This amazing book makes a good case that HIV is NOT the cause of AIDS. Duesberg is not a crank. He is a major cancer researcher, and he is supported by a number of Nobel Prize winners.
Here, for example, is the 1993 Nobel winner in chemistry, Kary Mullis: "We know that to err is human, but the HIV/AIDS hypothesis is one hell of a mistake. I say this rather strongly as a warning. Duesberg has been saying it for a long time. Read this book."

This book is so horrendously bad. If you know anything about HIV/AIDS you will be amazed at how much someone can manipulate facts and rewrite history to serve their own diluted interests.
If you want the real story of AIDS I suggest watching PBS Frontline's <a href="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/aids/>Age of AIDS</a> It is a 3 hour long documentary, but you won't waste nearly as much time on it as you would reading Peter Duesberg spew unscientific garbage fo More...

I was directed to this book when my professor and friend Lynn Margulis made a public statement of her suspicion that HIV is not the cause of AIDS.
While I would not prescribe any course of action for those living with HIV based on what I learned studying the history of HIV research, the study of the virus, or the research being done on alternative theories - I do agree that the book raises questions which should not be ignored.
I still advocate safer sex practices, but feel More...

Dr. Peter Duesberg claims that HIV does not cause AIDS. Instead, he says that AIDS is caused by chemical factors and malnutrition. HIV is a harmless passenger retrovirus. The author is hard to dismiss since he is a professor of molecular and cellular biology at UC Berkley, was inducted to the National Academy of Sciences, is an expert in retrovirus research, and was one of the first scientists to discover cancer genes.

I thought it was sort of awesome at the time... now I think it's very unconvincing, and the sort of misinformation that people die from (e.g. HIV denial in South Africa)

A solid book with solid science. If only the pro-AIDS establishment could be so truthful in their research outcomes. I, too, see Duesberg as one day being heralded as a hero. I'm hoping it's before he passes, because this murderous streak has to come to an end. There are too many people dying due to misinformation and the drug companies quest for profit over truth.
