Incao stated that Eliza Jane appeared "mildly ill. When Eliza Jane failed to improve, Maggiore took her to see Philip Incao, a holistic practitioner and board member of Maggiore's AIDS-denialist organization Alive & Well AIDS Alternatives. According to the hospital report, filed just after Eliza Jane's death and based upon an interview with Maggiore, Eliza Jane "had been diagnosed with pneumonia" in the weeks preceding her death. Reportedly, Gordon was aware of Maggiore's HIV status, but did not have Eliza Jane tested for HIV. Several days later, Maggiore took Eliza Jane to see another pediatrician, Jay Gordon, who felt she had a mild ear infection. She was seen by a physician from the family's pediatric practice, who documented a normal physical exam. Several weeks after this interview, in April 2005, Eliza Jane became ill with a runny nose. So, our choices, however radical they may seem, are extremely well-founded." They've never had respiratory problems, flus, intractable colds, ear infections, nothing. (Maggiore later reported Charlie to have tested HIV-negative three times.) Maggiore discussed her beliefs as an AIDS dissident on Air America Radio in March 2005, stating that ".our children have excellent records of health. Her younger child, Eliza Jane, was never tested for HIV, nor did she or her older brother Charlie receive any of the recommended childhood vaccines. Maggiore also breast-fed her children, despite evidence that breast-feeding can also transmit HIV from mother to child.
Maggiore chose not to take antiretroviral drugs or other measures which reduce the risk of mother-to-child transmission of HIV during her pregnancies. Maggiore came to believe that her positive test may have been due to flu shots, pregnancy, or a common viral infection. However, following an interaction with prominent AIDS denialist Peter Duesberg in 1994, she began to question whether HIV causes AIDS. She subsequently became involved in volunteer work for a number of AIDS charities, including AIDS Project Los Angeles, L.A.
