Views On HIV/AIDS

In the view of the Perth Group, consisting of Papadopulos-Eleopulos and a colleague, the scientific community has failed to prove:

  1. That HIV exists as a unique, exogenously acquired retrovirus.
  2. That HIV antibody tests are specific for HIV infection.
  3. That HIV causes acquired immune deficiency (destruction of T helper cells, known as AID) or that AID leads to the development of the clinical syndrome AIDS.
  4. That the HIV genome (RNA or DNA) originates in a unique, exogenously acquired infectious retroviral particle.
  5. That HIV/AIDS is infectious, either by blood, blood products or sexual intercourse.
  6. That a retrovirus HIV may be transmitted from mother to child or that this transmission may be inhibited with AZT or nevirapine.

The Perth Group's speculation is completely rejected by the scientific community as HIV has been adequately isolated and shown to be the cause of AIDS.

Famous quotes containing the words views on, views and/or aids:

    “Political correctness is the natural continuum from the party line. What we are seeing once again is a self-appointed group of vigilantes imposing their views on others. It is a heritage of communism, but they don’t seem to see this.”
    —Doris Lessing (b. 1919)

    “The word “conservative” is used by the BBC as a portmanteau word of abuse for anyone whose views differ from the insufferable, smug, sanctimonious, naive, guilt-ridden, wet, pink orthodoxy of that sunset home of the third-rate minds of that third-rate decade, the nineteen-sixties.”
    —Norman Tebbit (b. 1931)

    “Nothing aids which may not also injure us.
    Fire serves us well, but he who plots to burn
    His neighbor’s roof arms his hands with fire.”
    —Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
