HIV exists?

The existence of HIV is questionable

There are three assertations regarding the HIV Virus
- HIV exists and it is a cause of AIDS
- HIV exists but is a harmless passenger virus
- HIV doesn’t exist
  - HIV has never been isolated according to the standards for retroviral isolation established in 1973 at the Pasteur Institute

Further Questions
If the HIV virus is not validated by the ‘Cohort study’, do other viruses ever validated by it?

Excerpt from AIDSTruth

HIV has been isolated from patients at all stages of HIV infection, including AIDS, and propagated in cell culture (17, 46–54). Various protocols for HIV-1 isolation (without “contaminants” claimed by Dr. Goodson) have been developed, and each of these protocols can be considered “standard” (55–62). Detailed images of HIV-1 virions, revealing morphology typical of the genus Lentivirus, have been obtained using transmission electron microscopy (46–48, 53, 63) and electron cryotomography (64, 65). A combination of immunofluorescent and electron microscopy has allowed visualization of intracellular trafficking of individual HIV-1 particles toward the nucleus of the infected cell (66). The process of cell-to-cell transfer of HIV-1 between T-lymphocytes has been visualized using high-speed three-dimensional video microscopy (67).

On April 23, 1984, Dr. Robert Gallo filed a patent application for an antibody test, now generally referred to as the "AIDS test". The same day Gallo announced at an international press conference that he had discovered "the probable cause of AIDS", a new retrovirus, later named HIV. Also so that only the AIDS patients and not the healthy control group came up positive on his antibody test, he had to dilute the blood an extraordinary 500-fold. These facts alone should have been enough to cast serious doubt on Gallo's claim that he had discovered a new retrovirus or the "probable cause of AIDS".1,2,3 When a person has any of these 26 microbial or viral-caused opportunistic infections and also tests positive for antibodies to HIV, he or she is diagnosed with AIDS.

Critical Analysis of the HIV Antibody Tests and the Evidence for the Existence of HIV

12th World AIDS Conference Official Satelite Meeting
Geneva, June 28th 1998

The only way to prove the existence of a virus is to isolate its particles. No. The only reason we have HIV is antibodies. When it is all said and done, it’s not just that antibodies are used to prove some individuals are infected with HIV. As in the case of HIV, Gallo and his colleagues claimed that antibodies elevated certain culture proteins to the status of a virus. When it was discovered that such antibodies were induced by a wide variety of stimuli that had nothing to do with viruses, and they occurred in far more healthy people than could have ever had the virus to cause leukemia, HL23V disappeared from the annals of science.

IFAS Press-Communique from the 12th World AIDS Conference

None of the so-called "HIV-markers", biomedical or genetic, seen in human subjects labeled "HIV positive" and/or having "AIDS" has been known to be specific for "HIV".
