		He discovered HIV and encountered international disdain (see AIDS reappraisal) after declaring in 1990 that HIV cannot cause AIDS on its own, but needed a cofactor which he believes is a mycoplasma.
		The identity of the first person to isolate HIV (which develops into AIDS) was previously disputed between Dr. Montagnier and the American Robert Gallo.

	HIV & AIDS - Commentary on Montagnier
		Since Montagnier and his colleagues admit to not seeing particles at the 1.16g/ml band having the morphology of retrovirus, to claim the presence of a retrovirus much less a "purified virus" is totally unsubstantiated and defies belief.
		In their study Montagnier and his colleagues wrote: "Electron microscopy of the infected umbilical cord lymphocytes showed characteristic immature particles with dense crescent (C-type) budding at the plasma membrane...This virus is a typical type-C RNA tumor virus".
		Montagnier and his colleagues, even after a Roman effort could not find even retrovirus-like particles at this density thus, from his experience (experimental evidence), there are zero chances and NOT 999 out of 1000 that RT activity at the density of 1.15, 1.16 represents a retrovirus in their case.

	Antioxidant Nutrients and AIDS: Exploring the Possibilities - Dr. Luc Montagnier, the discoverer of HIV - HealthWorld ...
		Thanks to the research of Dr. Montagnier and his colleagues, the cause of this mysterious disease which behaved differently from normal viral or bacterial infections, was uncovered by 1983.
		Montagnier's discovery goes beyond the development of measures to prevent the transmission of AIDS; it provides a means to identify those who are infected and allow treatment at an early stage, it also provides a means to develop a protective vaccine and drugs to cure AIDS.
		Montagnier was kind enough to bring me up to date on his continuing research and particularly his research on the role of antioxidant nutrients as a key part in slowing the progression of HIV infection to the AIDS stage.

		In 1983, Luc Montagnier, a French scientist at the Pasteur Institute, claimed to have found a new retrovirus in AIDS patients.
		Montagnier took lymph tissue from a suspected AIDS patient, mixed it with cells from a healthy blood donor and performed a cell culture.
		Montagnier then separated the mitogenically stimulated fluid from the culture and poured it into another dish of healthy cells and again found reverse transcriptase activity.

		Dr Luc Montagnier, one of the team of scientists who first isolated the HIV virus said Monday that the SARS death toll will be much higher among people who have HIV/AIDS than in the general population.
		Montagnier said isolating patients suffering from severe acute respiratory syndrome and placing suspect cases in quarantine early on were the right things to do to prevent the spread of the disease.
		Despite the lack of an effective drug treatment, Montagnier was relatively optimistic about the development of the epidemic, arguing that there are many tools available for tracking and controlling its spread.

	Virus: The Co-discoverer of HIV Tracks Its Rampage and Charts the Future
		Montagnier acknowledges that the discovery of the AIDS virus was technically made possible by the fact that Chermann and Barré-Sinoussi, both retrovirus experts, joined his team from the Pasteur Institute in the Paris suburb Garches.
		Montagnier portrays himself in the subtitle of his book as "the co-discoverer of HIV." He truly is the discoverer of HIV jointly with the key members of the Pasteur team Chermann and Barré-Sinoussi, but he may not be generally considered the person who showed for the first time that HIV was the cause of AIDS.
		While early independent isolations were made by Montagnier, Gallo, and Levy in the years 1983 and 1984, Montagnier, Chermann, and Barré-Sinoussi were without any doubt the first to identify the virus that was later shown by epidemiological research to be the cause of AIDS.

		When Luc Montagnier talks about "co-factors" aggravating the Aids picture in Africa, he is saying more or less the same thing.
		In Montagnier's view, these "co-factors" may be viruses, bacteria, or unknown microorganisms that make it easier for the virus to take root or speed up the decline of a patient after incubation.
		Montagnier wants to do just such research collaboratively with Ugandan scientists at Uganda Virus Research Institute in Entebbe, and believes that all additional or alternative treatments should become part of Africa's armoury against this disease.
