A critical appraisal of the evidence for the isolation of HIV

According to the published work of the leading HIV/AIDS scientists, HIV has been isolated and is a unique, exogenously acquired retrovirus and the necessary and sufficient cause of AIDS. However, contrary to the decades old, traditional method of isolating animal retroviruses, the seminal and explicit evidence for the isolation of HIV is based on a notion of specific reactivity between presumed viral proteins present in cell cultures/co-cultures containing tissues derived from AIDS patients and antibodies present in human and animal sera. The utility of this process is evaluated and it is concluded there are many unresolved problems with such a paradigm, all of which have a direct bearing on surgical practice. This paper was written in early 1997 and rejected by the editor of the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery.
 



A letter to The Lancet

This letter, a reply to a paper by Francoise Barr-Sinoussi, was submitted to The Lancet in 1996 but was refused publication too.
 



Another reply to The Lancet

Published reply on a 1995 report in The Lancet on HIV transmission following in vitro fertilisation.
 



Reply to Nature study

In 1995 Ho et al. and Wei et al. published data in Nature purporting proof that massive HIV turnover (replication and death) occurs "silently" in the lymph nodes of well, HIV seropositive individuals. This work was lauded as an answer to Duesberg's contention that HIV was present in too tiny amounts in the body to cause AIDS. This reply was rejected by Nature.
 



Comments on case to case transmission of HIV

This article was written by Val Turner in early 1994 and forwarded to the Royal Australasian Surgeons Task Force set up in response to a Lancet report by Chant et al. about patient to patient transmission of HIV. Although the Committee replied in writing that it would comment on these views, no further correspondence was ever received.
 



Reply to The Lancet

In 1994 Mulder and collegues reported in The Lancet a study of mortality linked to HIV seropositivity in Ugandan farmers. This study was accepted as further proof that HIV causes AIDS. This reply was rejected by The Lancet.
 



Letter to Nature and Science

This letter about Gallo's HIV isolation was rejected in 1994 by Nature and Science.
