There are people who believe in AIDS denialism. They basically don't believe AIDS is a real virus and doesn't kill millions of people.
I PERSONALLY think it's a load of crap, but that's my opinion.
Denialism is the dis-belif or denial of something. Some people have holocaust denial, AIDS denial, global warming denial, etc.

Alli is right.
The term HIV- or AIDS- denialist refers to a person who believes (despite overwhelming scientific consensus, scientific studies, patient experience) that HIV.... does not exist/does not cause AIDS/has never been isolated/etc.,.
There are other "denialists". For example: Holocaust-denialists do not believe that the Nazis exterminated 6 million Jews (and Gypsies, Gays,etc.,.). They believe this despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
Denialists are even here on Yahoo! Answers trying to spew there lies and deceit. Though I am pretty sure it is one guy who keeps starting up new accounts and posting.....
