For over 20 years, UC Berkeley professor Peter Duesberg has believed that HIV does not cause AIDS, an opinion that he says has limited his academic career and alienated him from the scientific community.
?You cannot find the (HIV) virus, only antibodies, and it doesn?t spread via sex as it should,? Duesberg said. ?HIV is a harmless virus. I have said that before, and I continue to say it.?
The tenured professor of molecular and cell biology ? who said he has been called ?homophobic? and a ?mass murderer? in the past for his beliefs ? elicited further controversy after the publication of his most recent article in a scientific journal sparked the resignation of a member of the journal?s editorial board.
Near the end of January, Klaudia Brix of Jacobs University in Germany resigned from the board of the Italian Journal of Anatomy and Embryology in protest of the December publication of Duesberg?s article, entitled ?AIDS since 1984: No evidence for a new, viral epidemic ? not even in Africa.?
?It?s just propaganda that they?re dying from AIDS,? Duesberg said.
