Guerrilla Clinic.

Hide Profile

The Guerilla Clinic was an informal, "underground" group of AIDS activists who obtained unapproved, experimental drugs (mostly from Mexico) and distributed them at cost to PWAs who wanted them. Most of these files involve the drug Dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB). The founder of the Guerrilla Clinic, Blaine Elswood, sought to bring attention to, and stimulate research on, DNCB as a treatment for Kaposi's Sarcoma.
