I came across this documentary film, "House of Numbers", about HIV/AIDS.
Turns out this film has become a "go-to" link for AIDS denial believers.
I researched it....and found it to be a deceptive look, seemingly verified by well-known HIV immunological researchers/doctors/and experts.
Ben Goldacre explains this here, in his "Bad Science" blog.....

It (the film) engages, for example, in repeated overstatement of marginal internal disagreements about the details of HIV research, to the extent that 18 doctors and scientists interviewed for the film have issued a statement saying that the director was “deceptive” in his interactions with them, that it perpetuates pseudoscience and myths, and that they were selectively quoted to make it seem as if they are in disagreement and disarray, when in fact they agree on all the important facts.
