The International Coalition for Medical Justice is founded outside of Washington D.C. The ICMJ exists to allocate research grants into alternative AIDS research, to fight medical tyranny, and to promote investigation into the many hypotheses of AIDS causation.

Dr. Duesberg and Dr. David Rasnick publish "The AIDS Dilemma: Drug Diseases Blamed on a Passenger Virus" [pdf version] in the journal Genetica. In this article, Rasnick and Duesberg document the literature indicting drugs, recreational and pharmaceutical, as a cause of the conditions called AIDS.

Dr. Papadopulos-Eleopulos, et al publish the scientific article "A Critical Analysis of the Pharmacology of AZT and its Use in AIDS" in Current Medical Research and Opinion Vol. 15: Supplement, 1999. This article is an exhaustive review of the literature on AZT. "Based on all these data it is difficult if not impossible to explain why AZT was introduced and still remains the most widely recommended and used anti-HIV drug."

Anthony Brink, an Advocate for the South African High Court, writes two articles examining the "miracle medicine" that is AZT.

"HIV positive" and healthy since at least 1985, Dr. Richard MacIntyre authors the book Mortal Men. This study examines the lives of 20 long-term survivors of AIDS. Dr. MacIntyre believes AIDS may not be as simple as HIV.

In January, San Francisco and Los Angeles AIDS activists meet with Mayor Willie Brown and challenge him to "re-examine" what he has been taught to believe about HIV and AIDS.

In July, the ICMJ sends a copy of the book Inventing the AIDS Virus, by Dr. Peter Duesberg, and an excerpt from the book Dancing Naked in the Mind Fields, by Dr. Kary Mullis, to every member of the U.S. congress. This package is sent with a cover letter calling for a GAO investigation into all AIDS programs and services. .
