''Continuum'' was a magazine published by an activist group of the same name who denied the existence of HIV/AIDS. Favoring pseudoscientific content, the magazine addressed issues related to HIV/AIDS, AIDS denialism, alternative medicine, and themes of interest to the LGBT community. It ran from December 1992 until February 2001, ceasing publication because both the editors had died of AIDS-defining clinical conditions. ==History== ''Continuum'' was created in December 1992 by Jody Wells (March 12, 1947 – August 26, 1995) in London, United Kingdom. It ceased publication in 2001, after all the editors died from AIDS-defining clinical conditions,〔 (【引用サイトリンク】How to spot an AIDS denialist )〕 leaving debts of over £14,000.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Continuum vol6 No3 )〕 The magazine last appeared in print in 1998 and then surfaced again in February 2001 on the Internet.〔 It was initially published bimonthly, then began to be published seasonally. According to the magazine: ''Continuum'' promoted the idea that AIDS was a conspiracy and was not related to HIV. Wells believed that the fear of AIDS was based on homophobia, not science. ''Continuum'' claimed to be a scientific journal for those who had alternative theories about HIV/AIDS, even though it had no peer review and promoted and advertised alternative therapies such as urinotherapy. AIDS denialists often cite the articles published in this journal as a source of scientific information. In the January/February 1996 edition, the magazine began offering £1,000 to the first person who could find a scientific study that showed the isolation of HIV, even though it had been isolated in 1983 by Luc Montagnier and Françoise Barré-Sinoussi (for which they obtained a Nobel Prize), and then was confirmed by Robert Gallo in 1984, demonstrating that a retrovirus they had isolated, called HTLV-III in the belief that the virus was related to the leukemia viruses of Gallo's earlier work, was the cause of AIDS. Peter Duesberg tried to claim the prize and wrote an article for the magazine in its July/August 1996 issue,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Continuum vol4 No 2 July/August 1996 )〕 but the award was rejected because it had to meet certain conditions.
