In his book, Inventing the AIDS Virus, Dr. Peter Deusberg, an eminent scientist and pioneer in the discovery of retroviruses, presents convincing evidence disproving the theory that HIV causes AIDS.  In fact, he argues that HIV is harmless, and that it meets none of the criteria used to establish a microbe as responsible for disease.  He states that AIDS is a condition of a suppressed immune system caused by other factors such as exposure to drugs (both illicit and prescription) and other toxins, and lifestyle. Deusberg claims that highly toxic former cancer drugs such as AZT, used to treat AIDS, destroy the immune system, causing AIDS-like symptoms.  This book could do a lot to dispel the fear around a disease that may turn out to be very different than what we thought it was.
