How scientists discovered false evidence on the world's 'first Aids victim. ' (US experts disprove claims that the death of a British man in 1959 was caused by HIV)

Article Abstract:

Researchers in the UK have for some time thought that David Carr, a Manchester man who died from a mystery illness in 1959, could have in fact been infected with the HIV virus. Very careful experiments on tissue samples from his organs which had been preserved since his death found that HIV was indeed present. However, other experts are now disputing this diagnosis, claiming that some mistake must have been made or that the samples were mixed up.
