Michael Weinstein President of AHF From their website http://www.aidshealth.org/
Michael Weinstein is the president of AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF), the nation’s largest provider of HIV/AIDS medical care. Before becoming involved in HIV/AIDS related issues in the 1980s, he was a businessman and graphic designer. Since 1986, Mr. Weinstein has been a leader in the fight against HIV and AIDS. As president and co-founder of AHF, he oversees a $160-million organization whose mission is to provide “cutting-edge medicine and advocacy regardless of one’s ability to pay.” AHF currently serves more than 110,000 clients in the United States, Africa, Latin America/Caribbean and Asia.
Under Mr. Weinstein’s leadership, AHF has grown from a group of friends dedicated to the creation of dignified care for people in the last stages of AIDS to the largest AIDS organization in the United States. The Foundation now operates 15 outpatient AHF Healthcare Centers in California and Florida. AHF also operates 17 pharmacies, a clinical research unit, a disease management program throughout the State of Florida (Positive Healthcare/Florida, and the first capitated Medicaid managed care program for people with AIDS (Positive Healthcare/California).
In 2001, AHF launched AHF Global, a non-profit, international initiative to bring lifesaving antiretroviral therapy to developing and resource-poor countries. AHF Global works in partnership with local stakeholders including ministries of health and non-government organizations to establish sustainable and replicable models for high-quality, sustainable HIV/AIDS healthcare service delivery. AHF Global currently has partnerships and operates free AIDS treatment clinics in 21 countries including the US, and in Africa, Latin America/Caribbean and Asia. AHF also operates medical provider-training programs in China, Haiti, Nigeria, Russian Federation and Ukraine.
In order to help finance some of the many services AHF provides, Weinstein also created the popular fundraising Out of the Closet Thrift Store chain, the nation’s largest AIDS-related retail business, which contributes to the innovative HIV/AIDS initiatives of AHF. Out of the Closet now boasts 22 stores in California and Florida, several of which offer free HIV testing as part of the Foundation’s groundbreaking alternative HIV testing and prevention program which conducts more than 14,000 free HIV tests annually.
Before founding AIDS Healthcare Foundation, Weinstein served as coordinator of the Stop the AIDS Quarantine Committee and then as executive director of the Los Angeles AIDS Hospice Committee, which led the fight for hospice care in the mid-eighties.
In 2001, Weinstein was awarded an Honorary Doctorate Degree from Whittier College for his career achievements.
Whats the point in posting this?
i fail to see how this is a conspiracy, honestly 160mil is not a lot of money.
does he or anyone related to this organization own any drug companies?
sounds like everything they do is on a non-profit basis.
i do think AHF should leave the adult industry alone, go spend their effort in africa and other global AIDS hot spots where their effort and investments can really make a difference.

That’s just the tip of the iceberg. Do you really believe an experienced businessman like Michael Weinstein is going to get fully involved in something without profiting from it? There is no such thing as a non-profit organization, it doesn’t exist, I’m sure Shelly Lubben agrees.
It’s indeed a conspiracy, an elaborated conspiracy to take over the adult industry. With having monopoly over an industry as diverse as the adult, the sky will be the limit for AHF: They can finance and start test clinics, expand their research and drug distribution fields and make millions of dollars. The adult industry is like a gold mine for these people. They’re after profit; they could care less about performer’s health and the use of condom in porn scenes. The only reason they sided with OSHA on the condom issue was to create an alliance against AIM and push them out of the business, and more likely they will. AIM doesn’t have AHF’s money power and friends with influence, and simply cannot compete with AHF. In the near future, AHF will be the new king of the porn valley, and there will be business as usual.
Whinestein was a business major and graphic designer. That figures, considering how much money AHF generates. “Non-profit” makes me laugh. 174 million they made last year being a whore for the drug industry. I’m curious how his being a business and graphic designer major makes him an expert in the science of HIV and AIDS? After all, anyone who dares question Gallo’s credentials and the hasty FDA approval of AZT and Sustiva is attacked as ignorant of the mystical science of HIV.
Of course it’s about the money…HELLO do you think it isn’t about the money with AIM as well?
AHF just has a lot more business sense….Hate to say it but in the long run it will almost certainly be better for performers if they win.
that money you guys are discussing is peanuts, you are all chasing a ghost..
AIM is supported from the producer end of the business.., who gives a shit about the talent?
sure unions would also be great for the auto workers or the mining workers but guess what..
Sirecumalot says,
“AIM is supported from the producer end of the business. Who gives a shit about the talent?”
Where do you dream this stuff up Sirecum.
AIM is fully funded by the TALENT who pay(donate) for their tests. Producers and private donations make up less than 2% of ALL the revenue AIM raises.
Where do you get this bullshit from Sirecumalot?
ANd Mike,,AIM finishes in the RED every year.
AIM is supported by the producer end,,,,100% bullshit
Who cares about the talent,,,,well, the talent cares about the talent,,,that is why the talent get tested.
The producers could care less if the talent tested. The talent dont get tested for the producer, they get tested for themselves. Are you really that dense?
Thanks for the link, Spiegler,
Weinstein is a business major, and as others have said in that link, an “opportunist” “with an agenda”, including “extortion”. He is pushing for Big Pharm of course, saying we should focus solely on treatment and drugs they provide, and not further vaccine research, even though the drugs don’t claim to cure.
ARE WE GOING TO LET AHF DETERMINE OUR FUTURE? As we continue the fight we all need to share this information about Weinstein, and many other people and things, and attack them back with it.
It’s a combined reason: religious/societal repression and mores that want us to feel ashamed and permanently debilitated from sexually related diseases/illnesses, along with the free market, which in the case of AIDS and other ailments, uses fear, hysteria and skewed statistics/lies which has us believing that we all need toxic drugs in our lives to “save” us.
To say there is no cure for herpes, for example, seems dubious to me, when most people eradicate it from their system through their own immune system/anti-body response.
And speaking of claiming to cure, and speaking of disingenuousness, why the fuck do all the smiling people on all these AHF billboards say the same exact thing (“AHF saved my life!”)? Did they all happen to come up with that phrase, each, on their own? Is this a registered trademark? AHF is running around saying they’re saving lives when the drug manufacturers themselves don’t even claim that.
A used car salesman is much more trustworthy than all these white jacket and tie wearing hoodlums. The former has much less to gain than the latter.
And since it’s already so painfully obvious to some that it’s all about the money, then we need to start thinking, researching, questioning and realizing what the fuck is and has been really going on…
Again, let me try to make it extremely simple:
If we really cared about people than half the world’s population wouldn’t be going to bed starving.
This proves that, as we should know, money rules over people, not vice versa. Therefore, logic should dictate we can’t trust these motherfuckers (and I mean mother fucker literally in lieu of HIV+ moms’ not patients’ rights), that truth does not lead the way. If it did then Gallo’s doctored results would have never been announced before peer review and the FDA wouldn’t OUTLAW natural, and proven curative, NON-PATENTABLE remedies.
When it’s ALL about the money is it guaranteed you are being fucked (and/or fucked with) and you are being lied to. As Nancy Turner Banks has said, it’s a war, and all wars are started for profit and all wars NEED casualties!
ARE YOU GOING TO BE THE NEXT “CASUALTY” IN THE NAME OF A WAR BEING WAGED BY THOSE WHO ARE CONTROLLED BY PROFIT-MOTIVE, NOT A SENSE OF HUMANITY?
THINK!… AND DO THE RESEARCH!
Years ago there was a huge rumor going around that HIV was created in a lab somewhere by folks working for the CIA under orders from President Ronald Reagan (he hated the fact his son was gay) to create a disease to wipe out gay people. Supposedly they didn’t take into account that some gay men are bisexual and it got spread to both sexes.
It sounds like a crazy rumor but is such a thing possible? Why did we not hear about HIV until around that time? Humans have lived on earth for thousands of years and all of a sudden we get a new disease like this? There have also been rumors that it came from people having sex with monkeys. Crazy stories for sure…
Everyone was targeting the homosexuals:
1. They were targeting themselves socially, for sex and to share in the drug experience, in particular amyl nitrate which looses the bunghole and causes greatly intesified and euphoric orgasms at the price of your health… sort of like sitting in your car and having your engine running and your garage door closed. Not all the gays, just a percentage of them living la vida coka, having lots of drugs, lots of antibiotics and lots of anal sex. And even if you’re into all of that it still sounds like a disaster.
2. Gay magazines through their popper advertisers promoted AN and other nitrates, causing KS (Kaposi sarcoma).
3. Gov’t was doing experiments on gays. Government-sponsored hepatitis B vaccine experiments (1978-1981) were using gay men as guinea pigs.
4. Doctors were blaming what was later called AIDS on their homosexual behavior. AIDS was originally called Gay Related Immune Deficiency. This seems to me to be pure idiocy, for if a heterosexual person having lots of sex started dying you wouldn’t call the mysterious ailment “SLID”.
5. The Elite, or Illuminazis, as some call them, supposedly want to drastically lower the world’s population. A perfect way to start something big is to target a fringe group, first. At the same time they want complete control of markets, seek to keep people in control through diversions, work, sickness, being dumbed-down, etc. Problems are created because they offer multiple solutions and gains.
6. There is a known historic religio-societal hostility against gays and there is also a historic eugenics movement within the United States leading up through today. The fact is that Hitler’s Germany may have lost WWII, but Fascism still Won! Fascists’ seeds have self-evidently been planted, (from “Operation Paperclip”, on, for example) and our current domestic and foreign policies are facets of the beast it’s grown into.
7. Gays have done this to themselves and everyone in how they collectively united around a minority segment of gays who were hogwild on drugs and lovers every night who were destroying themselves and then left it to the doctors to finish what they, themselves, had started. Their hysteria was used and continues to be used as a tool for even more devious deeds, and paved the way for the highly lucrative scandals and genocides perpetrated in the name of science, upon mankind, in general.

Your point is valid, but for clarification, AIDS is not a new disease. It is a collection of over 2 dozen old, previously unrelated diseases, each with individual, previous causes. This in itself is a scam, even if you believe in Gallo’s doctored science, presumptive tests and deadly drugs.
As for the humans fucking monkey’s tail tale, this is a telephone game kind of morphing from the monkey bite theory, sort of like how Carl Sagan was rumored to have said “billions and billions” when he never did.
Is this eugenics? Gays, African Americans and Africans have been targeted. The same data in different labs and different countries yield different results. Also the same data in the same lab between two different people, one gay, one straight, will much more likely lean towards presuming that one response denotes HIV infection, and the other, not. it’s ludicrous!
According to pubic records available online (if you do a little digging), originating with political campaign contributions made by Weinstein and required to be reported, Weinstein lives in a house on Bronson Hill Drive overlooking Los Feliz which sold for $1,686,000 in August 2008. I’d say he’s doing pretty well.
I’d also refer readers to Jeremy Steele’s interview with Clark Baker:
“AHF pushes condoms because they are an intrinsic part of AIDS marketing and hysteria. If AHF can compel the adult industry to incorporate their condoms into a spontaneous sexual fantasy (Hey Baby… here we are in paradise… just you, me and this AHF condom), they will get the best product placement money can buy. In this way, AHF is a pharmaceutical shill that pushes fear and hysteria to sell tests, drugs and condoms all over the world.”
Thanks Michael Whiteacre for your comments.
Obviously Weinstein wants a bigger house. That’s why he’s got AHF involved in the Grandmason/Gallen case, which according to 501c3 law is none of their fuckin’ business! (see my response to Joe Don’t Know- the same idiot who originally thought Clark claimed he, Clark-that is, was HIV+ in our interview).
Btw, “Hey Baby… here we are in paradise… just you, me and this AHF condom” – a true instant classic if I’ve ever heard one!
