An eminent scientist and pioneer in the discovery of retroviruses challenges the widely accepted belief that HIV is the cause of AIDS. Duesberg argues that HIV is merely a harmless passenger virus that does not cause AIDS. Sure to spark intense debate, this provocative book offers an original and incisive critique of the rise and fall of HIV.

Proof that hiv doesn’t and can’t cause AIDS
The 1984 proposed theory that a “newly discovered retrovirus” called hiv causes sexually transmitted epidemic immune failure disease is horribly flawed and has been a complete failure. This book proves it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK!!
    Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2003

    A great expose of the biggest scientific/medical blunder in human history. And I'm NOT exaggerating.
    This is one of the most important books ever written. Don't be fooled by the hysterical critiques by people who have probably never read the book. Apparently they lost their critical thinking faculties years ago and just prefer to parrot the establishment view on everything in life. I used to believe that HIV caused AIDS, because like most people THAT'S ALL I WAS TOLD! Then I found an article about this book in a magazine, read the book, delved into the AIDS dissident movement at virusmyth.net, and the whole thing took off from there. Yes, people are dying of something the establishment decided to call "AIDS". But it isn't caused by HIV! You've heard the word "AIDS" so many times that you have a fear response conditioned into you. You can't even think about it without being disturbed. Just give up your hysteria and use your brain.
    If you think that HIV causes AIDS, and that it's been "proven", you don't know ANYTHING about it.
    Just read this book, put aside all of the [stuff] you were taught by the media and your high-school health teacher, and think for yourself. In fact, people NOT thinking for themselves is what propels the insane "HIV causes AIDS" nonsense in the first place. The establishment theory is just plain stupid, as anyone with sense can see after reading this book or the others like it.
    Duesberg is a genius, and anyone who actually has a freethinking brain left in his/her head will realize that upon reading this book. Yes, it will blow your mind. After you read it, you'll feel like you're living in the Matrix or something. But Duesberg's argument is EXCELLENT, perfectly explained, and heavily notated. Be brave; dare to read something that challenges the lies we were all taught!
    Another great site with information that contests the "HIV causes AIDS" nonsense theory is virusmyth.net. It contains hundreds and hundreds of articles from all over the place that can fill out the picture for you. You should visit that website, because while this book is excellent, it's only the tip of the iceberg. Hundreds of eminent scientists from all over the world, including Nobel Prize winners, disagree with the b.s. that HIV causes AIDS. But you never hear about them, do you?
    The notion that HIV causes AIDS is the biggest scientific blunder in human history. You owe it to yourself and the world to read this book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Silence=Death
    Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2000

    Silence=Death. That's what the Act Up movement has been screaming for years. Then why the effort to silence Duesberg, who is only asking for scientific review of the "evidence" that HIV causes AIDS? It is the effort to silence Duesberg that actually adds to his credibility, the massive effort to keep his thoughts, questions and ideas from the mass of individuals who might start asking their own questions. Aren't we taught to ask questions of our doctors? Aren't we taught that we have to take responsibility for our own well being? Why is it that Duesberg is considered such a threat to the medical establishment? Who benefits by his silence? Who loses if the truth comes out?
    From the first chapter: "our leading scientists and policymakers cannot demonstrate that their efforts have saved a single life." Who benefits from testing and "treating" the "high risk" communities who are, more likely, dying from the "treatment" that is *not* saving their lives? "AIDS itself has not yet affected larger numbers of women nor has it entered the heterosexual population outside of drug addicts: nine out of ten AIDS patients is still male, and more than 95 percent still fall into the same risk categories: homosexual (men), heroin addicts, or, in a few cases, hemophiliacs. All other sexually transmitted diseases are equally distributed between the sexes. AIDS has not exploded into the heterosexual population, as do all other sexually transmitted diseases. Yet, the cry rings out for all pregnant women (especially women of color) to be tested, to receive treatment *even if they are not sick*, to transmit AZT to their unborn children, *to save their lives." This, while expectant mothers will be arrested if they take cocaine or drink alcohol, and will be lectured if they take so much as an aspirin. What is wrong with this picture?
    David Ho, director of the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center of New York, recently gave the key to long-term survival with HIV: "None had received antiretroviral therapy." The chilling news is that instead of preventing AIDS, the drugs help to bring it on. The mortality of AZT recipients is 25 percent higher than that of those in untreated control groups. The drug, originally developed for cancer chemotherapy, efficiently destroys the immune system and causes symptoms largely indistinguishable from "AIDS" itself. Even the AIDS establishment is admitting the problems with AZT today.
    The anger pointed at Duesberg is easily understood as he uncovers much of the dirty politics behind the American scientific establishment: something that can only ring very familiar bells as the beginning of the epidemic and the confusion around "who discovered the virus," come to mind, and the press conference that *announced* the cause of the "epidemic" as Secretary of Health and Human Services Margaret Heckler was ushered, quickly and quietly, out of the country. Freedom of speech and scientific inquiry have gone the way of the wind as patients are expected to "trust their doctors" and maintain their drug regimen regardless of the horrendous side effects.
    We have lost our power of choice. Duesberg insists that "AIDS," if it exists at all, is not contagious and that it is not spread by sexual contact. In whose benefit is it to control the sexual behavior and the reproductive capacity of others through terror?
    Duesberg *has* offered to inject himself with the virus. His stand has cost him a great deal that he could have maintained by marching to the tune of the AIDS establishment. Whistle blowers do not fare well in this society, but they are very important and very necessary.
    How quickly we forget the important questions: why is it that the partner of AIDS patient Rock Hudson, the wife and 8 year old daughter of Arthur Ashe, as well as the husband of the late AIDS patient Elizabeth Glasser are HIV and AIDS-free? Why is it that Magic Johnson seems to be doing so well? He won't talk about it, but while Arthur Ashe was on the medical regimen, Magic Johnson dropped it...and seems to be doing just fine.
    Duesberg makes a clear and meticulous case for the correlation of recreational drug use with the breakdown of the immune system that leads to the opportunistic infections associated with AIDS. He also is very clear that whatever is going on in Africa is another story entirely, and quite explainable by sloppy science and big money interests. The current debate in Africa (that is not making the news) threatens to expose the racist rationale behind the push of "anti-AIDS" drugs in South Africa. I can only admire a national leader that would question the agenda of the multi-national pharmaceutical corporations.
    It's a big book, and too thorough to reproduce in a review. I can only suggest a careful reading.
    One more point, though, that will open your eyes as it did mine: Much money is being funneled to community agencies and medical treatment centers in the name of Ryan White, the young Indiana teenager who became a national poster boy for the symbol of heroic battling against AIDS after his school expelled him as a threat to the other students. Although the news media portrayed the death as the tragic end to White's long fight with AIDS, the doctor never publicly confirmed that the death certificate actually attributed the cause of death to AIDS.
    "A phone call to the Indiana Hemophilia Foundation to check the details generated a very different story. A foundation representative directly familiar with White's case was asked of what specific AIDS diseases Ryan White had died. Only internal bleeding and hemorrhaging, liver failure, and collapse of other physiological systems were listed. These conditions interestingly happen to match the classical description of hemophilia, none being listed as peculiar to the AIDS condition, but the representative did not seem to know that. It was then acknowledged that White's hemophilia condition was more severe than the average, requiring him to take clotting factor every day near the end (extremely high risk, according to Duesberg, for immune suppression). On top of all that, White had taken AZT, the former toxic cancer chemotherapy now prescribed as AIDS treatment. Hemophiliacs, needless to say, are particularly vulnerable to the internal ulcerations induced by such chemotherapy. Thus, only media hype transformed White's death from a severe case of hemophilia, exacerbated by AZT, into AIDS."
    Don't take my word for it. Read this book. I read it twice. And I'm sure I'll read it again.

    Reviewed in France on June 23, 2018

    Ce livre est une grande ressource pas seulement sur le sida mais sur l'histoire de la médecine : ainsi on en apprend énormément sur la théorie des germes, sur quelques fiascos de la science du passé tel le SMON au Japon. Mais bien entendu la grosse partie du gros livre est sur le sida et comment, selon Duesberg, le virus HIV a été rendu coupable. Ses arguments sont riches et bien construit, que cela plaise à la théorie officielle, il faut se confronter à ces arguments. Duesberg est souvent présenté comme un personnage peu crédible, ici on voit aussi que c'est un grand scientifique qui avait déjà une longue carrière dans le domaine des rétrovirus. Son livre se lit comme un thriller. Le livre est d'ailleurs traduit en français sous le titre "L'invention du virus du sida".

    Lessi per caso un paio di capitoli di questo libro alcuni anni fa: si spalancò un mondo di dubbi e riflessioni.
    L'autore è tutto fuorché un ciarlatano, le domande che pone sono tuttora senza risposte convincenti da parte della "comunità scientifica".
    Il libro, poi, contiene una lunga serie di esempi di errori clamorosi della medicina "ufficiale" del passato, dei quali si parla poco o per niente.
    Una lettura utile per stimolare un pensiero critico su quello che viene affermato con granitica e "scientifica" certezza in tanti campi, in particolare in quello medico.

    I had seen a few documentaries on the topic and wanted to investigate further on the matter. Duesberg really has a case and shows understandable evidence that HIV = AIDS is just a hoax and how this scam managed to gain wide acceptance among the medical establishment, the media and society at large.
