Introduction to AZT |The Chemistry of AZT| Side Effects| Pregnancy| An Anything But American Virus| Opposing Views| How AZT Changed History|
- AZT is given to newborn babies who test positive for HIV
- Vaccinations and hemophilia can cause false positives in an HIV test. Drugs are administered anyway and babies die only months later
- “…HIV-positive children who took AZT were three times more likely to develop AIDS or die by 18 months than those who did not.” (Roleff 201)
- Some viral patients rather just deal with the effects of the virus rather than the sickening and disabling side effects of AZT
