Duesberg hypothesis

The Duesberg hypothesis states that AIDS is not caused by the HIV virus.
Sometimes it is even questioned whether HIV exists. AIDS is taken to be a
name for a group of unrelated diseases caused by drug abuse or malnutrition,
among other factors.

The most prominent defenders of this theory are virologist Peter Duesberg
and Nobel Prize winner Kary Mullis. Other scientists and researchers who
question the HIV hypothesis include David Rasnick, Harvey Bialy, and Stefan Lanka.

The current consensus in the scientific community is that the hypothesis has
been refuted by the huge mass of available evidence, showing that Koch's
postulates have been fulfilled by HIV, that virus numbers in the blood
correlate with disease progression and that a plausible mechanism for HIV's
action has been proposed. The vast preponderance of scientists view
Duesberg's continuing advocacy for what they see as a discredited position
as contributing to misconceptions about AIDS.

Duesberg's supporters continue to believe and espouse their theory, which
was viable at the time it was introduced in the 1980s, but is no longer
considered so by most researchers.
