Seth C. Kalichman is an American clinical community psychologist and professor of social psychology at the University of Connecticut, known for his research into HIV/AIDS treatment and HIV/AIDS denialism.
Kalichman is also the director of the Southeast HIV/AIDS Research & Education Project in Atlanta, Georgia, and Cape Town, South Africa, and the editor of the journal AIDS and Behavior.
[3] Kalichman stated in 2009 that "While working in South Africa I became aware of the devastating effects that AIDS denial was having in that country.
Mbeki’s misguided AIDS policies resulted in over 330,000 senseless deaths and 35,000 babies who were needlessly infected with HIV.
I was aware of the failure to offer treatment for South Africans living with HIV/AIDS and I knew that AIDS denial was to blame".
