Introduction
In 2003 the common lemon was hopefully poised to make a most significant
contribution to the global battle against HIV infection...an
infection that's already struck over 40 million men, women
and children world-wide and orphaned some 14 million children
in Africa alone. |

Origins
A Melbourne scientist, Professor Roger V.Short, the Wexler Professorial
Fellow, Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology of the University
of Melbourne at the Royal Women's Hospital in Melbourne has made
the dramatic discovery that the juice of the lemon kills HIV in
the test tube! Human trials are soon to get underway in Thailand.

The Executive Director of the United Nations body...UNAIDS...Dr
Peter Piot, has already hailed the discovery, declaring:
"UNAIDS would like to give you every encouragement to pursue
this exciting new lead in the global battle against HIV/AIDS."
This story needs to be told and followed worldwide.
For our part, we undertake to keep you up to date as the story
continues to unfold through the various trials.

Other parts of the website carry the news and detail of the spread
and the effects of the global spread of HIV/AIDS and also the work of
the non-profit Melbourne-based charity, The Australian AIDS Fund Incorporated.
But first let's look closely at the why and how women
and children are so badly affected by this global pandemic that's
rightly now described as having a woman's face. Our information has
come from World Health Organisation Fact Sheets and as the figures climb,
the facts accompanying the figures still remain valid today.
Email inquiries concerning Lemons and AIDS can be directed to bhaill@bigpond.net.au
who will refer them to Professor Short and his team.
