HIV = AIDS, Fact or Fraud?
https://topdocumentaryfilms.com/hiv-aids-fact-or-fraud/?fbclid=IwAR1O8Kpl17I08sFxdqU9z4XuyIA4wzU11-fmGBafi7An-XBS8MPE-Oqfd4k

Too many people are making too much money out of it, and money is much stronger than truth. One of the most powerful video documentaries of our time boldly reveals the modern medical-industrial complex’s dire descent into utter corruption.

This feature-length expose explains exactly how the 300-Billion-dollar AID$ fraud began, why HIV can NOT be the cause of AIDS, what the real causes could be, and who manipulates the public's good intentions while poisoning hundreds of thousands with toxic drugs that cause the very disease they are supposed to prevent.

This is a systematic dissection of the HIV/AID$ machine and how they hijacked a program designed to fight a worldwide plight of human suffering and drove it down the road to hell. Yet this program offers hope, inspired by the courage and articulate arguments of a group of growing voices internationally challenging the HIV=AIDS=DEATH hysteria. A MUST SEE for anyone interested in truly understanding the facts about HIV/AID$.

You will meet a number of highly reputable scientists who all agree that HIV doesn't cause AIDS, including Dr. Peter Duesberg, who was the first scientist to map the genetic structure of retroviruses. He is joined by Nobel Prize winners Dr. Kary Mullis and Dr.Walter Gilbert, along with Dr. David Rasnick, an expert in the field of protease inhibitors.


 
Is HIV/AIDS the golden idol of junk science? Judge for yourself. Professionally produced, written and researched, acclaimed by physicians, scientists, journalists and humanitarians internationally, this is the video encyclopedia of HIV/AIDS dissident movement! THE defining documentary on the HIV/AIDS fraud.

Endogenous retrovirus
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endogenous_retrovirus?fbclid=IwAR0RAR8ZYKmXUCXer2l2AqyYdbW-vD0V1m9mvK5CigZiWef4wGs5Cet0xm4

Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are endogenous viral elements in the genome that closely resemble and can be derived from retroviruses. They are abundant in the genomes of jawed vertebrates, and they comprise up to 5–8% of the human genome (lower estimates of ~1%).[1][2] ERVs are a subclass of a type of gene called a transposon, which can be packaged and moved within the genome to serve a vital role in gene expression and in regulation.[3][4] They are distinguished as retrotransposons, which are Class I elements.[5] Researchers have suggested that retroviruses evolved from a type of transposable gene called a retrotransposon, which includes ERVs; these genes can mutate and instead of moving to another location in the genome they can become exogenous or pathogenic. This means that not all ERVs may have originated as an insertion by a retrovirus but that some may have been the source for the genetic information in the retroviruses they resemble.[6] When integration of viral DNA occurs in the germ-line, it can give rise to an ERV, which can later become fixed in the gene pool of the host population.[1][7]

Dr Robert Willner Injects "HIV" into himself on TV
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQCKb1JV-4A

December 7th 1994  Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, Greensboro, N.C.,

Dr Willner (a medical doctor of 40 years experience) an outspoken whistleblower of the AIDS hoax.

infront of a gathering of about 30 alternative-medicine practitioners and several journalists, Willner stuck a needle in the finger of Andres, 27, a Fort Lauderdale student who says he has tested positive for HIV. Then, wincing, the 65-year-old doctor stuck himself.

In 1993, Dr. Willner stunned Spain by inoculating himself with the blood of Pedro Tocino, an HIV positive hemophiliac. This demonstration of devotion to the truth and the Hippocratic Oath he took, nearly 40 years before, was reported on the front page of every major newspaper in Spain. His appearance on Spain's most popular television show envoked a 4 to 1 response by the viewing audience in favor of his position against the "AIDS hypothesis." When asked why he would put his life on the line to make a point, Dr. Willner replied: "I do this to put a stop to the greatest murderous fraud in medical history. By injecting myself with HIV positive blood, I am proving the point as Dr. Walter Reed did to prove the truth about yellow fever. In this way it is my hope to expose the truth about HIV in the interest of all mankind."

He tested negative multiple times.
He died of a Heart attack 4 months later 15th April 1995

Deadly Deception the Proof That Sex And HIV Absolutely Do Not Cause AIDS
Hardcover – September 1, 1994
by Robert E. Willner

https://www.amazon.com/Deadly-Deception-Proof-Absolutely-Cause/dp/0964231611

It is heartbreaking that the public is completely unaware of the terrible crime against humanity that has been committed by our own governments. Dr Robert Willner was a very brave man who died trying to expose the truth about HIV. The truth is this: HIV is a harmless retrovirus that was shamelessly used by the US government to kill a lot of people with AZT, scare the general public into using condoms ( population control ), and make a hell of a lot of money for the pharmaceutical companies. Read this book and see that George Orwell's 1984 has come to pass after all.

Incidentally, there is a great video from 1994 on Youtube in which Dr. Robert Willner explains the HIV hoax to the press corps and then sticks his own finger with a needle that is potentially HIV infected. He put his money where his mouth is to help average people to see the truth.

The toxicity of azidothymidine (AZT) in the treatment of patients with AIDS and AIDS-related complex. A double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
Richman DD, Fischl MA, Grieco MH, Gottlieb MS, Volberding PA, Laskin OL, Leedom JM, Groopman JE, Mildvan D, Hirsch MS, et al.

Abstract
We conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of oral azidothymidine (AZT) in 282 patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) or AIDS-related complex. Although significant clinical benefit was documented (N Engl J Med 1987; 317:185-91), serious adverse reactions, particularly bone marrow suppression, were observed. Nausea, myalgia, insomnia, and severe headaches were reported more frequently by recipients of AZT; macrocytosis developed within weeks in most of the AZT group. Anemia with hemoglobin levels below 7.5 g per deciliter developed in 24 percent of AZT recipients and 4 percent of placebo recipients (P less than 0.001). Twenty-one percent of AZT recipients and 4 percent of placebo recipients required multiple red-cell transfusions (P less than 0.001). Neutropenia (less than 500 cells per cubic millimeter) occurred in 16 percent of AZT recipients, as compared with 2 percent of placebo recipients (P less than 0.001). Subjects who entered the study with low CD4 lymphocyte counts, low serum vitamin B12 levels, anemia, or low neutrophil counts were more likely to have hematologic toxic effects. Concurrent use of acetaminophen was also associated with a higher frequency of hematologic toxicity. Although a subset of patients tolerated AZT for an extended period with few toxic effects, the drug should be administered with caution because of its toxicity and the limited experience with it to date.

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the frequency of common causes leading to Pancytopenia in patients presenting to tertiary care hospital at Karachi.

Methods: A total of 62 patients with the diagnosis of Pancytopenia of more than one week duration were enrolled in the study. All patients underwent a detailed medical history and full physical examination followed by blood sampling for the investigations i.e. complete blood count with peripheral film, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), Malarial parasites (MP), liver function test, Renal function tests, PT and viral profile (HBsAg, Anti-HCV), Ultrasonography of abdomen. All patients underwent bone marrow aspiration and trephine biopsy for reporting and interpretation. Duration of study was six months, from May 2010 to November 2010.

Results: The average age of the patients was 37.76 ± 16.38years. Out of 62 patients, 36 (58%) were male and 26 (42%) were female. Megaloblastic anemia was the commonest cause that was observed in 41.9% cases followed by acute myeloid leukemia 27.4%, aplastic anemia 19.4% and erythroid hyperplasia 11.3%.

Conclusion : This study concluded that most common cause of pancytopenia is Megaloblastic anemia, followed by acute myeloid leukemia and aplastic anemia. Bone marrow examination is a single useful investigation which reveals the underlying cause in patients with pancytopenia.

Key Words: Aplastic Anemia, Bone Marrow Biopsy, Megaloblastic Anemia, Pancytopenia

False positive results on HIV tests
https://www.aidsmap.com/about-hiv/false-positive-results-hiv-tests

What causes false positive results?

HIV tests are based on the detection of antibodies to HIV. These are proteins produced by the immune system in response to a foreign substance, such as HIV. The main cause of false positive results is that the test has detected antibodies, but they are not antibodies to HIV – they are antibodies to another substance or infection. Tests are not meant to react to other types of antibodies, but it sometimes happens.

There are other reasons why a test may give a false positive result. Depending on the testing device, reading the test result may rely on subjective interpretation. When the result is borderline, experienced staff give more consistently accurate results. A false positive result could also be the result of a sample being mislabelled, mixed up with another person’s, or some other clerical or technical error.

Less commonly, false positive results may occur in people who have recently had a flu vaccine, are taking part in an HIV vaccine study, or have an autoimmune disease (such as lupus).

Some mathematical considerations on HIV and AIDS
Chapter · January 1996 with 138 Reads 

It is commonly accepted that HIV is both necessary and sufficient to cause the immunodeficiency and multiple diseases seen in patients diagnosed with AIDS. In other words it is accepted that HIV is the cause of AIDS. Upon this basis public health decisions in all Western countries regarding AIDS are made. However, many scientists now question the role of the virus (Root-Bernstein, 1993). Questions that have arisen about the virus include whether or not it is present in sufficient quantities to cause disease and whether or not AIDS is infectious. The former question has been applied to by new studies using the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique that claim to detect very large quantities of virus in HIV+ patients at all stages of disease progression. I will examine these studies and show that they do not truly answer the criticisms that have been levelled. They in fact give rise to more questions than they answer. Predictions that one can make from them contradict the observed pattern of the disease. I will also argue that data based upon the so called Quantitative Competitive PCR need to be treated with caution.

HIV-AIDS : Greatest Lie of 21 Century and the most profitable business Kindle Edition
by Dr. Biswaroop Roy Chowdhury  (Author)

This book touches the most sensitive subject of the modern world. The truth given in the book is going to shake the faith of humanity on modern medicine forever. To avoid the confusion and misunderstanding about the reality of HIV/AIDS hypothesis and keeping in mind that the subject is already too complicated with lot of stigma and taboo attached around it, the book is divided into two sections. Section Ist attempts to explain the whole story in a plain language, while the section Ilnd is in a format more acceptable to the scientific community. However, the examples in both the sections are mutually exclusive. With this, I hope the book will be able to relieve the mankind of the economic, social and psychological burden of HIV/ AIDS...forever.

Human immunodeficiency virus and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome: Correlation but no causation

AIDS is an acquired immunodeficiency syndrome defined by a severe depletion of T cells and over 20 conventional degenerative and neoplastic diseases. In the U.S. and Europe, AIDS correlates to 95% with risk factors, such as about 8 years of promiscuous male homosexuality, intravenous drug use, or hemophilia. Since AIDS also correlates with antibody to a retrovirus, confirmed in about 40% of American cases, it has been hypothesized that this virus causes AIDS by killing T cells. Consequently, the virus was termed human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and antibody to HIV became part of the definition of AIDS. The hypothesis that HIV causes AIDS is examined in terms of Koch's postulates and epidemiological, biochemical, genetic, and evolutionary conditions of viral pathology.

AIDS is an acquired immunodeficiency syndrome defined by a severe depletion of T cells and over 20 conventional degenerative and neoplastic diseases. In the U.S. and Europe, AIDS correlates to 95% with risk factors, such as about 8 years of promiscuous male homosexuality, intravenous drug use, or hemophilia. Since AIDS also correlates with antibody to a retrovirus, confirmed in about 40% of American cases, it has been hypothesized that this virus causes AIDS by killing T cells. Consequently, the virus was termed human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and antibody to HIV became part of the definition of AIDS. The hypothesis that HIV causes AIDS is examined in terms of Koch's postulates and epidemiological, biochemical, genetic, and evolutionary conditions of viral pathology. HIV does not fulfill Koch's postulates: (i) free virus is not detectable in most cases of AIDS; (ii) virus can only be isolated by reactivating virus in vitro from a few latently infected lymphocytes among millions of uninfected ones; (iii) pure HIV does not cause AIDS upon experimental infection of chimpanzees or accidental infection of healthy humans. Further, HIV violates classical conditions of viral pathology. (i) Epidemiological surveys indicate that the annual incidence of AIDS among antibody-positive persons varies from nearly 0 to over 10%, depending critically on nonviral risk factors.

Thousands of experts, scientists and politicians from around the globe have gathered in Vienna to discuss HIV/AIDS prevention. But the convention has also attracted sceptics who oppose mainstream beliefs surrounding the deadly virus. To discuss the alternative HIV/AIDS conference RT talks to Joan Shenton, founder of the Immunity Resource Foundation.

Dr. Luc Montagnier, HIV and AIDS truth exposed, Un-cuted footage from "House of Numbers"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rP_q2VI9c1w

The un-cut footage from documentary "House of Numbers" reveals truth about AIDS as told by Dr. Luc Montagnier. AIDS can be reversed. Nutrition is the answer. Hear it straight from the co-discoverer of HIV. Posted by NaturalNews.com

http://www.naturalnews.com/027631_AID...

The transcript between Brent Leung and Dr. Luc Montagnier

Leung [the filmmaker]: You talked about oxidative stress earlier. Is treating oxidative stress one of the best ways to deal with the African AIDS epidemic?

Montagnier [the scientist]: I think this is one way to approach, to decrease the rate of transmission, because I believe HIV we can be exposed to HIV many times without bring chronically infected, our immune system will get rid of the virus within a few weeks, if you have a good immune system; and this is the problem also of the African people. Their nutrition is not very equilibrated, they are in oxidative stress, even if they are not infected with HIV; so their immune system doesn't work well already. So it's prone, it can, you know, allow HIV to get in and persist. So there are many ways which are not the vaccine, the magic name, the vaccine, many ways to decrease the transmission just by simple measures of nutrition, giving antioxidants -- proper antioxidants -- hygiene measures, fighting the other infections. So they are not spectacular, but they could, you know, decrease very well the epidemic, to the level they are in occidental countries, western countries.

Leung: So if you have a good immune system, then your body can naturally get rid of HIV?

Montagnier: Yes.

Leung: Oh, interesting. Do you think we should have more of a push for antioxidants, and things of that nature, in Africa than antiretrovirals (AIDS drugs)?

Montagnier: We should push for more, you know, a combination of measures; antioxidants, nutrition advice, nutritions, fighting other infections -- malaria, tuberculosis, parasitosis, worms -- education of course, genital hygiene for women and men also, very simple measures which [are] not very expensive, but which could do a lot. And this is my, actually my worry about the many spectacular action for the global funds to buy drugs and so on, and Bill Gates and so on, for the vaccine. But you know those kind of measures are not very well funded, they're not funded at all, or they are, you know, it really depends on the local government to take choice of this, but local governments they take advice of the scientific advisors from the intelligent institutions, and they don't get this kind of advice very often.

Leung: Well there's no money in nutrition, right? There's no profit.

Montagnier: There's no profit, yes. Water is important. Water is key.

Leung: Now one thing you said, you were talking about the fact that if you have a built immune system, it is possible to get rid of HIV naturally. If you take a poor African who's been infected and you build up their immune system, is it possible for them to also naturally get rid of it?

Montagnier: [Nodding yes] I would think so.

Leung: That's an important point.

Montagnier: It's important knowledge which is completely neglected. People always think of drugs and vaccine. So this is a message which may be different from what you heard before, no?

Leung: The closing?

Montagnier: No, no, yes, my message, it's different from what you heard from (Anthony) Fauci or...

Leung: Yes, it's a little different.

Montagnier: Little different.

Abstract
We conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of oral azidothymidine (AZT) in 282 patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) or AIDS-related complex. Although significant clinical benefit was documented (N Engl J Med 1987; 317:185-91), serious adverse reactions, particularly bone marrow suppression, were observed. Nausea, myalgia, insomnia, and severe headaches were reported more frequently by recipients of AZT; macrocytosis developed within weeks in most of the AZT group. Anemia with hemoglobin levels below 7.5 g per deciliter developed in 24 percent of AZT recipients and 4 percent of placebo recipients (P less than 0.001). Twenty-one percent of AZT recipients and 4 percent of placebo recipients required multiple red-cell transfusions (P less than 0.001). Neutropenia (less than 500 cells per cubic millimeter) occurred in 16 percent of AZT recipients, as compared with 2 percent of placebo recipients (P less than 0.001). Subjects who entered the study with low CD4 lymphocyte counts, low serum vitamin B12 levels, anemia, or low neutrophil counts were more likely to have hematologic toxic effects. Concurrent use of acetaminophen was also associated with a higher frequency of hematologic toxicity. Although a subset of patients tolerated AZT for an extended period with few toxic effects, the drug should be administered with caution because of its toxicity and the limited experience with it to date.

The Perth Group - Why HIV has never been discovered
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiwM5K0kJcI
: Áð: HIV virus does not cause AIDS Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome
: Rose 10, 2019, 17:14:48
http://www.theperthgroup.com/

The view of The Perth Group is that the HIV/AIDS experts have not proven:
1.   The existence of a unique, exogenously acquired retrovirus, HIV.
2.   The "HIV" antibody tests are specific for "HIV" infection.
3.   The HIV theory of AIDS, that is, that HIV causes acquired immune deficiency (destruction of T4 lymphocytes=AID) or that AID leads to the development of the clinical syndrome AIDS.
4.   The "HIV genome", (RNA or DNA) originates in a unique, exogenously acquired infectious retroviral particle.
5.   HIV/AIDS is infectious, either by blood, blood products or sexual intercourse.
6.   Mother to child transmission of a retrovirus HIV or its inhibition with AZT or nevirapine.


The Perth Group has argued:
1.   The impossibility of haemophiliacs acquiring HIV following factor VIII infusions.
2.   That AIDS and all the phenomena inferred as "HIV" are induced by changes in cellular redox brought about by the oxidative nature of substances and exposures common to all the AIDS risk groups and to the cells used in the "culture" and "isolation" of "HIV".
3.   That AIDS will not spread outside the original risk groups.
4.   That the cessation of exposure to oxidants and/or use of anti-oxidants will improve the outcome of AIDS patients.
5.   That the pharmacological data prove AZT cannot kill "HIV" and AZT is toxic to all cells and may cause some cases of AIDS.

Endogenous retrovirus

Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are endogenous viral elements in the genome that closely resemble and can be derived from retroviruses. They are abundant in the genomes of jawed vertebrates, and they comprise up to 5–8% of the human genome (lower estimates of ~1%).[1][2] ERVs are a subclass of a type of gene called a transposon, which can be packaged and moved within the genome to serve a vital role in gene expression and in regulation.[3][4] They are distinguished as retrotransposons, which are Class I elements.[5] Researchers have suggested that retroviruses evolved from a type of transposable gene called a retrotransposon, which includes ERVs; these genes can mutate and instead of moving to another location in the genome they can become exogenous or pathogenic. This means that not all ERVs may have originated as an insertion by a retrovirus but that some may have been the source for the genetic information in the retroviruses they resemble.[6] When integration of viral DNA occurs in the germ-line, it can give rise to an ERV, which can later become fixed in the gene pool of the host population.[1][7]

Extracellular Vesicles Carry HIV
Env and Facilitate Hiv Infection of
Human Lymphoid Tissue

Anush Arakelyan, Wendy Fitzgerald, Sonia Zicari, Christophe Vanpouille & Leonid Margolis
Cells productively infected with HIV-1 release virions along with extracellular vesicles (EVs) whose
biogenesis, size, and physical properties resemble those of retroviruses. Here, we found that a
significant number of EVs (exosomes) released by HIV-1 infected cells carry gp120 (Env), a viral protein
that mediates virus attachment and fusion to target cells, and also facilitates HIV infection in various
indirect ways. Depletion of viral preparations of EVs, in particular of those that carry gp120, decreases
viral infection of human lymphoid tissue ex vivo. Thus, EVs that carry Env identified in our work seem to
facilitate HIV infection and therefore may constitute a new therapeutic target for antiviral strategy.
It is well established that various cells in vivo and in vitro release extracellular vesicles (EVs) of various size and
biogenesis1
. Many of these vesicles (exosomes) are of the same size as retroviruses, in particular HIV, and are
generated inside the cells along the pathways similar to these viruses2, 3
. Also, these EVs may incorporate proteins
that are common to viruses (e.g., tetraspanins) as well as viral genetic material4, 5
.
Until recently EVs were considered to be “cell dust” but now EVs, in particular the small ones (less than
300nm), are widely studied as a system of cell-cell communication that changes the status of the cells they interact
with6, 7
. EVs seem to affect viral infection8–12, although, the data on the actual effects of EVs on viral infection are
controversial and the mechanisms of these effects remain to be investigated.
Analysis of EVs generated by infected cells as well as the effects of EVs on viral infection are complicated by
the fact that it is almost impossible to separate them from virions in particular from HIV because of the similarities in size and physical properties. Therefore, any HIV preparation is in fact a mixture of HIV virions and EVs.
Here, we overcame some of these problems by segregating EVs through CD45 and/or acetylcholinesterase
(AChE), two proteins that are not incorporated into HIV membranes13–15 and thus can be used to distinguish
EVs from HIV virions. Using our nanotechnology “flow virometry”16, we found that a significant number of EVs
generated in HIV-infected cells carry HIV Env, thus being indistinguishable from “defective” viruses. These EVs
facilitate viral infection in human lymphoid tissue ex vivo, a system that reflects many aspects of HIV infection of
lymphoid tissue in vivo where the critical events of HIV pathogenesis occur17, 18.
Results
EVs released by HIV-infected cells carry Env. In these experiments we distinguished EVs from HIV
virions by the presence of either CD45 or AChE, which are not incorporated into virions in the course of their
biogenesis13–15. We used CD81, a tetraspanin that is incorporated in both HIV and EVs4
, to fish out both entities
for further analysis of their surface antigens. We added magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) coupled to anti-CD81
antibodies to the preparation of HIVSF162, a prototypical CCR5-tropic HIV produced by PBMC. Then, we stained
the preparation for gp120 with 2G12 fluorescently labeled antibodies, which bind to clusters of high mannose–
type glycans on the outer domain of gp12019, 20 recognizing both monomeric and trimeric Envs, and for CD45
using specific fluorescently labeled antibodies. The results of these experiments are presented in Fig. 1. Almost all
HIV (CD45 negative) particles, as expected, carry gp120. However, unexpectedly, a significant fraction of events
(on average 52.6±5.7% (n=5)) positive for gp120 carry CD45, thus presumably representing EVs (Fig. 1B). As a
control for specificity of gp120 staining, we used EVs released by uninfected PBMC (Fig. 1C).

NIH / ANTIBODIES

This document was submitted by the Perth Group (www.theperthgroup.com) as part of the Internet debate that took place as a preamble to the Presidential AIDS Advisory Panel meeting held in Johannesburg in July 2000.

In “The Evidence That HIV Causes AIDS” (http://www.niaid.nih.gov/factsheets/evidhiv.htm)  (https://aidsinfo.nih.gov/news/528/the-evidence-that-hiv-causes-aids) one reads:  “Nearly everybody with AIDS has antibodies to HIV…numerous studies from around the world show that virtually all AIDS patients are HIV-seropositive; that is they carry antibodies that indicate HIV infection”.  The relationship between a positive antibody test and AIDS is said to prove that HIV is the cause of AIDS.

There is no doubt that many, if not all, AIDS patients, at least in the USA, Europe and Australia, have a positive antibody test.  However, there is no agreement as to whether these tests “indicate HIV infection".   For example, the packet insert for the Axsym system (HIV-1/HIV-2) manufactured by Abbott Laboratories includes the words “At present there is no recognized standard for establishing the presence or absence of HIV-1 antibody in human blood”.1  This contradicts the above-mentioned NIH document which reads:

“MYTH:  HIV antibody testing is unreliable.

FACT:  Diagnosis of infection using antibody testing is one of the best-established concepts in medicine.  HIV antibody tests exceed the performance of most other infectious disease tests…Current HIV antibody tests have sensitivity and specificity in excess of 98% and are therefore extremely reliable”.2, 3

COMMENTARY

It is incomprehensible how a body of scientists at the National Institutes for Health in the US could present both sides of a scientific debate as a series of "MYTHS" and "FACTS".  Especially without providing the names of scientists who hold the opposing view or any citations to enable the reader to investigate the matter himself.  The only conclusion one can make from this behaviour is that the NIH does not want their readers to learn the full story.

Here we examine one very important "FACT" and leave it up to the reader to make his own judgement as to whether or not it is a “MYTH”.

FACT: THERE IS NO EVIDENCE A RETROVIRUS HAS BEEN ISOLATED FROM THE TISSUES OF AIDS PATIENTS.  HENCE THERE IS NO GOLD STANDARD FOR ANTIBODY TESTING FOR "HIV" INFECTION AND NO PROOF A RETROVIRUS CAUSES AIDS

To prove the specificity of an antibody test or any antibody antigen reaction, one must:

(i)         perform the test in hundreds, if not thousands, of individuals who are assumed to be infected;

(ii)        perform the test in a control group consisting of at least an equal number of individuals who are thought not to be infected, but who are sick;

(iii)       using the same samples prove the existence of HIV by a test independent of the antigen-antibody reaction, that is by using a gold standard for the reaction.

The only gold standard for the HIV antibody test is HIV itself, that is HIV isolation (purification).  At present no such proof exists.4, 5  Nowhere in the cited WHO 1998 reference can one find a gold standard being used to prove the specificity of the antibody test.  All one can find there, as the title indicates, “Comparative Evaluation of the Operational Characteristics of Commercially Available Assays”, is a comparison between 34 HIV test kits against “a panel of 595 human sera (prevalence 33.6% for HIV-1 and 10 % for HIV-2), of which 192 were from Africa, 99 from Asia, 206 from Europe and 98 from South America.  The panel included 332 HIV negative specimens and 203 sera positive for HIV-1 and 60 positive for HIV-2 specimens. In addition the sensitivity of the HIV test kits is assessed on 8 seroconversion panels from Boston Biomedica (BBI)”.   In fact, they did not even use as a gold standard what is at present considered to represent HIV isolation.

Currently, the reaction between an antibody directed against Montagnier’s p24 and antigens in cultures is considered proof for HIV isolation.  Firstly, a reaction between an antibody and an antigen cannot be considered proof for isolation of a retrovirus.  Secondly, the reaction is totally non specific.  In 1992, Jorg Shupbach, the principle author of one of the first four 1984 papers published by Gallo's group on HIV isolation, reported that the whole blood cultures of 49/60 (82%) of "presumably uninfected but serologically indeterminate individuals and 5/5 seronegative blood donors were found positive for p24".6  The non-specificity of the p24 antigen test is so obvious that it is accepted by no less an authority on HIV testing than Philip Mortimer and his colleagues from the UK Public Health Laboratory Service, "Experience has shown that neither HIV culture nor tests for p24 antigen are of much value in diagnostic testing. They may be insensitive and/or non-specific".7  Thirdly, since this reaction is an antibody-antigen reaction itself, it cannot be used as a gold standard for the antibody test.  Even if one uses this reaction as a gold standard for the antibody test, then the WHO data shows the specificity of the antibody test to be very low indeed.  In a large WHO study published in 1994, between 1992-93, 224 specimens were collected in Brazil, Rwanda, Thailand and Uganda from asymptomatic "HIV positive" individuals.  Serostatus was first confirmed in the country of origin and then at the "centralized laboratories responsible for confirming serology, virus isolation, virus expression, and distribution of reagents (George-Speyer-Hans Chemotherapentisches Forschunginstitut (GSH) in Frankfurt, Germany; National Institute for Biological Standards and Control (NIBSC) in London, United Kingdom,; and DAIDS/NIAID in Bethesda, Maryland, United States".  In this WHO study, "of a total of 224 virus cultures, 83 were positive (Isolation rate=37%)".8

As in the WHO reference, in Sloand et al3 no data is presented to prove the specificity of the HIV antibody tests.  It is only stated:  “Antibodies to HIV-1 proteins, which develop during the course of infection, include antibodies to viral core antigen (p24) and antibodies to viral envelope proteins (gp120 and gp41).  Antibodies to HIV-1 polymerase (p55) develop later, if at all.  The most widely used test, the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), is used in conjunction with a confirmatory test, the Western blot…Although there is variability depending on the test kit used, up to 70% of the initially positive ELISA results are not confirmed by the second ELISA.  Samples that are repeatedly reactive by ELISA must then be confirmed positive by a Western blot or equivalent test.  This procedure enables separation by electrophoresis of individual viral proteins, such as viral core (p24, p55 and p17) and envelope (gp120, gp160 and gp41) proteins, into well-defined bands for use as HIV-1 antigen standards.  The separated bands are transferred or “blotted” onto a nitrocellulose membrane that is cut into strips and exposed to the serum sample.  Serum antibodies to the antigen standards are detected and characterised as discrete coloured bands by use of antihuman antibody in conjugation with an enzyme, as shown in Fig. 1.  The diagnostic pattern of bands identified in the Western blot is more specific than the ELISA for viral antibodies”.

An antibody test, Western blot (WB), cannot be used as a gold standard for another antibody test, ELISA.  Just because in the WB the “viral” antigens are separate, this is not proof that the WB is more specific than ELISA.    Neither can the specificity of an antibody test be determined by repeating the test, no matter how many times.  Furthermore, at present there is no proof that the “viral core (p24, p55 and p17) and envelope (gp120, gp160 and gp41) proteins” or any other protein used in the ELISA or WB are HIV proteins.9, 10
 
According to Luc Montagnier the characterisation of proteins as HIV proteins “demands mass production and purification [of the virus].  It is necessary to do that.  And there I should say that that partially failed”.11  In fact since the material which Montagnier et al used to characterise the “viral core” protein, p24, did not even have retrovirus-like particles, much less “purified” HIV, then one has no choice but to conclude that Montagnier and his associates did not prove that p24 is an HIV protein.  Neither has anybody else since.

When Djamel Tahi asked Montagnier if Robert Gallo purified HIV, he replied:  “Gallo ?…I don’t know if he really purified.   I don’t believe so”.  Like Montagnier, Robert Gallo and his colleagues did not publish electron micrographs to show that their “purified” virus contained retrovirus-like particles.  Unlike Montagnier el al who considered the protein of molecular weight 24,000 (p24) as being the characteristic HIV proteins, Gallo et al considered a protein of molecular weight 41,000 (p41), which is the molecular weight of actin, as the most specific HIV protein.  The only proof they gave for this was its banding at the density of 1.16gm/ml and reaction with the sera of AIDS patients.

In a Franco-German study, published  in 1997, the authors, which included Hans Gelderblom, pointed out that although the 1.16gm/ml band, which is used for “biochemical and serological analyses”, is “considered to contain a population of relatively pure virus particles,…in none of the studies has the purity of the virus preparation been verified”.5  However, by 1997, ample evidence existed which showed  that the 1.16gm/ml band contains many cellular proteins including actin and myosin, the latter also an ubiquitous  protein which has two light chains of molecular weight 24,000 and 18,000.  Evidence also exists that AIDS patients have antibodies to both actin and myosin.12

Before 1987 the p120 and p160 bands could not be visualised in WB strips.  This was not unexpected since according to the HIV experts p160 is present only in infected cells, not in virus particles, and p120 to be present only in the particles’ knobs (spikes), which are rapidly lost when the particles are released.  Since the protein on the WB strips are obtained from purified HIV particles which do not possess knobs13 210 (p120) then neither p120 nor p160 should be present.  Nevertheless, in 1987, by modifying “blot preparation”, proteins of molecular weights of 120,000 and 160,000 were found which reacted with patients sera.14 306  However, no amount of “blot preparation” modification can create what is not already present.  The explanation for the presence of these bands was found in 1989 by researchers who showed that in the Western blot strip, “the components visualised in the 120-160 kDa region do not correspond to gp120 or its precursor but rather represent oligomers of gp41”.15 248  It was also shown that the WB pattern obtained  is dependent on many factors including temperature and the concentration of sodium dodecyl sulphate used to disrupt the “pure virus”.  “Confusion over the identification of these bands has resulted in incorrect conclusions in experimental studies.  Similarly, some clinical specimens may have been identified erroneously as seropositive, on the assumption that these bands reflected specific reactivity against two distinct viral components and fulfilled a criterion for true or probable positivity.  The correct identification of these bands will affect the standards to be established for Western blot positivity:  it may necessitate the reinterpretation of published results”.16 773  No notice was taken of these findings and recommendations.

Definite proof that what is considered “purified” HIV, the 1.16 gm/ml band contains neither retroviral proteins nor HIV was published in 1997.  In that year, two papers were published in Virology with the first electron micrographs of “purified HIV” obtained by banding the supernatant of “infected” cultures in sucrose density gradients.  One of the studies was by researchers from the AIDS Vaccine Program SAIL, National Cancer Institute–Frederick Cancer Research and Development, Frederick, Maryland, USA and the other by researchers from France and Germany.4, 5  The authors of both studies claimed their “purified” material contain retrovirus-like particles and in fact that they were HIV particles.  But they admitted that their material predominantly contained particles which were not viruses but “mock virus”, that is “budding membrane particles frequently called microvesicles”.  Indeed, the caption to one of the electron micrographs of the “purified” HIV reads:  “Purified vesicles from infected H9 cells (a) and activated PBMC (b) supernatants".  It does not read “purified HIV”.  In further experiments the supernatants from non-infected cultures were also banded in sucrose gradients.  They claimed that the banded material from these cultures contained only microvesicles, “mock virus” particles, but no particles with the morphology of HIV.

No reason(s) is given, other than morphological, for why some of the particles in the fractions from the “infected” cells are virus particles and the others “mock virus”.  As far as morphology is concerned, none of the particles have all the morphological characteristics attributed to HIV, or even retroviruses.

The minimum absolutely necessary but not sufficient condition to claim that what are called “HIV-1 particles” are a retrovirus and not cellular microvesicles is to show that the sucrose density fractions obtained from the “infected” cells contain proteins which are not present in the same fractions obtained from non-infected cells that is in the “mock virus”.  However, the researchers from the USA have shown this is not the case.  The only difference one can see in their SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis strips of “purified virus” and “mock virus” is quantitative, not qualitative.  This quantitative difference may be due to many reasons including the fact that there were significant differences in the history and the mode of preparation of the non-infected and “infected” H9 cell cultures, in addition to the “infection”.  A similar finding was reported by the same authors a few years earlier.17    However, while in both studies the proteins of molecular weight “near 42 kDa” (42,000) are labelled as “Actin” and  “in the 30- to 40-kDa range” as “HLA DR”, all the proteins with molecular weight higher than approximately 42,000 and lower than approximately 30,000 are left unlabelled in the earlier paper.17  In the 1997 study, three proteins of molecular weight lower than 30.000 are labelled as p24CA, P17MA, and p6/p7NC and are said to represent “major bands of viral proteins”.  However, according to the authors, “these labels were added when one of the reviewers asked for them.  He felt if would help orient readers when looking at the figure–the reviewer is correct.  We did not determine the identities of the bands in the particular gel”.(Bess, personal communication).

Since both the “purified HIV” and the “mock” virus contain the same proteins, one has no choice but to conclude that the 1.16 g/ml band, the “purified HIV”:

(i)         has no HIV proteins and thus no HIV;

(ii)        the proteins used as antigens in both the ELISA and WB antibody tests are non HIV;

(iii)       since the only evidence which is said to prove that the antibodies present  in the AIDS patients sera are HIV antibodies is their reaction with the proteins which band at 1.16 gm/ml and the assumption that they are HIV;  and since no HIV proteins are present at this band;  it follows that the AIDS patients do not have HIV antibodies.

In conclusion, although evidence exists for a correlation between the antibody tests and AIDS, no evidence exists which proves that a positive antibody test means HIV infection.

Living Without HIV Drugs

Living without HIV drugs
This website is dedicated to the true-life stories of people who have two important things in common:

1. We have all been diagnosed as HIV-Positive at some point in our lives, and
2. We have all stopped, or never started taking the HIV medications normally prescribed by our doctors and clinics and hospitals, and are living healthy, happy lives.
We want to share our stories with you, in hopes that they can be an inspiration and provide you with the hope that you, too, can live without HIV drugs and their very serious and damaging side effects.

Keep in mind that the HIV medications that you may be taking now (or will probably be pressured into taking if you are newly diagnosed as HIV-Positive) have been proven to be more dangerous than HIV itself. According to a presentation at the AIDS Conference in Barcelona in 2002, and a scientific study published in the Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (December, 2003), more HIV-Positives are dying from organ failure as a side effect from the HIV drugs than are dying from AIDS; and according to the largest and longest scientific study of HAART (Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy), the drugs being given today are even more dangerous and offer no increase in longevity than those given in 1996.

In the lefthand column is a list of names (in alphabetical order) of those who want to share their stories with you.  Simply click on a name to read their story. Some of them also have an email address at the bottom of the story if you would like to communicate with them directly, and some of them are available to listen to as podcasts by clicking here.

Infectious AIDS is a collection of thirteen articles originally published in scientific journals, which call into question the dogma of infectious AIDS. With such thought-provoking chapters as "HIV is Not the Cause of AIDS" and "AIDS acquired by Drug Consumption and Other Non-contagious Risk Factors," Duesberg explores the correlation (but not causality) between HIV and AIDS. By challenging popular AIDS theory, Duesberg investigates fresh possibilities that can transform the study and treatment of the AIDS virus.

Inventing the AIDS Virus Hardcover – February 27, 1996
by Peter Duesberg (Author), Kary Mullis (Foreword)

From Booklist
At last! This is the book every AIDS-watcher has been awaiting, in which the most prominent and persistent critic of HIV as the cause of AIDS presents his case most exhaustively and popularly. Duesberg, himself a virologist, stoutly maintains that HIV cannot cause AIDS because it fails to meet the rules by which a virus is implicated as disease-causing. He says that the causes of AIDS in First World countries most probably are overuse of toxic drugs--by legal prescription (e.g., AZT) as well as illicit use (e.g., the nitrite inhalants known as poppers that are used to enhance sexual capability)--and multiple and repeated infections with venereal diseases; in the Third World, they are malnutrition and maladies (e.g., tuberculosis) rare in wealthy nations but still prevalent in poor ones as well as, again, substance abuse. Duesberg massively documents and cogently argues these positions but not before laying out the historic and political reasons why most members of his profession and related medical specialists seized on a viral causation for AIDS. Basically, virologists wanted another success like that with polio and, frustrated by complete failure to find viral causes for cancer, took up AIDS as the perfect challenge as well as, once HIV was discovered, a ticket for prolonging their first-class ride on the medical research gravy train. Strong stuff, but Duesberg has never been alone in this analysis or in his scientific arguments. He has never before gathered his case together and presented it to the general public, though, so regard this book as a milestone essential to any collection concerned with AIDS. Ray Olson

From Kirkus Reviews
A well-credentialed scientist's hard-driving attack on the accepted view that AIDS is an infectious disease caused by HIV. Duesberg (Molecular biology/Univ. of Calif., Berkeley), an early researcher in the field of retroviruses, asserts that HIV, like virtually all retroviruses, is harmless. He finds that HIV meets none of the usual criteria (such as the six laws of virology) used to establish that a microbe causes disease. But if that is so, why do scientists persist in saying that AIDS is an epidemic caused by HIV? As Duesberg tells it, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention needed a serious epidemic to justify its continued existence, and by naming AIDS a single contagious disease, it created an atmosphere of public fear that brought it increased funding and power. The biomedical establishment took note. Having failed to find a viral cause of cancer, Duesberg says, virus hunters needed a new disease, and AIDS was it. The HIV-AIDS connection was then announced by Robert Gallo, head of a retrovirus lab at the National Cancer Institute, at a 1984 press conference rather than demonstrated in a peer- reviewed scientific paper. Further, Duesberg charges, the pharmaceutical companies exploited the situation by bringing back highly toxic failed cancer drugs, such as AZT, which, he says, destroys the immune system and causes AIDS-like symptoms. Duesberg cites other scientists who have questioned the HIV-AIDS hypothesis, among them several Nobel laureates, including Kary Mullis (for Chemistry), the author of this book's foreword. Duesberg's own theory is that AIDS is linked to the use of immunity-suppressing illicit drugs (such as crack and ``poppers''), and he urges investigation along these lines. One need not accept Duesberg's drug hypothesis, however, to be persuaded that the serious charges he makes deserve serious answers. A controversial book, certain to be met with strong resistance from the biomedical establishment. Four appendixes (not seen) include articles on HIV by Duesberg in scientific journals. -- Copyright ©1996, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.

What If Everything You Thought You Knew About AIDS Was Wrong? 4th Rev Edition
by Christine Maggiore


" Clear, concise and completely accurate, Maggiore's powerful little book is highly recommended reading for anyone who has ever had the doubt about any aspect of the 'global AIDS pandemic,' and is absolutely compulsory reading for those few never have." -- Harvey Bialy, PhD Editor at large, Nature Biotechnology

" This book exposes the many incongruencies in conventional wisdom and establishes why we must question how AIDS research and treatment are currently conducted. The paradox of the search for an AIDS cure is that the thing most neededopen debate and scientific exchangeis the thing most feared by the AIDS establishment." -- Bob Guccione, Jr. Editor and publisher, Gear magazine

" This splendid book is a perfect text for provoking university students. It requires them to think critically about sexuality and public health, obliging them to scrutinize the unscientific dogmas churned out by the AIDS orthodoxy. Maggiore's book should be required reading for all undergraduates." -- Charles Geshekter, PhD Department of History, California State University, Chico

" Until recently, I was a physician at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, the number-one funded AIDS research center in the country. Before January of 1998, my knowledge of AIDS was typical; I knew that HIV caused AIDS because that's what the textbooks said. I had no reason to think otherwise and never knew or cared that anybody thought differently. I ordered this book on a whim, but once I started reading it, I didn't stop until I hit the back cover.

" I used to think that medical research wasn't politically directed and financially motivated, and that pharmaceutical companies wouldn't compromise patient well-being for a profit. I used to think the FDA was there to protect the American public. Now I know better. Now I tell the story of AIDS to anyone who will listen." -- Rob Hodson, MD Former professor of anesthesiology, University of Alabama, Birmingham

A succinct summary of the gaping holes in the official view of AIDS, this book has become an underground classic. Christine Maggiore, whose own HIV positive diagnosis didn't stop her from disobeying the authorities and giving birth to a healthy child, challenges all the politically correct opinions about the health crisis. A straightforward, jargon-free little book that provides volumes of highly explosive intellectual ammunition in its brief pages." -- Ian Young Author, The Stonewall Experiment: A Gay Psychohistory

Rethinking AIDS: The Tragic Cost of Premature Consensus Hardcover – 26 Mar 1993
by Robert Scott Root-Bernstein (Author)

When basketball hero Magic Johnson recently announced that he had tested positive for HIV, the public naturally assumed it was only a matter of time before he developed full-blown AIDS. But is the link between HIV and AIDS really established? Most physicians now believe that HIV is tantamount to a death sentence. They also believe that AIDS is a fundamentally new disease whose cause remained unknown until the discovery of HIV. That discovery was hailed as a great advance in the fight against this devastating plague, and it has been cited to justify the continuing huge expenditure of billions of dollars a year in public funds on AIDS research. But do we know that AIDS is new? Do we really know its cause? Robert Root-Bernstein, a researcher in biochemistry and autoimmune diseases, argues that AIDS is not new, and strongly criticizes the AIDS research extablishment for ignoring historical data to the contrary in their haste to declare the AIDS puzzle solved. In fact, he argues, AIDS has been around a lot longer than anyone realizes; its fundamental cause is depression of the immune system; that this can occur for many different reasons; and that the relation between HIV and AIDS may be more correlational than causal. In short, we still don't know what causes AIDS. Lifestyle theories of causation are just as plausible, given the current state of knowledge, as the HIV hypothesis. Root-Bernstein provides a thorough and authoritative, yet accessible view of the existing AIDS research, drawing on medical records to show that hundreds of cases of AIDS may have occurred in the course of the past hundred years, and presenting several plausible alternatives to the HIV hypothesis.

Ten Lies About Aids Paperback – September 30, 2008
by De Harven, Etienne (Author), Jean-Claude Roussez (Contributor)

HIV infection is not the cause of AIDS. Severe immune deficiencies, commonly referred to as AIDS, result from the toxicity of many recreational drugs and of most antiretroviral medications, from the abuse of antibiotics and certain therapeutic protocols, from inappropriate life style, and/or from malnutrition, alone or combined.

This book falsifies ten lies that are the pillars of the HIV/AIDS dogma. These lies are that: 1 - AIDS is a new syndrome;
2 - The existence of HIV has been appropriately demonstrated;
3 - HIV is actually the cause of AIDS;
4 - Antiretroviral medications are helpful for AIDS sufferers;
5 - Seropositivity indicates an active process of HIV infection;
6 - AIDS is a contagious pathological process;
7 - HIV is responsible for numerous illnesses;
8 - It is better for people to know their serological HIV status;
9 - There is indeed an AIDS pandemic affecting the general population;
10 - All medical researchers agree, indisputably, that HIV is the cause of AIDS.

The fallacy of these ten statements is explained in a language that is accessible for the public at large. It is convincingly supported by a broad selection of bibliographical references.

Obviously, AIDS research has been placed on the wrong track for the past 20 years, and AIDS statistics have been alarmingly inflated, for maximizing the enormous profits of the pharmaceutical industry. This has created a dramatic public health problem that should most urgently be corrected.

Fortunately, this book ends up on a very optimistic consideration: being caused by toxic substances and nutritional deficiencies, AIDS can (and hopefully will) be readily prevented and cured, at a cost that shall be affordable for all governments of the planet.

We'll know our disinformation program is complete
when everything the American public believes is false.

CIA-director William Casey

Following the group "Rethinking AIDS", listing more than 2.700 people - amongst prominent scientists and two Nobel prize winners - most cases of AIDS are caused by drugs, like poppers and heroin. Poppers were and still are very popular within the gay community. Dr de Harven says : "Affordably priced, the principal advantage of poppers was to relax the anal sphincter, reducing pain caused by repetitive penetration, maintaining erection and intensifying orgasm, all effects of particular interest for fast-track homosexuals. Nitrites, the active agents of poppers, are dangerous poisons which cause, amongst other things damage to the lungs and heart, fungal infections, neurological disorders, genetic mutations, and above all immune deficiencies, by their action on the bone marrow where blood cells are manufactured. Once they are in the blood, nitrites convert themselves into nitric oxide and damage the internal walls of the blood vessels, which explain their implication in cancer of the capillaries such as Kaposi's sarcoma. The intensive use of various drugs was (and still is) the principal factor in immunodeficiency among male homosexuals."

The "debate" between the AIDS-establishment, which consider AIDS to be contagious, vs. the AIDS-dissidents, which consider AIDS to be the consequence of the use of drugs and/or malnutrition, can easily be solved by science itself. In 1884, Robert Koch set up four postulates which must be fulfilled to consider a disease being contagious. Would AIDS really be contagious, then the following must be demonstrated :

1. The virus must be found in all AIDS-patients;

2. The virus must be isolated from an AIDS-patient and reproduced in laboratory;

3. The isolated virus must cause AIDS when introduced in a new, healthy host;

4. The virus should be isolated again from this sick host.

Let's check those postulates, guided by Dr. de Harven :

1. Not all AIDS-patients are HIV-positive.

Thousands of AIDS-patients aren't HIV-positive. So far for the first postulate.

2. "HIV" has never been isolated; Luc Montagnier didn't take his sample from an ill AIDS-patient.

The title of the article of Luc Montagnier is very clear : "Isolation of a T-lymphotropic retrovirus from a patient at risk for acquired immune deficiency syndrome [AIDS]". This patient had "swollen lymph nodes but no AIDS" ! This fact alone goes against the essence of the second postulate of Koch. It is obvious that a possible parasite should have been isolated from an ill AIDS-patient.

The title of this article suggests furthermore that a retrovirus was isolated. In principle scientific investigation must be confirmed by the reproduction of the research in other laboratories. In the case of this original paper by Montagnier this happened only fifteen years later. To make things worse, none of the two laboratories were able to find a virus in the cell culture of Montagnier. Dr de Harven says : "... it took fifteen years for the most obvious control experiments to be carried out, in two laboratories, one in the United States and the other in France. These two laboratories jointly published, in Virology, the results of their electron microscopic studies of the sucrose gradients obtained from the cell cultures supposed to produce "HIV". In both cases, the authors observed an abundance of cell debris, without any evidence of retroviral particles. At about the same time, Luc Montagnier was interviewed by journalist Djamel Tahi and finally admitted on videotape that in effect, "HIV" had never been purified in his laboratory."

Dr Étienne de Harven, the first scientist who identified a retrovirus with the electron microscope in the fifties, calls "HIV" therefore a *hypothetical virus*.

3. Blood from AIDS-patients and "HIV" were injected in chimpanzees without causing AIDS.

Several chimpanzees were injected with blood from AIDS-patients in 1983. In 1984 150 chimpanzees were contaminated with the "HIV" cell culture of Montagnier. Afterwards all those chimpanzees tested "HIV-positive", but not a single one has ever shown symptoms of AIDS , which made it impossible to even intent the next phase of the postulates of Koch : the isolation of the virus in an contaminated, ill host.

The conclusion is clear : not a single one of the four postulates of Koch are fulfilled ! This is scientific proof that *AIDS is not a contagious disease* !

If "HIV" doesn't exist, it is clear that the "HIV-test" won't produce anything that is relevant. The Western Blot test reacts on ten (10) proteins considered to be the hypothetical building blocks of the hypothetical HIV-virus. International consensus on the interpretation of this test doesn't exist. Dr de Harven says : "because the lack of an international standard, patients can be diagnosed HIV positive or negative according to which country they live in. Out of the ten test bands which Western Blot counts, two are sufficient in order to be judged "positive" and declared infected in Africa. In Great Britain, it would need three; and four in Australia. More embarrassingly, the tests have such a questionable specificity that the manufacturers themselves state that they cannot be used to confirm or disprove the presence of "HIV"".

The French comedian Coluche told us that AIDS is being spread by the mass media. He is right, but it is no fun. Millions of people have been tested on HIV following recommendations of their doctors. Others even voluntarily asked their doctor to be tested, following the never-ending propaganda by the mass media. This massive blood testing campaign would soon produce positive results for the AIDS-establishment. All of a sudden, millions of people became "HIV-positive". But only then the drama really began. Brainwashing by the modern mass media is extremely effective. Everybody knew that AIDS was a terminal illness : HIV = AIDS = DEATH. On top of that, all those "HIV-positives" received the blame for their illness due to their "derailed sexlife". In most cases, this would produce the voluntarily isolation of the HIV-positives from society. Those who weren't eager to isolate themselves were in most cases discriminated. It's a lose/lose-situation. Finally, self-confidence cracks. It's a modern curse. HIV-positives became the modern pariahs.

HIV-positives don't ask questions. They are convinced that they will die, and seek support in their doctors. They fully believe that science will help them with their "miracle drugs". What they don't understand is that science has betrayed them and us, and has become *junk science* that no longer fulfills its original humanistic principles, but has been corrupted by powerful corporate interests. The "miracle drug" AZT suppresses the immune system ... In healthy people who have had the bad luck to test "HIV-positive" those "drugs" produce AIDS... Dr Étienne de Harven asks the AIDS-establishment to answer a simple question: "Could you give us the name of one single AIDS patient that has been CURED by any anti-retroviral drugs?"

Anybody who is taking those toxic drugs should stop immediately. Maria Papagiannidou was one of the first Greeks to test positive on "HIV" in 1985, when she was only 20 years old. From 1995, and during twelve years, she took all kinds of AIDS-drugs. She went through hell... Finally, she saw the truth in 2007. On her long suffering she wrote Goodbye AIDS! Did it ever exist?, in which she says : "How I defeated AIDS? It was quite simple. I discovered that they were lying!"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alive_%26_Well_AIDS_Alternatives

Alive & Well AIDS Alternatives (formerly HEAL, Health Education AIDS Liaison) is a 501(c) non-profit organization of AIDS denialists.[1] The organization's stated mission is to "present information that raises questions about the accuracy of HIV tests, the safety and effectiveness of AIDS drug treatments, and the validity of most common assumptions about HIV and AIDS."[2] The organization's founder, Christine Maggiore (who died from AIDS-related complications in 2008) estimated in 2005 that the organization had assisted about 50 HIV-positive mothers in developing legal strategies to avoid having their children tested or treated for HIV.[3]

Founding
See also: Christine Maggiore
Alive & Well AIDS Alternatives was founded in 1995 by the late Christine Maggiore, who had tested HIV-positive in 1992. Although Maggiore was initially active in the AIDS community, providing AIDS and HIV education through AIDS Project Los Angeles, she later came to question her diagnosis. Ultimately, she came to believe that HIV was not the cause of AIDS, and formed Alive & Well to expound her views.

Maggiore became a controversial figure following the death of her 3-year-old daughter, Eliza Jane Scovill. Eliza Jane was never tested for HIV and died on May 16, 2005 of Pneumocystis pneumonia in the setting of advanced AIDS.[4] Maggiore did not believe that Eliza Jane had AIDS, and attributed her death to an allergic reaction to amoxicillin.[5] Mohammed Al-Bayati, a board member of Alive & Well and a veterinary toxicologist, issued his own report arguing that a drug reaction, not AIDS, was responsible for Eliza Jane's death.[6] Eliza Jane's death was the subject of reports by ABC Primetime Live[7] and the Los Angeles Times;[3] several independent medical experts contacted by these programs agreed unequivocally that Eliza Jane had died of complications of AIDS.

On December 29, 2008, Maggiore died at the age of 52. She was under a doctor's care and was being treated for pneumonia. A doctor familiar with the family suggests that anti-HIV drugs could have prevented her death, but Maggiore's fellow AIDS denialists state that her pneumonia was not related to AIDS and that she died as a result of an alternative medicine treatment.[8]

Members
The advisory board of Alive & Well AIDS Alternatives includes many prominent AIDS denialists, such as Harvey Bialy, Peter Duesberg, Eleni Papadopulos-Eleopulos, Gavin de Becker,[9] Peggy O'Mara of Mothering (magazine),[9] and David Rasnick.[2]

The organization's membership has been subject to attrition as members die from HIV/AIDS, or leave after noticing the heightened rate at which fellow members do so.[10]

Advocacy
Although there is extensive scientific evidence to the contrary,[11][12] Alive & Well AIDS Alternatives promotes the viewpoint that HIV is not the cause of AIDS. The organization also espouses the viewpoints that:[2]

HIV tests are inaccurate.
AIDS is not a major problem in Africa.
Pregnant women should not take antiretroviral medication to prevent HIV transmission to their children.
The syndrome of AIDS in fact results from malnutrition, mental stress, AZT, recreational drug use among gay men, or other causes.
The mainstream scientific community's efforts to promote AIDS awareness and develop effective treatments are examples of fearmongering and are compromised by ties to the pharmaceutical industry.
Alive & Well AIDS Alternatives encourages the use of alternative therapies for HIV-positive people in place of mainstream treatments. Examples of treatments advanced by Alive & Well as substitutes for antiretroviral therapy include herbal and nutritional therapy, naturopathic medicine, homeopathy, therapeutic enemas, acupuncture, and "imagery".[2]

Scientists and AIDS activists have decried the activities of Alive & Well AIDS Alternatives and other AIDS denialist organizations, arguing that by persuading people to forgo proven treatments they are causing unnecessary and preventable deaths. Speaking at the XVI International AIDS Conference, leading HIV/AIDS researcher John Moore stated:

...infants whose HIV infected mothers listen to AIDS denialists never got the chance to make their own decisions. The Maggiore case received wide publicity. Christine Maggiore is a person who’s proselytized against the use of antiretrovirals to prevent HIV/AIDS. She’s a classic AIDS denialist, and she gave birth to a child who died at age three late last year of an AIDS-related infection... that was another unnecessary death.[13]

Alive & Well AIDS Alternatives encourages people to "get involved" by passing out literature, donating copies of Christine Maggiore's book What If Everything You Knew About AIDS Was Wrong?, contacting radio and television shows, writing to newspapers and magazines, and starting their own discussion groups.[2]

The Origin, Persistence and Failings of HIV/AIDS Theory 1st Edition
by Henry H. Bauer  (Author)

Thanks to enormous funding for educational programs, the whole world "knows" that HIV causes AIDS. But is what we know compatible with the facts? This book challenges the conventional wisdom on this issue. Collating and analyzing, for the first time, the results of more than two decades of HIV testing, it reveals that the common assumptions about HIV and AIDS are incompatible with the published data. Among the many topics explored are the failings of HIV testing, statistical evidence that HIV is neither sexually transmitted nor increasingly prevalent, and problems caused by the differing diagnostic criteria for AIDS around the world.

But how could everyone have been so wrong for so long? This vital question, unaddressed in previous works questioning the HIV-AIDS connection, is central to this book. The author considers comparable missteps of modern science, and discusses how funding influences discovery in today's scientific circles.

Positively False: Exposing the Myths Around HIV and AIDS Hardcover – March 15, 1998
by Joan Shenton  (Author)

A prize-winning medical journalist sets out to show that the HIV=AIDS=death hypothesis, which has wrongly acquired the force of certainty, has been riddled with flaws leading to distorted results, wrong conclusions and needless suffering. Shenton argues that research has been driven by the financial interests of pharmaceutical companies and by the ambitions of unscrupulous scientists equally anxious to protect their research funding, their patented HIV test kits, and ultimately their egos.


Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Written by a British medical journalist who has produced several documentary films on AIDS, this work presents an alternative to the overwhelmingly accepted belief that the HIV virus causes AIDS. Relying heavily on the work of Peter Duesberg, a molecular biologist who believes not only that HIV does not cause AIDS but also that AIDS is not an infectious disease at all (see his Inventing the Aids Virus, LJ 3/1/96), the author attempts to debunk the accepted scientific thought on this issue. Her work is fairly interesting, but she weakens her own case by resorting to name-calling; for example, she refers to well-known AIDS researcher Robert Gallo and his co-workers as the "King of Virology and his Courtiers." She also repeatedly expresses the dubious notion that mainstream AIDS researchers throughout the world, ignoring the obvious human costs, have closed ranks against dissenting opinions merely in order to protect their own financial interests. Only libraries with comprehensive AIDS collections or where there is great interest in AIDS might consider purchasing this book.?Linda Gleason, formerly with the Univ. of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey Lib., Newark

Science Sold Out: Does HIV Really Cause AIDS? (Terra Nova) Paperback – January 2, 2007
by Rebecca Culshaw  (Author), Harvey Bialy (Foreword)

There are many well-established scientific reasons that the HIV/AIDS hypothesis is highly doubtful. In Science Sold Out, Rebecca Culshaw describes her slow uncovering of these reasons over her years researching HIV for her work constructing mathematical models of its interaction with the immune system. It is rare that a researcher who has received funding to study HIV ever expresses any doubt in the paradigm, and an even rarer event still when she abandons the field altogether. This book focuses on the changing definition of AIDS and the flaws in all HIV testing. In a much broader sense, it explains how the current, government-based structure of scientific research has corrupted science as the search for truth. It offers not only scientific reasons for HIV/AIDS being untenable, but also sociological explanations as to how the theory was accepted by the media and the world so quickly. In particular, this book offers a scathing criticism of the outrageous discriminatory measures that have been leveled at HIV-positives from the inception.


Editorial Reviews
Review
"An excellent account of the most shameful episode in the history of medicine. Rebecca Culshaw has pulled it all together: a history of inept and dishonest AIDS ‘science,’ the manifold reasons HIV cannot be the cause of AIDS, the harmfulness of AIDS drugs, the physical and psychological human suffering caused by the AIDS hoax."
—John Lauritsen, author of Poison By Prescription: The AZT Story and The AIDS War

"Every mathematician knows that by changing the definition of something, you can change the entire truth about that thing. Rebecca Culshaw describes how the HIV = AIDS ‘orthodoxists’ have abused this idea. As in a shell game, they keep moving the definitions around, so that anything can be true and everyone will be confused. The abuse of science that has been documented here is itself very frightening. But when we learn that the standard treatment for HIV-positives—antiviral therapy—will substantially increase their risk of dying, it’s even scarier."
—Dan Fendel, professor of mathematics, emeritus, San Francisco State University

What is needed to prove or disprove the HIV theory of AIDS?

There are three ways to resolve this debate:

The first is to garner enough public opinion to mandate a public debate between a small number of protagonists and dissidents. This debate should be international, public and adjudicated by a number of disinterested scientists of Nobel Laureate class who must present the international community with a resolution as to the way forward.

The second is for HIV seropositive individuals to have the evidence for their diagnoses of "HIV" infection examined in courts of law.

The third is to perform isolation experiments to prove whether or not a retrovirus "HIV" exists in individuals with a positive antibody test or AIDS. An outline of these experiments can be found in the Presidential AIDS Advisory Panel report.

What are the particles Montagnier presented as HIV in his Nobel Lecture?
http://www.theperthgroup.com/Nobel/MontagnierEMNobel.pdf

In 1997 Djamel Tahi asked Montagnier if electron micrographs of purified HIV
had been published. Montagnier replied “I couldn't tell you...we have some
somewhere .. but it is not of interest, not of any interest”.1
 Although he accepts it
is absolutely necessary to purify the virus particles in order to prove the existence
of a new virus,1
 in his Nobel lecture Montagnier did not produce such evidence.
Nonetheless, he showed an electron micrograph of particles and said “thanks to
the electron microscopy, made by Charles Dauget, we could see very
characteristic particles, of course budding particles like retroviruses, but also
particles with a dense core which also differentiated [them] from the HTLV-I
virus”*. For a Nobel lecture one assumes Montagnier would select the best EM
he had on offer, one showing particles in which all the defining morphological
features of lentiviruses are clearly visible. (All Montagnier’s slides are HERE
(6.23 MB pdf)).

https://www.nobelprize.org/uploads/2018/06/montagnier_slides.pdf

*In 1983 Montagnier classifed his particles as a “typical type-C RNA tumor virus”.2
 That is, under the retroviral taxonomy that existed in 1983, Montagnier’s particles are a type C retrovirus particle, the same taxonomy as HTLV-I.3

Response
Re: An apparently missing control experiment on HIV/AIDS
Re: An apparently missing control experiment on HIV / AIDS

In his rapid response, “An apparently missing control experiment on
HIV / AIDS”, 14 March 2004, with respect to Montagnier’s 1983 paper,
Etienne de Harven wrote: “…the paper was illustrated with an excellent
electron microcopy (EM) picture showing unquestionably typical retrovirus
particles budding from the surface of an infected lymphocyte.”

The presence of buds on cell surfaces does not prove that the buds
represent retrovirus particles. These buds may be nothing else but
cellular protrusions resulting from localised contraction of the actin-
myosin system induced by the oxidizing agents to which the cell cultures
are subjected. (1) That is, although buds are characteristic of
retroviral particles, they are not specific.

According to Montagnier et al “That this new isolate was a retrovirus
was further indicated by its density in a sucrose gradient, which was
1.16…” (2) However, we know now in the material which banded at
1.16gm/ml, the “purified virus”, Montagnier and his colleagues could not
find any particles with the “morphology typical of retroviruses”. (3)
This means that even if the cell-free particles originated from buds on
the cell surface neither the buds nor the cell free particles could have
had anything to do with either an endogenous or exogenous retrovirus.

Etienne wrote: “It appears that a most crucial, control experiment
has been omitted, in 1983, when the team at the Pasteur Institute in Paris
published their historical paper on the alleged “isolation” of HIV (LAV) …
Can any BMJ reader help to identify a laboratory where one could perform
the following, short, non-expensive, control experiment that is obviously
missing?

The experiment will be as simple as this: 1) Isolate lymphocytes from
human umbilical cord blood, 2) Place these lymphocytes in cell cultures,
exposing the cells to exactly the same growth factors (PHA and TCGF) as
those used in the 1983 experiments, in absence of any other cellular
elements; 3) Prepare these lymphocytes sequentially, for transmission
electron microcopy; 4) Search, by EM, for budding retroviral particles on
the surface of these cultured lymphocytes. I am personally convinced that
if positive results are obtained (i.e. budding retrovirus on stimulated
cord blood lymphocytes in the total absence of any AIDS patient material),
a profound reappraisal of the 1983 Pasteur paper will appear imperatively
necessary. I would be happy to contribute as an advisor and as an electron
microscopist, anytime, anywhere.”

Such an experiment has already been carried out. Budding retrovirus
-like particles have been reported in “non-HIV infected” cord blood
lymphocytes as well as many other cells used for “HIV isolation”.(4)

Extracellular vesicles and viruses: Are they close relatives?

Esther Nolte-‘t Hoena
, Tom Cremera
, Robert C. Gallob,1, and Leonid B. Margolisc
Edited by Peter K. Vogt, The Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, CA, and approved June 27, 2016 (received for review April 4, 2016)
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by various cells are small phospholipid membrane-enclosed entities that can
carry miRNA. They are now central to research in many fields of biology because they seem to constitute a new
system of cell–cell communication. Physical and chemical characteristics of many EVs, as well as their biogenesis
pathways, resemble those of retroviruses. Moreover, EVs generated by virus-infected cells can incorporate viral
proteins and fragments of viral RNA, being thus indistinguishable from defective (noninfectious) retroviruses.
EVs, depending on the proteins and genetic material incorporated in them, play a significant role in viral
infection, both facilitating and suppressing it. Deciphering the mechanisms of EV-cell interactions may facilitate
the design of EVs that inhibit viral infection and can be used as vehicles for targeted drug delivery.

Extracellular Vesicles Carry HIV
Env and Facilitate Hiv Infection of
Human Lymphoid Tissue
Anush Arakelyan, Wendy Fitzgerald, Sonia Zicari, Christophe Vanpouille & Leonid Margolis
Cells productively infected with HIV-1 release virions along with extracellular vesicles (EVs) whose
biogenesis, size, and physical properties resemble those of retroviruses. Here, we found that a
significant number of EVs (exosomes) released by HIV-1 infected cells carry gp120 (Env), a viral protein
that mediates virus attachment and fusion to target cells, and also facilitates HIV infection in various
indirect ways. Depletion of viral preparations of EVs, in particular of those that carry gp120, decreases
viral infection of human lymphoid tissue ex vivo. Thus, EVs that carry Env identified in our work seem to
facilitate HIV infection and therefore may constitute a new therapeutic target for antiviral strategy.
It is well established that various cells in vivo and in vitro release extracellular vesicles (EVs) of various size and
biogenesis1
. Many of these vesicles (exosomes) are of the same size as retroviruses, in particular HIV, and are
generated inside the cells along the pathways similar to these viruses2, 3
. Also, these EVs may incorporate proteins
that are common to viruses (e.g., tetraspanins) as well as viral genetic material4, 5
.
Until recently EVs were considered to be “cell dust” but now EVs, in particular the small ones (less than
300nm), are widely studied as a system of cell-cell communication that changes the status of the cells they interact
with6, 7
. EVs seem to affect viral infection8–12, although, the data on the actual effects of EVs on viral infection are
controversial and the mechanisms of these effects remain to be investigated.
Analysis of EVs generated by infected cells as well as the effects of EVs on viral infection are complicated by
the fact that it is almost impossible to separate them from virions in particular from HIV because of the similarities in size and physical properties. Therefore, any HIV preparation is in fact a mixture of HIV virions and EVs.
Here, we overcame some of these problems by segregating EVs through CD45 and/or acetylcholinesterase
(AChE), two proteins that are not incorporated into HIV membranes13–15 and thus can be used to distinguish
EVs from HIV virions. Using our nanotechnology “flow virometry”16, we found that a significant number of EVs
generated in HIV-infected cells carry HIV Env, thus being indistinguishable from “defective” viruses. These EVs
facilitate viral infection in human lymphoid tissue ex vivo, a system that reflects many aspects of HIV infection of
lymphoid tissue in vivo where the critical events of HIV pathogenesis occur17, 18.

INTERVIEW LUC MONTAGNIER
Did Luc Montagnier Discover HIV?

By Djamel Tahi

Continuum Winter 1997


Text of a videotape interview performed at the Pasteur Institute, July 1997. Please note: The answers by Luc Montagnier have been numbered for easier reference to the analyses in the reply by Papadopulos-Eleopulos et al.

DT: A group of scientists from Australia argues that nobody up till now has isolated the AIDS virus, HIV. For them the rules of retrovirus isolation have not been carefully respected for HIV. These rules are: culture, purification of the material by ultracentrifugation, Electron Microscopic (EM) photographs of the material which bands at the retrovirus density, characterisation of these particles, proof of the infectivity of the particles.

LM: No, that is not isolation. We did isolation because we "passed on" the virus, we made a culture of the virus. For example Gallo said : "They have not isolated the virus...and we (Gallo et al.), we have made it emerge in abundance in an immortal cell line." But before making it emerge in immortal cell lines, we made it emerge in cultures of normal lymphocytes from a blood donor. That is the principal criterion. One had something one could pass on serially, that one could maintain. And characterised as a retrovirus not only by its visual properties, but also biochemically, RT [reverse transcriptase] activity which is truly specific of retroviruses. We also had the reactions of antibodies against some proteins, probably the internal proteins. I say probably by analogy with knowledge of other retroviruses. One could not have isolated this retrovirus without knowledge of other retroviruses, that's obvious. But I believe we have answered the criteria of isolation. Totally. (1)

DT: Let me come back on the rules of retrovirus isolation which are : culture, purification at the density of retroviruses, EM photographs of the material at the retrovirus density, characterisation of the particles, proof of the infectivity of the particles. Have all these steps been done for the isolation of HIV? I'd like to add, according to several published references cited by the Australian group, RT is not specific to retroviruses and, moreover, your work to detect RT was not done on the purified material?

LM: I believe we published in Science (May 1983) a gradient which showed that the RT had exactly the density of 1.16. So one had a peak which was RT. So one has fulfiled this criterion for purification. But to pass it on serially is difficult because when you put the material in purification, into a gradient, retroviruses are very fragile, so they break each other and greatly lose their infectivity. But I think even so we were able to keep a little of their infectivity. But it was not as easy as one does it today, because the quantities of virus were nonetheless very weak. At the beginning we stumbled on a virus which did not kill cells. The virus came from an asymptomatic patient and so was classified amongst the non-syncythia-forming, non-cytopathogenic viruses using the co-receptor ccr5. It was the first BRU virus. One had very little of it, and one could not pass it on in an immortal cell line. We tried for some months, we didn't succeed. We succeeded very easily with the second strain. But there lies the quite mysterious problem of the contamination of that second strain by the first. That was LAI. (2)

DT: Why do the EM photographs published by you, come from the culture and not from the purification?

LM: There was so little production of virus it was impossible to see what might be in a concentrate of virus from a gradient. There was not enough virus to do that. Of course one looked for it, one looked for it in the tissues at the start, likewise in the biopsy. We saw some particles but they did not have the morphology typical of retroviruses. They were very different. Relatively different. So with the culture it took many hours to find the first pictures. It was a Roman effort! It's easy to criticise after the event. What we did not have, and I have always recognised it, was that it was truly the cause of AIDS. (3)

DT: How is it possible without EM pictures from the purification, to know whether these particles are viral and appertain to a retrovirus, moreover a specific retrovirus?

LM: Well, there were the pictures of the budding. We published images of budding which are characteristic of retroviruses. Having said that, on the morphology alone one could not say it was truly a retrovirus. For example, a French specialist of EMs of retroviruses publicly attacked me saying: "This is not a retrovirus, it is an arenavirus". Because there are other families of virus which bud and have spikes on the surface, etc. (4)

DT: Why this confusion? The EM pictures did not show clearly a retrovirus?

LM: At this period the best known retroviruses were those of type C, which were very typical. This retrovirus wasn't a type C and lentiviruses were little known. I myself recognised it by looking at pictures of Equine infectious anaemia virus at the library, and later of the visna virus. But I repeat, it was not only the morphology and the budding, there was RT...it was the assemblage of these properties which made me say it was a retrovirus. (5)

DT: About the RT, it is detected in the culture. Then there is purification where one finds retroviral particles. But at this density there are a lot of others elements, among others those which one calls "virus-like".

LM: Exactly, exactly. If you like, it is not one property but the assemblage of the properties which made us say it was a retrovirus of the family of lentiviruses. Taken in isolation, each of the properties isn't truly specific. It is the assemblage of them. So we had: the density, RT, pictures of budding and the analogy with the visna virus. Those are the four characteristics. (6)

DT: But how do all these elements allow proof that it is a new retrovirus? Some of these elements could appertain to other things, "virus-like"...?

LM: Yes, and what's more we have endogenous retroviruses which sometimes express particles - but of endogenous origin, and which therefore don't have pathological roles, in any case not in AIDS. (7)

DT: But then how can one make out the difference?

LM: Because we could "pass on" the virus. We passed on the RT activity in new lymphocytes. H. We got a peak of replication. We kept track of the virus. It is the assembly of properties which made us say it was a retrovirus. And why new? The first question put to us by Nature was: "Is it not a laboratory contamination? Is it perhaps a mouse retrovirus or an animal retrovirus?". To that one could say no! Because we had shown that the patient had antibodies against a protein of his own virus. The assemblage has a perfect logic! But it is important to take it as an assemblage. If you take each property separately, they are not specific. It is the assemblage which gives the specificity. ( 8 )

DT: But at the density of retroviruses, did you observe particles which seemed to be retroviruses? A new retrovirus?

LM: At the density of 1.15, 1.16, we had a peak of RT activity, which is the enzyme characteristic of retroviruses. (9)

DT: But could that be something else?

LM: No..in my opinion it was very clear. It could not be anything but a retrovirus in this way. Because the enzyme that F. Barre-Sinoussi characterised biochemically needed magnesium, a little like HTLV elsewhere. It required the matrix, the template, the primer also which was completely characteristic of an RT. That was not open for discussion. At Cold Spring Harbour in September 1983, Gallo asked me whether I was sure it was an RT. I knew it, F. Barre-Sinoussi had done all the controls for that. It was not merely a cellular polymerase, it was an RT. It worked only with RNA primers, it made DNA. That one was sure of. (10)

DT: With the other retroviruses you have met in your career did you follow the same process and did you meet the same difficulties?

LM: I would say that for HIV it is an easy process. Compared with the obstacles one finds for the others...because the virus does not emerge, or indeed because isolation is sporadic - you manage it one time in five. I am talking about current research into others illnesses. One can cite the virus of Multiple Sclerosis of Prof. Peron. He showed me his work a decade ago and it took him around ten years to finally find a gene sequence which is very close to an endogenous virus. You see...it is very difficult. Because he could not "pass on" the virus, he could not make it emerge in culture. Whereas HIV emerges like couch grass. The LAI strain for example emerges like couchgrass. That's why it contaminated the others. (11)

DT: With what did you culture the lymphocytes of your patient? With the H9 cell line?

LM: No, because it didn't work at all with the H9. We used a lot of cell lines and the only one which could produce it was the Tambon Iymphocytes. (12)

DT: But using these kinds of elements it is possible to introduce other things capable of inducing an RT and proteins, etc..

LM: Agreed completely. That's why finally we were not very ardent about using immortal cell lines. To cultivate the virus en masse - OK. But not to characterise it, because we knew we were going to bring in other things. There are MT cell lines which have been found by the Japanese (MT2, MT4) which replicate HIV very well and which at the same time are transformed by HTLV. So, you have a mix of HIV and HTLV. It is a real soup. (13)

DT: What's more it's not impossible that patients may be infected by other infectious agents?

LM: There could be mycoplasmas...there could be a stack of things. But fortunately we had the negative experience with viruses associated with cancers and that helped us, because we had encountered all these problems. For example, one day I had a very fine peak of RT, which F. Barre-Sinoussi gave me, with a density a little bit higher, 1.19. And I checked! It was a mycoplasma, not a retrovirus. (14)

DT: With the material purified at the retrovirus density, how is it possible to make out the difference between what is viral and what is not? Because at this density there's a stack of other things, including "virus-like" particles, cellular fragments...

LM: Yes, that's why it is easier with the cell culture because one sees the phases of virus production. You have the budding. Charles Dauget (an EM specialist) looked rather at the cells. Of course he looked at the plasma, the concentrate, etc...he saw nothing major. Because if you make a concentrate it's necessary to make thinly sliced section [to see a virus with the EM], and to make a thin section it is necessary to have a concentrate at least the size of the head of a pin. So enormous amounts of virus are necessary. By contrast, you make a thin section of cells very easily and it's in these thin sections that Charles Dauget found the retrovirus, with different phases of budding. (15)

DT: When one looks at the published electron microscope photographs, for you as a retrovirologist it is clear it's a retrovirus, a new retrovirus?

LM: No, at that point one cannot say. With the first budding pictures it could be a type C virus. One cannot distinguish. (16)

DT: Could it be anything else than a retrovirus?

LM: No.. well, after all, yes .. it could be another budding virus. But there's a ... we have an atlas. One knows a little bit from familiarity, what is a retrovirus and what is not. With the morphology one can distinguish but it takes a certain familiarity. (17)

DT: Why no purification?

LM: I repeat we did not purify. We purified to characterise the density of the RT, which was soundly that of a retrovirus. But we didn't take the peak...or it didn't work...because if you purify, you damage. So for infectious particles it is better to not touch them too much. So you take simply the supernatant from the culture of lymphocytes which have produced the virus and you put it in a small quantity on some new cultures of lymphocytes. And it follows, you pass on the retrovirus serially and you always get the same characteristics and you increase the production each time you pass it on. (18)

DT: So the stage of purification is not necessary?

LM: No, no, it's not necessary. What is essential is to pass on the virus. The problem Peron had with the multiple sclerosis virus was that he could not pass on the virus from one culture to another. That is the problem. He managed it a very little, not enough to characterise it. And these days to characterise means above all at the molecular standard. If you will, the procedure goes more quickly. So to do it : a DNA, clone this DNA, amplify it, sequence it, etc..So you have the DNA, the sequence of the DNA which tells you if it is truly a retrovirus. One knows the familiar structure of retroviruses, all the retroviruses have a familiar genomic structure with such and such a gene which is characteristic. (19)

DT: So, for isolation of retroviruses the stage of purification is not obligatory? One can isolate retroviruses without purifying?

LM: Yes .. one is not obliged to transmit pure material. It would be better, but there is the problem that one damages it and diminishes the infectivity of the retrovirus. (20)

DT: Without going through this stage of purification, isn't there a risk of confusion over the proteins that one identifies and also over the RT which could come from something else?

LM: No .. after all, I repeat if we have a peak of RT at the density of 1.15, 1.16, there are 999 chances out of 1,000 that it is a retrovirus. But it could be a retrovirus of different origin. I repeat, there are some endogenous retroviruses, pseudo-particles which can be emitted by cells, but even so, from the part of the genome that provides retroviruses. And which one acquires through heredity, in the cells for a very long time. But finally I think for the proof - because things evolve like molecular biology permitting even easier characterisation these days - it's necessary to move on very quickly to cloning. And that was done very quickly, as well by Gallo as by ourselves. Cloning and sequencing, and there one has the complete characterisation. But I repeat, the first characterisation is the belonging to the lentivirus family, the density, the budding, etc.. the biological properties, the association with the T4 cells. All these things are part of the characterisation, and it was us who did it. (21)

DT: But there comes a point when one must do the characterisation of the virus. This means: what are the proteins of which it's composed?

LM: That's it. So then, analysis of the proteins of the virus demands mass production and purification. It is necessary to do that. And there I should say that that partially failed. J.C. Chermann was in charge of that, at least for the internal proteins. And he had difficulties producing the virus and it didn't work. But this was one possible way, the other way was to have the nucleic acid, cloning, etc. It's this way which worked very quickly. The other way didn't work because we had at that time a system of production which wasn't robust enough. One had not enough particles produced to purify and characterise the viral proteins. It couldn't be done. One couldn't produce a lot of virus at that time because this virus didn't emerge in the immortal cell line. We could do it with the LAI virus, but at that time we did not know that. (22)

DT: Gallo did it?

LM: Gallo? .. I don't know if he really purified. I don't believe so. I believe he launched very quickly into the molecular part, that's to say cloning . What he did do is the Western Blot. We used the RIPA technique, so what they did that was new was they showed some proteins which one had not seen well with the other technique. Here is another aspect of characterising the virus. You cannot purify it but if you know somebody who has antibodies against the proteins of the virus, you can purify the antibody/antigen complex. That's what one did. And thus one had a visible band, radioactively labelled, which one called protein 25, p25. And Gallo saw others. There was the p25 which he called p24, there was p41 which we saw... (23)

DT: About the antibodies, numerous studies have shown that these antibodies react with other proteins or elements which are not part of HIV. And that they can not be sufficient to characterise the proteins of HIV.

LM: No! Because we had controls. We had people who didn't have AIDS and had no antibodies against these proteins. And the techniques we used were techniques I had refined myself some years previously, to detect the src gene. You see the src gene was detected by immunoprecipitation too. It was the p60 [protein 60]. I was very dexterous, and my technician also, with the RIPA technique. If one gets a specific reaction, it's specific. (24)

DT: But we know AIDS patients are infected with a multitude of other infectious agents which are susceptible to ...

LM: Ah yes, but antibodies are very specific. They know how to distinguish one molecule in one million. There is a very great affinity. When antibodies have sufficient affinity, you fish out something really very specific. With monoclonal antibodies you fish out really ONE protein. All of that is used for diagnostic antigen detection. (25)

DT: For you the p41 was not of viral origin and so didn't belong to HIV. For Gallo it was the most specific protein of the HIV. Why this contradiction?

LM: We were both reasonably right. That's to say that I in my RIPA technique...in effect there are cellular proteins that one meets everywhere - there's a non-specific "background noise", and amongst these proteins one is very abundant in cells, which is actin. And this protein has a molecular weight 43000kd. So, it was there. So I was reasonably right, but what Gallo saw on the other hand was the gp41 of HIV, because he was using the Western Blot. And that I have recognised. (26)

DT: For you p24 was the most specific protein of HIV, for Gallo not at all. One recognises thanks to other studies that the antibodies directed against p24 were often found in patients who were not infected with HIV, and even in certain animals. In fact today, an antibody reaction with p24 is considered non specific.

LM: It is not sufficient for diagnosing HIV infection. (27)

DT: No protein is sufficient?

LM: No protein is sufficient anyway. But at the time the problem didn't reveal itself like that. The problem was to know whether it was an HTLV or not. The only human retrovirus known was HTLV. And we showed clearly that it was not an HTLV, that Gallo's monoclonal antibodies against the p24 of HTLV did not recognise the p25 of HIV. (28)

DT: At the density of retroviruses, 1.16, there are a lot of particles, but only 20% of them appertain to HIV. Why are 80% of the proteins not viral and the others are? How can one make out the difference?

LM: There are two explanations. For the one part, at this density you have what one calls microvesicles of cellular origin, which have approximately the same size as the virus, and then the virus itself, in budding, brings cellular proteins. So effectively these proteins are not viral, they are cellular in origin. So, how to make out the difference?! Frankly with this technique one can't do it precisely . What we can do is to purify the virus to the maximum with successive gradients, and you always stumble on the same proteins. (29)

DT: The others disappear?

LM: Let's say the others reduce a little bit. You take off the microvesicles, but each time you lose a lot of virus, so it's necessary to have a lot of virus to start off in order to keep a little bit when you arrive at the end. And then again it's the molecular analysis, it's the sequence of these proteins which is going allow one to say whether they are of viral origin or not. That's what we began for p25, that failed ...and the other technique is to do the cloning, and so then you have the DNA and from the DNA you get the proteins. You deduce the sequence of the proteins and their size and, you stumble again on what you've already observed with immunoprecipitation or with gel electrophoresis. And one knows by analogy with the sizes of the proteins of other retroviruses, one can deduce quite closely these proteins. So you have the p25 which was close to the p24 of HTLV, you have the p18..in the end you have the others. On the other hand the one which was very different was the very large protein, p120. (30)

DT: Today, are the problems about mass production of the virus, purification, EM pictures at 1.16, resolved?

LM: Yes, of course. (31)

DT: Do EM pictures of HIV from the purification exist?

LM: Yes. of course. (32)

DT: Have they been published?

LM: I couldn't tell you...we have some somewhere .. but it is not of interest, not of any interest. (33)

DT: Today, with mass production of the virus, is it possible to see an EM, after purification, of a large number of viruses?

LM: Yes, yes. Absolutely. One can see them, one even sees visible bands. (34)

DT: So for you HIV exists?

LM: Oh, it is clear. I have seen it and I have encountered it. (35) *

EMAIL CORRESPONDENCE
Between Val Turner (1) and Robin Weiss (2)
This correspondence was overseen by Eleni Papadopulos-Eleopulos and conducted by Dr.Val Turner on behalf of the Perth Group

Feb./Aug. 1999

NOTE: The scientific debate consists of five propositions/responses by VFT and RW conducted over February/August 1999. On 31/8/99 Professor Weiss reaffirmed that he would not be responding to my third response.

INTRODUCTION

On the 4th February 1999 the science journal Nature published a paper written by Dr. Beatrice Hahn and her associates claiming that HIV had originated in the African monkey Pan troglodydytes. (The Perth group response rejected by Nature is in Addendum I). Accompanying the Hahn paper was an invited commentary by Professors Robin Weiss and Richard Wrangham. In reponse to this summary, on Februrary 20th, I emailed both authors. (The Perth group’s letter on the same topic was also rejected by Nature (Addendum II):

Dear Professor Weiss, Wrangham,

In your commentary in Nature New and Views, "From Pan to pandemic", you and your colleague Dr. Wrangham state, "The origin of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), the retrovirus that is the main cause of AIDS, has been a puzzle ever since it was discovered by Barr‚-Sinoussi and her colleagues in 1983".

In an interview published in late 1998 which Montagnier gave to the French journalist Djamel Tahi, Montagnier was asked why he and his colleagues did not publish electron micrographs proving that the 1.16g/ml band (the "purified virus")contained isolated HIV particles. Montagnier answered: No such proof was published, because, even after "Roman effort", at the density of 1.16g/ml they could see no particles with "morphology typical of retroviruses". He gave similar answers to repeated questions, including "I repeat, we did not purify", that is, isolate HIV.

In view of these data how can one claim that "Barr‚-Sinoussi and her colleagues in 1983" discovered a retrovirus?

Yours sincerely,

VF Turner

PS The text of the Montagnier/Tahi interview is at http://www.virusmyth.com/aids/data/dtinterviewlm.htm

Professor Wrangham emailed me the next day:

Thanks for this interesting question. Unfortunately I am the wrong person to ask. Robin Weiss and I shared authorship of the News and Views article, but he alone was the virology expert. If you would like to ask him directly, his email is robinw@icr.ac.uk [Wrangham is an anthropologist].

Yours,

Richard Wrangham

Professor Weiss was in the middle of a move from Chester Beaty Laboratories to his new position at University College London. His secretary replied that Weiss was away. On March 3rd Weiss replied:

Dear Dr Turner,

I can't speak for Montagnier. But if you look up the Barre-Sinoussi paper in Science in May 1983, on which he is a co-author, electron micrographs of virions are there. However, these are of HIV budding from cells in thin section, not from sucrose gradients. So he is right to say it was not purified virus. When you have evidence of infection in culture, purification is not particularly important.

Robin A Weiss

My reply was:

Dear Professor Weiss,

Thank you for taking the time to answer my email re the Montagnier interview. So not as to predjudice your reply I read it out to our weekly clinical meeting. My colleagues, who are all emergency physicians practising in a large, busy, teaching hospital, were astonished. We wonder if it is some kind of a joke?? One such colleague has been needlestuck himself, has taken AZT for six weeks and 18 months later developed cancer.

I am not asking you to "speak for Montagnier". I am asking you to substantiate your claim, published in Nature, that B-S and her colleagues discovered a retrovirus, HIV.

You stated: "....he is right to say it was not purified virus". If so:

1. Why, in 1986, did you and your colleagues write: "A so-called AIDS virus isolate was first reported in 1983 by Montagnier and his colleagues in France who named the material "Lymphadenopathy Associated Virus One"". Did or did not Montagnier isolate, purify a retrovirus?

2. If he did not why did you say that he had? If you were aware that he did not do this, and this was the reason for you using the word "material" to describe his finding, why did you not, as a well known and respected retrovirologist, draw the attention of the rest of the scientific community to it, especially if one considers the extremely important consequences?

3. In 1983, when B-S et al published their paper entitled, "Isolation of a T-lymphotrophic retrovirus from a patient at risk for acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)", and called the 1.16g/ml band "pure labelled virus", did they mislead the scientific community?

4. Since it is generally accepted, and makes common sense, that the existence of a new retrovirus can be proven only by isolating it (both B-S and Gallo claimed to have proven the existence of HIV by isolating it) what is the scientific basis for your claims that B-S et al discovered a new retrovirus?

5. You state: "When you have evidence of infection in culture, purification is not particularly important". These researchers did not know that their cultures were infected. This is what they were attempting to establish.

Surely you don't claim that electron micrographs of some budding forms on the cell surface or some cell-free particles in the culture supernatant which do not even have all the morphological characteristics of retroviruses, are proof of infection? Are you further arguing that, without isolation, that is, purification, a scientist can obtain "HIV" proteins and RNA?

6. In your view is it scientifically valid to say on the one hand, as Montagnier did, that the 1.16g/ml "material" did not have even particles with the "morphology typical of retroviruses, while on the other hand, asserting that the proteins and RNA where those of a retrovirus, HIV?

7. What possible justification can there be for (a) using these proteins as antigen in an antibody test to prove infection of millions of people by a deadly virus? (b) for using this RNA to prove not only infection but also to quantify the viral load?

As a clinician working in an Emergency Department, seeing patients with needlestick injuries for example, is almost a daily occurence. These patients' whole lives become focused around antibody tests which you and your many colleagues claim prove infection with a deadly virus. Without a satisfactory scientific answer to the questions arising from the Montagnier interview I find myself deeply troubled by ordering such tests let alone explaining to patients their meaning. As a scientist whose pronouncements directly affect the lives of so many people you are both ethically and morally obliged to resolve this issue. Especially on account of those who carry laboratory research into the world of patients and their relatives.

Yours sincerely,

VF Turner

PS The text of the Montagnier/Tahi interview is at http://www.virusmyth.com/aids/data/dtinterviewlm.htm

Following this I surmise Professor Weiss read the Montagnier interview. In the meantime, believing that Weiss would not reply (mistakenly and I must give Professor Weiss full credit for being the only HIV protagonist who has taken the time to debate us), I emailed Rex Ranieri, a documentarian from TV Channel Nine in Australia. He emailed Weiss on 29th March:

Dear Professor,

I have been observing the HIV/AIDS debate with some interest and I have recently been contacted by Val Turner. He have sent me some questions which he has put to you recently together with the subsequent email discussion .

It appears to me that the argument for the existence of HIV is not sufficiently rigorous.

Is there a bigger story developing here?

I look forward to your reply

Kind regards,

Rex

Professor Weiss replied immediately:

If HIV does not exist, then neither did smallpox virus (variola), nor does polio virus, tobacco mosaic virus in plants, etc. etc. If you wish to deny the existence of viruses, and virus diseases, go ahead, but leave scientists like me out of the picture.

Robin A Weiss

To which Rex Ranieri replied:

Professor,

My understanding is that Dr. Turner and his colleagues have questioned not whether a number of other viruses exist. Only HIV. As far as I am aware, a scientist does not prove that a particular virus exists by pointing to the existence of others.

I am well versed with some of the argument so far (for a lay person) so naturally your response contributes little to my questions.

I appreciate your desire to be left "out of picture" however as you are a world renowned researcher who has spent some time on the question, it is difficult for me to accept that you can bow out of the discussion.

Naturally, It is your perogative not to respond, however I think that this would ultimately be damaging to both sides of the argument. We have seen many examples of media debacle which can result from lack of discussion.

I realise that your time is valuable and I urge you to respond to my questions. Please accept that my intentions are to arrive at the truth, whatever that may turn out to be.

Kind regards,

Rex

Weiss responded to this email approximately two months later (see Addendum III).

Meantime I sent reminder emails to Weiss. Eventually he replied:

March 26th

I am very tied up with work at present and will give you a considered reply in due course.

Robin A. Weiss

I responded:

Dear Professor Weiss,

Thank you for your reply. I fully understand that you have been busy moving from Fulham Road to Clevland Street and setting up your new department. I am also sure that you understand how anxious both my clinical and non clinical colleagues and I are to examine your considered reply.

Yours sincerely,

VF Turner

After more reminders Weiss emailed me:

April 15th

Dear Dr Turner

You have breached my correspondence with you as an academic colleague by forwarding it to a journalist, Rex Ranieri. In your message to him, you write that that you do not hold any great hope that I shall answer a second time, and yet to me you express your understanding that I'm busy with other things. So here is my second response. I hope it is my last response, because I find the issue of 'purification' quite sterile, and unconnected with matters of medical importance. We are simply talking at cross-purposes.

There appears to be a consortium of medical people and biophysicists in Perth who have a fixation of HIV purification. Perhaps you are influenced by this. It is also a 'cause' championed by the British based magazine 'Continuum' founded by Jodi Wells whom I knew and who sadly died of an AIDS-like disease a few years ago. He initially supported Peter Duesberg's view that HIV indeed exists and can be purified, but that it is harmless. Then he shifted into a denial that there is any such thing as HIV. With Harold Jaffe I argued against Duesberg's view in Nature nearly 9 years ago (Nature 345: 659-660, 1990). I've nothing more to say on this issue, save that with the efficacy of combination anti-retroviral drugs, Duesberg seems to have lost his constituency of support among 'lay' gay men.

Now, to turn to your points sent on March 10 regarding my first reply:-

1. and 2. You confuse isolation and purification. I see no contradiction between what I wrote - in 1986 or in 1999 - and what Barre-Sinoussi and colleagues had reported previously. One can isolate some viruses by propagating them in cells in culture. For example, HIV, smallpox virus, measles virus, polio virus. There are other viruses which no-one has yet succeeded in serially propagating in culture following isolation because they require specialized, differentiated cells; for example, hepatitis B virus, human papilloma virus types 16 and 18 (associated with cervical cancer), and so on.

In both cases, viral genomes can be isolated, indeed highly 'purified' by molecular cloning using recombinant DNA methodology. Thus it is almost routine now in our lab and may other research labs to clone the HIV genome as DNA in bacterial vectors, and then recover them again in infectious form by transferring that DNA back into human lymphocytes. It is difficult to conceive anything 'purer' than the complete cloned virus without any proteins, particles, etc.

3. I do not think Barre-Sinoussi et al misled the scientifically community by calling the 1.16 g/ml band purified virus. But if you and your colleagues prefer to call it enriched but not yet completely pure, I would happily concur with that opinion. This illustrates what I mean by a sterile argument: how pure is pure? Is distilled water 'pure'? Yes, but it will still have a few parts per million or per billion of other soluble molecules.

Are your surgical instruments sterile? Yes regarding bacteria and viruses, if they have been heat-treated or autoclaved. No, regarding the agent of Creuzfeld-Jakob disease which partially resists such treatment. Yet, every surgeon knows what others mean by sterile. Let's not get bogged down in how pure is pure.

The important thing is serial propagation of the microbe. Koch and Petri over 700 [70] years ago 'purified' bacteria by propagating them as colonies (clones) on gelatin in Petri's dishes - nowadays we use agar-agar with nutrients in place of gelatin. Did Koch purify the microbes. Yes in his and my terms, maybe not in yours. Certainly he did purify [?not] them by biophysical methods such as sucrose gradients, but nothing else kept reproducing itself on the 'impure' nutrients. So it is the same for viruses. As intercellular [intracellular] parasites, of course, they can only be propagated in living cultured cells (or in plants, animals or humans) but one can 'plague-purify' them - a term dating from early bacteriophage studies in the 1920s. Animal viruses were similarly plague-purified: polio in 1952; vaccinia around 1955. We used a plaque 'purification' or biological cloning technique for HIV in 1989. No, these were not physically pure, but they were biologically pure, ie they were cloned. Molecular cloning, however, as I mentioned already is one step better. Both methods to my mind, are sufficiently purified to draw scientific conclusions, although one must be cautious not to draw conclusions beyond the validity of the data, including the kind of purity, biological, molecular, chemical or physical.

4. My definition of isolation of HIV by Barre-Sinoussi et al. Gallo and Levy and others in the early days of AIDS research is propagation in culture. Today, however, we more often use molecular cloning, then recover the cloned genome or partial genome and characterise its phenotype.

5. Yes, I do claim that visualization of HIV by electron microscopy was, in 1983/84, an important component of the collective data on virus isolation. Taken together with virus propagation, reverse transcriptase activity and enrichment of particles by isopycnio [density] gradients, it convinced me that HIV is a retrovirus. Even more so, it was Montagnier's electron micrographs published in April 1984 and previously shown at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in September 1983 that convinced me that HIV was probably a lentivrius among retroviruses, as they resembled particles of equine infections anaemia virus - a lentivirus first propagated by inoculating a filtrate too small for bacteria to pass through into horses and donkeys and causing disease. So yes, I am definitely arguing that, disregarding your meaning of 'purification', but with my meaning of 'isolation', you can make quite large amounts of HIV proteins and smaller amounts of RNA.

6. Barre-Sinoussi et al published electron micrographs of early budding forms of virus only, that were not immediately identifiable as retrovirus particles. By September 1983, Montagnier's electron micrographs looked more typical.

7. There are many different tests for HIV-specific antibodies. Today's commercial test kits are based on oligopeptides and on proteins manufactured from cloned HIV DNA. No biological test for anything is 100% specific and 100% sensitive, but today's HIV tests are as good as tests for any other human viral pathogen. Likewise, today's PCR primers are highly specific and sensitive for the major strains of HIV in developed countries. Some 'outlier' strains, especially in Gabon and Cameroon are not picked up quite as sensitively and therefore estimates of viral load with these 'outlier' infections should be interpreted cautiously.

There will always be a few people who cannot be convinced by the data before our eyes - or who emotionally wish to deny what the rest of us regard as facts. Of course, interpretation will change over time. Newetonian physios still serves pretty well for the dynamics of road accidents, but Einstein's relativity superseded it on a cosmic scale. In my view, to deny the existence of HIV is a bit like denying the Nazi holocaust.

If we are to doubt HIV as a cause of AIDS, we must cast even more doubt on variola as a cause of smallpox, and the existence of measles, mumps, influenza and respiratory syncytial virus. None of these would pass your definition of purification. None of these has been 'purified' even by culture propagation (my sense) to the extent that has been achieved for poliovirus and for HIV.

This terminates our debate.

Robin A Weiss

Although Professor Weiss terminated the debate, my colleagues and I were far from satisfied. Eleni Papadopulos and I spent many weeks preparing a response (see below). This was sent in late July with the following note:

22/7/99

Dear Professor Weiss,

I apologise for the length of the attached file [35 pages] but it is impossible to debate this topic without data and citations. I trust you appreciate this necessity.

I greatly appreciate your reply to the questions in my last email. Let me say that eighteen years ago neither I nor my colleagues in the Perth Group set out to frustrate the efforts of scientists such as yourself. Rather, we began as you and many others did in the early 1980s, to make a contribution to solving the problem of AIDS. Certainly we are poles apart from the mainstream but, as Philebus says in the Dialogues of Plato, I hope "we are not simply contending in order that my view or that of yours may prevail, but I presume we ought both of us to be fighting for the truth"..

I am disappointed that you do not intend to continue the exchange but I respect your decision. Sometime in the near future I intend to put our debate on the Perth group website. Thus, if you would like to add or alter your replies in any way I will encompass these in the posting. If you would like to contribute anything else at all, scientific or perhaps philosophical including your views on dissent and dissenters, I would be very pleased to post these as well.

I look forward to hearing from you once again.

Yours sincerely,

VF Turner

31/8/99

Dear Dr Turner

I have been in your country during August without opening my e-mails. We shall have to agree to differ on the nature and existence of HIV. I have no additional comments to make for your website.

Robin A Weiss

My response to this was:

1/9/99

Dear Professor Weiss,

Thank you for your email. I am truly sorry you are unwilling to continue the debate. Eleni Papapdopulos and I spent several weeks preparing what I consider a worthy reponse and believe it your responsibility to answer the points I have raised. This especially applies to the arguments related to the extant HL23V. As far as I can tell evidence for the the "isolation" and thus the existence of HL23V is better than that for HIV. Yet HL23V has disappeared from the scientific literature and no longer exists.

I am disappointed you did not look us up while you were in Australia. My colleagues and I would have been delighted to take you out for a meal in Perth's Kings Park overlooking the Swan River. We have some excellent wines which I am sure you would have appreciated. We would have enjoyed your company and the invitation is open should you ever return.

I would like to thank you once again for your time and effort on behalf of this debate. This is not a polemic about any particular person winning. Any fighting is about "fighting for the truth".

Yours sincerely,

Val Turner

"If there is evidence that HIV causes AIDS, there should be scientific documents which either singly or collectively demonstrate that fact, at least with a high probability. There is no such document."

Dr. Kary Mullis, Biochemist, 1993 Nobel Prize for Chemistry.

"Up to today there is actually no single scientifically really convincing evidence for the existence of HIV. Not even once such a retrovirus has been isolated and purified by the methods of classical virology."

Dr. Heinz Ludwig Sanger, Emeritus Professor of Molecular Biology and Virology, Max-Planck-Institutes for Biochemistry, Munchen.

Is HIV really the cause of AIDS?

For more than 25 years, thinking people have been reevaluating the HIV=AIDS hypothesis. The number of biomedical scientists saying that the cause of AIDS is still unknown has been growing fast since the initial HIV discovery announcement in April 1984. Either scientists do not see evidence for a lethal virus called HIV -- saying that it has never really been isolated -- or they assert that the virus is harmless. In any case, it is helpful to remember that, in science, correlation is not causation.

To help you make better informed health decisions, this Web site archives evidence and opinions of scientists, journalists and others against the myths of AIDS. The site contains more than 1500 pages with over 1000 articles. Most of these articles have been published in (peer reviewed) journals, magazines, and newspapers.
: Áð: HIV virus does not cause AIDS Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome

http://www.virusmyth.com/aids/award.htm

The rules for isolation of a retrovirus were thoroughly discussed at the Pasteur Institute, Paris, in 1973, and are the logical minimum requirements for establishing the independent existence of HIV. They are:

1.Culture of putatively infected tissue.

2. Purification of specimens by density gradient ultracentrifugation.

3. Electron micrographs of particles exhibiting the morphological characteristics and dimensions (100-120 nm) of retroviral particles at the sucrose (or percoll) density of 1.16 gm/ml and containing nothing else, not even particles of other morphologies or dimensions.

4. Proof that the particles contain reverse transcriptase.

5. Analysis of the particles' proteins and RNA and proof that these are unique.

6. Proof that 1-5 are a property only of putatively infected tissues and can not be induced in control cultures. These are identical cultures, that is, tissues obtained from matched, unhealthy subjects and cultured under identical conditions differing only in that they are not putatively infected with a retrovirus.

7. Proof that the particles are infectious, that is when PURE particles are introduced into an uninfected culture or animal, the identical particle is obtained as shown by repeating steps 1-5.

First Respons to Continuum Award (May '96)

Edward King, editor of UK's National AIDS Manual and writer for the Pink Paper, published the first respons in NAM's Treatment Update. The Perth Group wrote a reply.

Duesberg Claims Continuum Reward (July/Aug. '96)

Prof. Peter Duesberg believes HIV exists and has been isolated and claims the Continuum Award. The Perth Group wrote a long reply, and a summary. Neville Hodgkinson wrote also a summary. And Dr. Stefan Lanka wrote a comment too.

Debate Continues (Feb./March '97)

Prof. Peter Duesberg responded to the reply from the Australians and Dr. Stefan Lanka. The Perth Group replied again, and Dr. Stefan Lanka responded again too.

First Pictures of "Pure HIV" (March '97)

Two historic papers in the leading science journal Virology in March this year provide astonishing new data on the purification and isolation of HIV. For the first time in the history of AIDS, elusive electron microscope images of 'HIV' collected or 'banded' at the official density required for retroviruses, 1.16 gm/ml, have been published, by a research group in Germany. The electronmicrographs disclose "major contaminants" in "pure HIV".

Pure HIV

HIV expert Hans Gelderblom of Berlin's Robert Koch Institute, whose photos of non-banded 'HIV' material have been the industrial benchmark since 1987, co-authored the first paper which describes the contamination as "an excess of vesicles" - particles of cellular proteins, that may contain DNA or RNA. In a consecutive paper, a US research team from the AIDS Vaccine Programme in Maryland reveal carefully, "It is unknown how these cellular proteins associate with the virus" and warn, "The presence of microvesicles in purified retroviruses has practical implications": both teams discuss the resulting nonspecifity of HIV tests, all of which are based on early unchecked "purified HIV".

In an historic admission that it has never been established which proteins constitute 'HIV', the US scientists conclude, "The development of various purification strategies to separate microvesicles from HIV-particles ... will greatly enhance our ability to identify virion-associated cellular proteins." The imaging step in attempts at retroviral isolation was deemed essential when isolation procedure was discussed and decided at the Pasteur Institute, Paris in 1972, but it has never been published before in the 13-year history of 'HIV'. (Continuum autumn 1997)

See some more pictures, and a comment by the Perth Group.

Interview Prof. Montagnier (July '97)

The French journalist Djamel Tahi interviewed Dr. Luc Montagnier, the discoverer of HIV, about the isolation of the virus. Although he believes he isolated HIV, Montagnier confirms he could not purify the virus. The Perth Group wrote a comment. (Continuum winter 1997)

More Money to Earn (Aug. '98)

In addition to the Continuum Award organizations all around the world offer more money for the evidence of the existence of HIV. One can already collect over $ 25.000 by providing this evidence. See the additional terms. (page in Spanish!)

Professor Questions Isolation (Oct. '98)

Dr. Etienne de Harven is emeritus Professor of Pathology, University of Toronto. He worked in electron microscopy (EM) primarily on the ultrastructure of retroviruses throughout his professional career of 25 years at the Sloan Kettering Institute in New York and 13 years at the University of Toronto. In 1956 he was the first to report on the EM of the Friend virus in murine (mouse) leukemia, and in 1960, to coin the word "budding" to describe steps of virus assembly on cell surfaces. He delivered a speech at the 12th World AIDS Conference in Geneva at the session "HIV-testing: Open Questions about Specificity". He sent a letter and photo to Continuum, he wrote an article for the same magazine, and an article for Reappraising AIDS.

The Last Debate (Dec. '99)

"Debate has been taking place amongst the HIV/AIDS dissident groups regarding the wisdom of taking up the issue of HIV isolation as an argument in our fight against mainstream AIDS science." An article by the Perth Group.

German Professor Questions HIV (Oct. '00)

"During the past 20 years HIV-AIDS research has shown to a line of critical scientists again and again that the existence of HIV has not been proven without doubt, and that both from a aetiological (causal), and a epidemiological view, it can not be responsible for the immunodeficiency AIDS. In view of the general accepted HIV/AIDS hypothesis this appeared to me so unbelievable that I decided to investigate it myself. After three years of intensive and, above all, critical studies of the relevant original literature, as an experienced virologist and molecular biologist I came to the following surprising conclusion: Up to today there is actually no single scientifically really convincing evidence for the existence of HIV. Not even once such a retrovirus has been isolated and purified by the methods of classical virology."

Dr. Heinz Ludwig Sänger, Emeritus Professor of Molecular Biology and Virology and a former director of the Department of Viroid Research at the Max-Planck-Institutes for Biochemy near München, wrote a letter (in German) to the Süddeutsche Zeitung. Prof. Sänger was in 1978 rewarded with the prestigious Robert Koch Award. He also wrote the foreword (in German) for the book 'Mythos HIV' written by the German journalist Michael Leitner.

Isolation Experiments (April '01)

The South African government has set up a Presidential AIDS Advisory Panel to determine their policy on HIV and AIDS. Several dissidents are on the panel. They released an interim report and advised, because the lack of data, to do more research. Ten experiments, including the true isolation of HIV, have been proposed, and will be financed by the SA government. Read more about South Africa and AIDS.

Another Award (April '02)

Alex Russel is offering £10,000 Reward for the first person who can prove that HIV exists. See the details.

ÔHE CASE AGAINST HIV

October 2013

(Last updated December 2017)

Collated by Henry Bauer
www.henryhbauer.homestead.com

Additions and corrections are welcomed,
indeed solicited, at our comments page.   COMMENTS
That HIV causes AIDS has been the officially sanctioned view for about 3 decades, believed almost universally but questioned openly by thousands of people, some of whom are expert in relevant sciences 1,2,3. These dissidents point out that a comprehensive reading of the mainstream literature together with analysis of mainstream data demonstrates conclusively that HIV is neither a necessary nor a sufficient cause of AIDS. An up-to-date and comprehensive yet concise summary of the facts and the history of the HIV/AIDS blunder is provided by Donald Miller 914.

An annotated bibliography of dissident books and other writings was published in 1993 4; dissident books not listed there or published since that time include Bauer 5, Bialy 6, Crewdson 7, Culshaw 8, De Harven 9, Duesberg 10, Farber 11, Fiala 12, Hodgkinson 13, Konotey 14, Kremer 15, Lauritsen 16, Lauritsen & Young 17, Leitner 18, Maggiore 19, Root-Bernstein 20, Shenton 21.

The Immunity Resource Foundation (IRF) offers important archival material including many documentary films and videos; many issues of Continuum magazine; many links to other AIDS-Rethinking or HIV-Skeptical websites; and a blog and newspage. The 2013 award-winning film, “Positively False — Birth of a Heresy” can be rented or bought at the IRF website. Another award-winning documentary is "House of Numbers."

At first sight, that HIV does not cause AIDS must seem unbelievable in light of the officially promulgated view that has so thoroughly pervaded the media and the public sphere. How could medical science be so wrong for so long about something so important? Moreover, haven’t the miracle antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) saved countless lives and changed AIDS from an invariably fatal death sentence into a chronic, manageable, condition? Aren’t Africans dying in hordes from AIDS only because they can’t get enough of those drugs?

Those questions can all be answered, but not in any brief way. The comprehensive case against HIV has to be made along several mutually reinforcing lines:

Questions to which the officially sanctioned view has no answer.
HIV does not cause AIDS.
The plain evidence about AIDS.
The plain evidence about HIV.
Failings of HIV/AIDS theory.
What antiretroviral drugs do.
Damage done by HIV/AIDS theory and practice.
Hindrances to making the case against HIV.
How could such a massive blunder come about and persist?
FAQs: Questions — sometimes rhetorical only — posed by adherents to HIV/AIDS theory.
Just how inconceivable most people find it, that HIV/AIDS theory could be so wrong, that official medicine and science could be so wrong in this day and age, may be illustrated by my own experience 514. I had read enough — many of the books listed above — to become open to the possibility, but it took my own digging into “HIV” epidemiology to convince me p.7 & chapter 1 in 5, and that was about 10 years after I first became aware that there exist dissidents from orthodox HIV/AIDS belief. And it has taken me further years to understand that “HIV” may not even exist, and that “HIV” tests are perhaps the central issue in the whole business. My long-standing interest in Loch Ness Monsters and the like testifies that I am significantly more open to unorthodox views than are most people, so my own difficulty in recognizing the errors of HIV/AIDS theory might serve as a warning, that the task of bringing others to that understanding is an extraordinarily difficult one.

0. QUESTIONS TO WHICH THE OFFICIALLY SANCTIONED VIEW HAS NO ANSWER

0.1Why is there no gold-standard test for HIV infection? 127

0.1.1[Because authentic pure HIV virions have never been isolated from supposedly infected individuals nor have they ever been successfully synthesized (cloned) — see section 3.1.3]

0.2How does HIV supposedly destroy the immune system? (see sections 1.3.3, 4.4.4)

0.3Why do people of African ancestry test "HIV-positive" more than all others, whether in Africa or America or Europe? chapters 5-7 & p. 106 in 5

0.4Why were AIDS and HIV first identified in America and Europe when HIV is supposed to have first infected human beings in Africa? (see section 4.6)

1. HIV DOES NOT CAUSE AIDS

1.1It was never established in the first place, nor later proved, that HIV causes AIDS.

1.1.1Kary Mullis has described his unsuccessful quest — including asking the discoverer of HIV — for citations to the scientific articles that prove HIV to be the cause of AIDS 23.

1.1.2The “fact sheets” issued by the National Institutes of Health are not scientific articles, and their claims of proof have been refuted in full detail 24,25. Those refutations have been ignored or misrepresented but never effectively challenged.

1.1.3The issue is complicated by progressive re-definitions of AIDS, see section 2.

1.1.4Luc Montagnier, credited with the discovery of HIV, reported that AIDS seemed to be caused by a mycoplasma and not by HIV 26,27,28,29,30,31.

1.1.5By 1993 so many cases of “HIV-negative” “AIDS” had been reported 32,33,34,35 that the condition was pronounced a new disease, “idiopathic CD4 T-cell lymphopenia” (ICL) 36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43 (also “HIV-negative adult-onset immunodeficiency” 44): immune deficiency of unknown cause with low CD4 counts; but this is precisely the same as the original definition of AIDS.

1.1.6“HIV-positive” individuals do not necessarily ever progress to AIDS in absence of any treatment 45.

1.1.6.1Co-factors in addition to HIV required to bring on AIDS have been postulated on a number of occasions: mycoplasma 26,27,28,29,30,31; HTLVs page 248 in 257; cell surface protein CD26 871,872; the protein fusin 873.

1.1.7Specific Italian data illustrate that HIV does not cause AIDS 46,47,48.

1.2HIV and AIDS are not even correlated.

1.2.1The seminal papers claimed to have found the putative retrovirus in only “18 of 21 patients with pre-AIDS … [and] 26 of 72 adult and juvenile patients with AIDS” 49. This did not even establish that HIV is correlated with AIDS 50, let alone causes it. The principal author, Robert Gallo, may have committed scientific misconduct as well 7,51,648.

1.2.1.1Most of those who refer to the discovery of HIV credit Montagnier, not Gallo 52.

1.2.2Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) was one of the three originally iconic AIDS diseases, yet HIV-negative cases of KS had been noted at the very beginning 53 and turned out to be quite common 54.

1.2.2.1KS is now ascribed not to HIV but to something else 64, perhaps KSHV (Kaposi’s sarcoma herpes virus) or HHV-8 (human herpes virus 8  ) 55,56,57,58.

1.2.2.2AIDS-1 (section 2.1) KS was probably caused by the widespread use of nitrite “poppers” by many gay men 59,60,61,62,63,64. Although described as a cancer (sarcoma), it may actually be non-malignant damage to blood vessels.

1.2.3HIV and AIDS are not correlated with respect to geography chapter 9 in 5,80.

1.2.4HIV and AIDS are not correlated with respect to race chapter 9 in 5.

1.2.5HIV and AIDS are not correlated with respect to the sexes chapter 9 in 5.

1.3HIV does not even cause illness, let alone death 66,45.

1.3.1The mortality of “HIV-positive” individuals and of “People with AIDS” (PWAs) is independent of age whereas mortality increases very significantly with age in every (other) illness 67,68,69,70,71.

1.3.2About 50% of people testing “HIV-positive” never experience illness associated with “HIV” 72,73,74.

1.3.3It remains mysterious, in what way or by what mechanism HIV could cause illness of any kind; a number of mechanisms have been bruited, none has been demonstrated or accepted as satisfactory 75.

1.3.3.1“HIV” is found in only a tiny proportion (<1%) of the T-cells that it supposedly kills, so the decrease in CD4 counts supposedly characteristic of AIDS or “HIV disease” is ascribed to an unspecified “bystander mechanism” 833,866,867,868.

1.3.3.2Duesberg long ago argued that no retrovirus could act as claimed for HIV 76.

2. THE PLAIN EVIDENCE ABOUT AIDS

Which AIDS?

AIDS has been defined in at least three distinctly different ways at different times and in different places. To avoid confusion, it is necessary to distinguish among them as AIDS-1, AIDS-2, and AIDS-Africa.

2.1The first definition of AIDS, therefore AIDS-1: A supposedly unprecedented syndrome characterized by immune deficiency (specifically, low CD4 counts) of unknown cause presumed responsible for the presence of manifest opportunistic infections, chiefly Kaposi’s sarcoma, Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP), or candidiasis (fungal: thrush, yeast infection) 77,78.

2.1.1Designating AIDS-1 as a new medical phenomenon was an error because

2.1.1.1None of the “AIDS-1” diseases was previously unknown. They occur in HIV-negative individuals for a wide range of reasons 79.

2.1.1.2A great many conditions and infections induce immune deficiency, even specifically the low counts of CD4 cells purported to be characteristic of AIDS — non-specific conditions like oxidative stress 80,15 (see also sections 3.2.2, 4.3.2.4, 5.3.3.1, 5.3.3.11, 7.3.3.4) or such specific diseases as tuberculosis 82,83.

2.1.1.3The initial diagnosis 103 was by a young physician early in his career who also had access to the relatively new technique of counting CD4 cells 84. However, we now know that CD4 counts are not a valid measure of good or bad health 897.

2.1.1.4In particular, “recreational” drugs 85,86,87,88,89,90 including nitrites (“poppers”) 91,92 cause the same conditions as are said to be characteristic of AIDS, including loss of CD4 cells 93, and drug addicts display the same manifest symptoms as were ascribed to AIDS-1 13.

2.1.1.5The first AIDS-1 patients were indeed typically users of “recreational” drugs p. 191 ff. in 16, pursuing a “fast-lane” lifestyle p. 79 ff. in 17,99,100,p. 292 ff. in 894,895,896 conducive to ill health. They were on average in their mid-to-late thirties with histories of many bouts of syphilis, gonorrhea, and other infections 95,96,97,98.

2.1.1.6The Centers for Disease Control & Prevention used a unique, bizarre, misleading statistical classification scheme that obfuscated the fact that drug abuse was the primary common feature among victims of AIDS chapter 1 in 16.

2.1.1.7“AIDS” was a new social phenomenon, irrational exuberance by a proportion of gay men following “liberation”, expressed in an impossibly unhealthy lifestyle pp. 119-20 in 5,99,100,101,102. It had first been designated more correctly as GRID: Gay-Related Immune Deficiency; though since it was only a small proportion of gay men who practiced the “fast-lane” lifestyle, most correct would have been FLLRID.

2.1.2The first AIDS-1 patients had not been in sexual contact with one another 103. AIDS-1 came to be regarded as infectious only after the mistaken conclusion that HIV causes AIDS.

2.2Following the mistaken identification of “HIV” as cause of AIDS-1, an increasing number of diseases have come to be labeled “AIDS” just because in their presence an “HIV” test is fairly often positive. That defines AIDS-2: “HIV-positive” by definition, as in the now-common usage “HIV/AIDS”, which masks the fact that AIDS-1 was not HIV-caused. Recently the term “HIV disease” has become common.

By subliminal definition creep, “HIV disease” has come to include dozens of ailments, many of which are not opportunistic infections and all of which are previously known conditions, for example tuberculosis, weight loss or wasting, dementia 104.

2.2.11985 definition (AIDS-2a): “HIV-positive” and additional opportunistic infections beyond KS, PCP, or candidiasis 105.

2.2.21986 definition (AIDS-2b): “HIV-positive” and low CD4 counts and opportunistic infections 105.

2.2.31987 definition (AIDS-2c): “HIV-positive” “[r]egardless of the presence of other causes of immunodeficiency” [emphasis in original] and in presence of more than a dozen diseases 106.

2.2.41993 definition (AIDS-2d): Re-definition increased number of “AIDS” cases in that year by 75% 107.

2.3AIDS in Africa (henceforth AIDS-Africa) is neither AIDS-1 nor AIDS-2 108.

2.3.1Although AIDS-2 had been defined as caused by HIV, the lack of HIV-testing facilities in Africa led to defining AIDS via the Bangui definition 109: chronic or persistent weight loss, diarrhea, fever — entirely non-specific symptoms consistent with any number of endemic African diseases.

2.3.1.1Africans dying from “AIDS” are succumbing to diseases that have ravaged Africans for centuries 108,110.

2.3.1.2Since the criterion for AIDS diagnosis in Africa is independent of “HIV”, one cannot know how many African “AIDS” patients are HIV-negative 32.

2.3.1.3Malnutrition is widespread in Africa and is a known cause of lack of resistance to infection. It can be responsible for any infection incurred within 1 month of the end of food deprivation 870.
