com -- only random links to sites that may or may not have a passing reference to HIV. There is no persuasive element whatsoever. True but Little Known Facts, however, attempts to be objective and its bullet by bullet approach has the style of a persuasive site -- but, again, because its points are ridiculous, its "minimum bias" and "objectivity" cannot be relied upon.

The content, on the other hand, of True but Little Known Facts appears to be moderately up-to-date, with sources from 2009, 2005, 2001, 1999, and 1993 -- but the sources themselves are incredible (Fybb R. Magee writes an article whose title, in a mix of French and German, can be roughly translated to mean "AIDS in the women and the man; making a hoax") and the documentation ("works sited" [sic]) is poor ("September2005" [sic]) cannot be trusted. Two copyrights exist (another peculiarity) -- one of them being a "copywrite" [sic]; but apparently the hoax website was first created in 1996 and last updated in 2009. Yet, if one stops only at the "copywrite" found under the last source (Donat-Blief, A. Ward), he will find what appears to be the fact that a reputable University (which actually does not exist) has actually produced this website through the "Departure" (not Department) "of Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt.

" All of these details should expose the website as fraudulent and lead one to pursue actual information elsewhere.

But that information should not be pursued at Truthaboutaids.com simply because it boasts a 2011 copyright -- for other than that, nothing at all is revealed about who maintains the search engine and with whom it is affiliated; therefore, it can hardly be considered a credible source for information and should be regarded skeptically.

As for coverage, truthaboutaids.com being merely a search engine that directs one to questionable sites for medications and charity fundraising, the information to which it actually grants one immediate access is scant. True but Little Known Facts also gives little (and false) information -- merely sound bites of insignificant and joke trivia on how women can contract aids or "reduce their risk from AIDS" [sic]. The depth of study is nonexistent.

In conclusion, neither website offers the kind of serious credentials a web researcher should look for when attempting to gather information on the HIV virus. Truthaboutaids.com is a poor search engine that has no credible authority as such, and True but Little Known Facts is an easily accessible but (upon inspection) sadly built site full of misspellings, grammatical errors and fabrications. Neither site, therefore, can be recommended.
