“…None had evidence of HIV-1,2 infection, as judged by multiple serologies over several years, standard viral co-cultures for HIV p24 Gag antigen, and proviral DNA simplification by polymerase chain reaction' (Laurence et al, 1992). Similar cases have recently been reported from other institutions including the CDC (Afrasiabi et al, 1986;Pankhurst & Peakman, 1989;Safai et al, 1991;Seligmann et al, 1991;Sirianni et al, 1991;CDC, 1992;Hi'shida et al, 1992;Tijhuis et al, 1993).…”

The data generally accepted as proving the HIV theory of AIDS, HIV cytopathy, destruction of T4 lymphocytes, and the relationship between T4 cells, HIV and the acquired immune deficiency clinical syndrome are critically evaluated. It is concluded these data do not prove that HIV preferentially destroys T4 cells or has any cytopathic effects, nor do they demonstrate that T4 cells are preferentially destroyed in AIDS patients, or that T4 cell destruction and HIV are either necessary or sufficient prerequisites for the development of the clinical syndrome.

Despite initial claims to the contrary, a cluster of reports of severe opportunistic infections occurring in patients without evidence of HIV infection do not appear to represent a new disease entity or present evidence of epidemiologically associated cases suggesting an infectious agent. Reported cases are reviewed and appear to represent a heterogeneous group, many of which may represent sporadic cases of late onset acquired immunodeficiency. In addition, a small group of asymptomatic subjects have been identified with constitutively low CD4 T cell populations which appear to have little or no clinical significance since these patients have no evidence of clinical immunodeficiency. Newly identified cases should be fully investigated immunologically and virologically after recovery from their presenting infection and continuous or prophylactic therapy instituted only in cases of substantiated long-term severe immunodeficiency.
