Darkness’ based upon my four years researching HIV/AIDS. In this original podcast series, I’ll tell you everything you need to know about the book and its four-year writing process, from inspiration to publication, and all points in between. In Episode Seven of ‘A Dive Into Darkness’, ‘Eureka!’, I will begin telling you how and why I became an HIV heretic.
It’s February 2021 and I’ve spent 8 months researching the origins of HIV/AIDS, and written my first novel, ‘Race!’. Unfortunately, ‘Race!’ was based upon a theory I no longer believed in, that HIV was a product of flawed polio vaccine trials in Central Africa in the late 1950s. I was also struggling to have faith in the official HIV Causes AIDS narrative, the so-called Cut Soldier / Cut Hunter theory, which didn’t add up either. I had the feeling that when I got to the moment of HIV discovery, I would find something else that wouldn’t add up. I was correct. Watching the Channel 4 documentary ‘The Plague’ I discovered that there was a contamination in Montagnier’s laboratory which had been passed onto Gallo’s laboratory in Bethesda and to several other laboratories, including Robin Weiss’s UK laboratory which manufactured the UK’s AIDS testing kits, and the laboratory in the USA where the virus for the USA’s AIDS testing kits were manufactured.
I quickly look online and find an article written by Luc Montagnier, published in 2002. It states the following:
‘To better characterize the new virus, we tried (unsuccessfully)to grow the BRU isolate in different T cell lines. If we had tried the LAI isolate instead, we would have been able to grow the virus without any trouble.In October 1983, we were finally able to grow the BRU isolate in Epstein-Barr virus-transformed B cell lines, although we discovered later that the LAI virus had contaminated our BRU culture. At least six laboratories received the LAI sample (under
the name BRU) from our group and experienced the same contamination. We think that the LAI virus readily contaminated the BRU culture because it associates with a mycoplasma species, Mycoplasma pirum, usually present in T cell lines. This physical association makes a fraction of the Lal virus highly infectious. As mycoplasmas are common contaminants of cultured cells, an infectious pseudotype virus (LAI associated with Mycoplasma pirum) may have caused several contaminations between 1983 and 1984 in different laboratories.’
I then look up mycoplasma contamination and find a 2002 paper, ‘Mycoplasma contamination of cell cultures: Incidence, sources, effects, detection, elimination, prevention’. It states that ‘The contamination of cell cultures by mycoplasmas remains a major problem in cell culture. Mycoplasmas can produce a virtually unlimited variety of effects in the cultures they infect. Besides the loss of an important culture, in the worst case, all experiments might be influenced by the infections and artefacts which are produced.’ I will look at this paper in more detail in future episodes.
I am stunned. Right from its inception in 1983, everything to do with HIV research was, literally, contaminated. There was no scientific basis for the HIV mafia’s claim that HIV was the cause of AIDS because there was no pure, killer virus called HIV.
Thank you for listening to Episode Seven of ‘A Dive Into Darkness.’ I hope you enjoyed it. In the next episode, I will continue telling you about how and why I became an HIV heretic. Till the next time, goodbye and happy reading.
‘A Dive Into Darkness’ is available both as an ebook and paperback, with Barnes & Noble and Amazon.
Hello, I’m Paul Franks, a Leeds-based, retired History teacher, and I’ve written a conspiracy-thriller called ‘A Dive Into Darkness’.
In this original podcast series, I’ll tell you everything you need to know about the book and its four-year writing process, from inspiration to publication, and beyond.
In Episode Five of ‘A Dive Into Darkness’, ‘The Cut Soldier’, I will begin telling you why and how I came to the conclusion that there is no scientific proof that HIV causes AIDS, and that there has been a scarcely believable, industrial scale, 40 year, global conspiracy to cover up the truth. At this juncture, I should make it crystal clear that whilst I am an HIV denier and I have some reservations about the CDC’s methodology and motivations, I am no AIDS denier.
Sometimes a statement or a version of events gets repeated so often that it becomes accepted by a large part of humanity as fact, even when the supporting evidence has been disproved long before. This is called an ‘Availability Cascade’, and it is one of the ways in which myth can take over from reality. Personally, an example of one such commonly accepted myth in the public mind would be that HIV is the cause of AIDS — a claim that began with erroneous research papers published on both sides of the Atlantic based on a lab contamination in the mid-eighties - but which is still believed by 99% of the world’s population to this day.
I stated in previous episodes that Edward Hooper’s book, ‘The River’, led me down a very deep rabbit hole. However, that only applies to his hypothesis about the origin of HIV and his belief that HIV is the cause of AIDS. As I also stated previously, the book is a mighty tome and it is a goldmine for researchers, like myself, who wish to discover the foundations of the official ‘HIV causes AIDS’ narrative
At the beginning of February 1999, a press conference was held which announced that a team of American and British researchers had discovered the origin of the AIDS virus.
Apparently, they had tracked it down to a virus, almost identical to HIV-1, which they had found in a certain type of chimpanzee. Good science dictates that a single SIV sample, which might well have been an aberrant or atypical virus, is quite clearly insufficient evidence on which to base an entire theory of origin of the AIDS pandemic. Good science was not the ‘HIV causes AIDS’ mafia’s strongest point.
The epidemic, it was explained, had probably begun when hunters were exposed to infected blood while cutting up chimpanzees for meat. “It took us twenty years to find out where HIV-1 came from’’, said team leader Beatrice Hahn, of Birmingham University, Alabama. Twenty years takes us back to 1979 and alleged ‘HIV’ was allegedly ‘discovered’ in Paris in 1983, but, as I’ll explain in future episodes, accuracy was never the ‘HIV causes AIDS’ mafia’s strong point either. What this scenario required was that the chimp-hunter became infected with SIV in one of the countries to the north, and then moved to Leopoldville (in a different country, ruled by a different colonial master), modern day Kinshasa, where he passed on his virus to someone else, and for this event to start a chain of infection, between the fifties and the seventies, which progressed exclusively eastward, across more than a thousand miles of rain forest, through the Belgian-held territories of Congo, Rwanda, and Burundi, to start the explosion of AIDS in east Africa in the early eighties.
An even more bizarre scenario was postulated by the former GP and self-appointed HIV expert, Jacques Pepin, who stated that the first person ever infected with HIV was a starving World War One soldier who caught the virus in Moloundou, Cameroon in 1916, while hunting chimps. His hypothesis is that one of the soldiers got infected while hunting in the forest. A chimpanzee was killed and when cutting the animal to bring it back, there was an injury which got infected with the virus. Eventually, the soldier, after the war, came back all the way to Léopoldville and probably started the very first train of transmission in Léopoldville itself. In the 1960s a Haitian technical assistant who came to the city caught the virus in this region, and eventually took it home where it then spread among gay men. Within a few years it was exported to the US via the gay sex trade, and then spread among gay men and IV drug users in the USA and Europe.
Thank you for listening to Episode Five of ‘A Dive Into Darkness.’ I hope you enjoyed it. In the next episode, I will continue telling you about the 40-year global conspiracy and cover-up that is the ‘HIV causes AIDS’ official narrative.
Till the next time, goodbye and happy reading.

You said what I was thinking far more eloquently. Thank you.
