Meta Description

  • Gallo claimed HIV as AIDS' cause, but presented no evidence. His claim was accepted, halting other research. Doubts arose about HIV's role in causing AIDS.

Summary

  • Gallo announced HIV as the probable cause of AIDS without substantial evidence, leading to a halt in research into other possible causes. His data showed he couldn't find HIV in over half of his AIDS patients, raising questions about his hypothesis. Montagnier, who accused Gallo of stealing his HIV sample, stated he doesn't believe HIV alone can cause AIDS. Despite over 100,000 papers published on HIV, none have convincingly demonstrated its role in causing AIDS. The number of HIV positive Americans hasn't increased since the HIV test was introduced in 1985.
