Behind The Fear uncovers the hidden controversy about HIV that the United States government doesn't want you to know exists; since the beginning of the HIV epidemic, top scientists and doctors have questioned the validity of HIV as a deadly virus, or even as a virus that exists at all. Nicole Zwiren takes on the topic of whether or not HIV is really a harmful virus, by interviewing doctors, scientists, journalists, and patients who have been involved in HIV's history, and she presents information that helps the viewer decide what to believe.
