In House of Numbers, an AIDS film like no other, the HIV/AIDS story is being rewritten. This is the first film to present the uncensored POVs of virtually all the major players; in their own settings, in their own words. It rocks the foundation upon which all conventional wisdom regarding HIV/AIDS is based. House of Numbers could well be the opening volley in a battle to bring sanity and clarity to an epidemic gone awry.
Quoted from: Audience Response to the New York Times Critical Review:I have many friends who gave up checking their numbers and taking cocktails years ago. The drugs did not agree with them, so they figured, "I'll die a natural AIDS death and accept my fate..." and then, they got better...and never looked back. Is this anecdotal? Yes. Does it mean HIV is harmless? No. Does it mean that it doesn't exist? No. But my research has shown that there is much variance surrounding these issues. And given the toxicity of the drugs, the social stigma, and the "death sentence"...and given we were promised a vaccine in the mid 1980s...and given there is no cure...what is wrong with revisiting some issues and facing the fact that AIDS remains a mystery? This film is not dangerous. It is not going to make people run out and have animalistic sex and throw condoms into the ocean. Grow up, people. It's simply a series of interviews based on one man's journey into this complicated world of politics and science surrounding HIV/AIDS. Watch it. Question. Research. And determine your own opinion...– TheatreGuyZ , Portland, OR
Neither an "advocate" nor "denialist". We should never stop asking questions.
