ABSTRACT: It is almost universally accepted that AIDS is caused by the HIV virus. However, ever since the inception of the AIDS crisis there have been so-called AIDS dissidents or dissenters, who do not accept this link. Some of these dissenters are major bona fide scientists yet their views are generally marginalized and are not published in the major scientific-medical journals. The aim of this review is to present the AIDS dissenters viewpoint in a neutral, uncritical manner. My aim is to provide an easily acceptable account of the AIDS dissenter’s viewpoint which the reader can compare with the generally accepted AIDS model. In this way, they can come to their own conclusion as to whether or not the AIDS dissenters have a case.

KEYWORDS: Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome; AIDS; HIV; virus; sexually ransmitted infections; Disease Control and immune system
