Has Duesberg a right of reply?
Article Abstract:
Dr Peter Duesberg's arguments regarding HIV is intolerable since they do not stimulate further research and will only cause confusion in the AIDS community. This justifies Nature Magazine's refusal to publish Duesberg's replies to articles answering his questions. Although most of his questions can be answered with a full understanding of the AIDS pathogenesis, his rhetorical style implies that the lack of immediate replies deem most of his arguments correct.

Duesberg and the new view of HIV
Article Abstract:
Wei and Ho's discovery that the human immune system reacts hyperactively to infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has proved the opinions of Dr. Peter Duesberg to be wrong. Duesberg is of the opinion that HIV does not cause acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and that AIDS is acquired by some other process. The discovery reveals that by reducing the number of lymphocytes in the human immunosystem the HIV induces the formation of AIDS.

Duesberg's anti-AZT campaign continues
Article Abstract:
US molecular biologist Peter Duesberg has stated that the results of a recent study which contradicts his claim that HIV was caused by recreational rather than drug use, has charged that the results of the research conducted by the group of Michael Ascher were fabricated. Duesberg also claimed that HIV was aggravated with the use of the antiviral agent zidovudine which was as toxic to human T-cells as it was to the HIV virus.
