The above link is about the former Dr. Jonathan Fishbein, who was the highest ranking whistleblower in America's history. He was fired from his duties as Director of the National Institutes of Health NIH... He exposed misconduct in the AIDS drug safety clinical trials for Nevirapine. He eventually won his case.
We are not always privy to detrimental information about these drugs. Many times it is discovered by investigative reporters under The Freedom of Information Act. Another interesting story is by Liam Scheff, who wrote about orphan children who were used to test an AIDS drug in New York City, many died from this.
The point in all of this is to be diligent and do some research on your own. Being informed cannot be a bad thing, it will surely give you more information in making the right choices.
