Inventing the AIDS Virus

Book • 1995
Peter Duesberg's "Inventing the AIDS Virus" is a controversial book that challenges the widely accepted scientific consensus on HIV and AIDS.

Duesberg argues that HIV is not the cause of AIDS and that other factors, such as lifestyle and drug use, are responsible.

His views have been widely rejected by the scientific community due to a lack of supporting evidence.

The book has been criticized for its flawed methodology and promotion of misinformation.

Despite its rejection by mainstream science, it has influenced AIDS denialist movements.
