In the September 25 issue of Science, Peter Duesberg once again puts
forth his argument that HIV is a symptom, rather than a cause of AIDS.
Without belaboring the point, can someone simply state the reasons for
Duesberg's contraversial position? My immunology students ask about this
and I do poorly at identifying the crux of his argument. At its base,
I guess, Duesberg contends that there is a different cause for this
chronic cell-mediated immunodeficiency. What might that be? Is Duesberg a
lone ranger?
