 AIDS reappraisal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The AIDS reappraisal movement (or AIDS dissident movement) is a loosely connected group of activists — journalists, scientists, HIV-positive persons, and concerned citizens — who dispute the consensus view that the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is the cause of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).
AIDS has been the subject of many thousands of peer-reviewed studies since it was first detected in 1981, and a clear scientific consensus has developed that HIV causes AIDS.
AIDS dissidents claim another reason that HIV cannot cause AIDS is that the virus is neutralized by antibodies.

 Duesberg on AIDS- The role of drugs in the origin of AIDS
AIDS is a new syndrome of 25 previously known diseases (19,62,63), In American 63% are microbial diseases such as pneumonia, candidiasis, tuberculosis, cytomegalovirus, and herpes virus disease (18,19) that result from immunodeficiency due to a severe depletion of T-cells (62, 63).
This hypothesis assumes: 1) that HIV is new and therefore AIDS is new in all countries with HIV [9]; 2) that AIDS is acquired by sexual and parenteral transmission of HIV [62, 63]; and 3) that AIDS occurs in the presence of antibodies to HIV (a positive AIDS virus [6, 33, 48].

 HIV & AIDS - Reappraisal of the depletion of circulating CD4+ lymphocytes in HIV-carriers in transition to AIDS
A characteristic for the transition from asymptomatic HIV infection to AIDS-related complex and to full-blown AIDS is the continual reduction in the number of CD4-lymphocytes in the blood while the CD8-lymphocyte count remains practically constant.
In order to clarify the question of the cause of the increasing depletion of CD4-cells in the transition from healthy ‘HIV’-carrier to AIDS patient it seems to us to be useful to make a critical review of the studies of this phenomenon which appeared before the first description of AIDS in 1981.
In the mid-’70s Fauci and his working group showed that after the administration of cortisol (a hormone produced by the adrenal glands in response to stress) the body appeared to respond with a selective reduction in the number of CD4-cells.

 AIDS in Afrika ? - Press release
This week's release of the long awaited Presidential AIDS Advisory Panel Report from South Africa represents an historic turning point that The Group For the Scientific Reappraisal of AIDS has been fighting for since its inception a decade ago.
The extraordinary lack of reliable figures on HIV or AIDS on the continent of Africa, where the Global Burden of Disease Study (1996) estimated that only 1.1% of death statistics were accurate.
We hope that members of the media will scrutinize the South African AIDS Report, re-examine their core beliefs about HIV and AIDS, and fulfill the core mandate of the journalistic ethic which is to check all sides of the story, and to report the facts as they find them.

While HIV is the virus that causes AIDS, AIDS refers to the set of immune deficiency symptoms that often do not surface for years after initial infection.
Today, AIDS is diagnosed via the helper T-cell count; in the 1980s unusually severe cases of a combination of opportunistic diseases were considered diagnostic.
It should be noted that AIDS was only described in the 1980s, after the start of the HIV epidemic, while similar conditions - wasting, decreased resistance against infections - due to poverty etc. have been around for centuries without raising much interest.

 Truths Told About AIDS Dissidents! AIDS Dissident, AIDS Dissidence, AIDS Denialists, AnitAIDS Groups Tatics
AIDS apologists (AKA AIDS realists) are those who know it is a fact that HIV leads to AIDS (proven by science, so much scientific proof) and we are defending the scientifically known fact that viral pathogenesis and progression of 'HIV to AIDS' causes the eventual need for combination therapies to prolong life.
Mixed "AIDS Apologist" links here or find comments here from both sides (dissidents and the scientific community), but still mostly about AIDS Apologist activities.
AIDS dissidents (better known as AIDS Denialists who are AIDS dissidence, dissidence is anti-establishment like, against science and progression, argumentative) deny HIV causes AIDS and claim the medications kill the patients (AZT "over use" alone started this myth in the late 80s, but medicine combo/therapies are working today in the year 2000+).

 Talk:AIDS conspiracy - SourceWatch
This is an important theory to consider, but eventually, we need to include the more mainstream critiques of "AIDS" propaganda by groups such as the Scientific Committee for the Reappraisal of AIDS, Peter Deusberg and others.
These groups tend to claim not that AIDS is a fabricated retro-virus, but rather that the HIV retrovirus(es) are not the cause of the syndrome.
The more plausible critique of AIDS suggests the USDHHS erred when it stated in a press conference it had discovered the "cause" of AIDS was HIV before the findings were analyzed in peer reviewed publications.
