==Misconceptions==
There are several discredited beliefs about AIDS, many of which are the result of a deliberate disinformation campaign for political purposes. In the 1980s, the [[KGB]] initiated [[Operation Infektion]], claiming that the virus was formulated by military contractors on an American military base. Since the widespread dissemination of this misinformation, HIV has been the subject of widespread [[Conspiracy theories]]. Louis Farrakhan, leader of the Nation of Islam, has long held that the virus was created to exterminate blacks.<ref>[https://www.poz.com/article/The-Secret-Plot-to-Destroy-African-Americans-7602-7053 The Secret Plot to Destroy African Americans]</ref>
