Summary | This article questions the validity of HIV antibody tests and the existence of a unique retrovirus. It argues that the specificity of these tests is not proven and that antibodies can react with proteins from other sources, leading to false positives. The article also criticizes the methods used to isolate the virus, stating that they are non-specific and lack scientific validity. Overall, the article raises doubts about the accuracy of HIV testing and the role of HIV in AIDS.

Summary
The existence of specific antibody/protein reactions is the crucial assumption underlying proof of HIV isolation, proof of HIV infection and the causative role of HIV in AIDS. However, since (i) antibodies which react with the "HIV" proteins arise following allogenic stimuli in non-HIV-infected animals and humans, as well as in mice and humans with autoimmune disorders; antibodies to antigens from both mycobacteria and yeasts cross-react with HIV env and gag proteins; (ii) individuals belonging to the AIDS risk groups are subjected to allogenic stimuli and have high levels of autoimmune antibodies while the vast majority of patients in the AIDS risk groups are infected with either or both mycobacteria or yeasts; the evidence for the existence of HIV and its putative role in AIDS must be reappraised.
