Peter Duesberg (born 1936 in Germany) is a molecular biologist. His talent and its results in respected accomplishments are reflected in his election to the American National Academy of Science in 1986 for his work on retroviruses. His 1987 paper "Retroviruses as Carcinogens and Pathogens: Expectations and Reality" argued that a lymphotropic retrovirus could be used as an indicator of AIDS infection but was not potent enough to be the primary cause of the disease.[1] In 1997 he wrote a science book suitable for a wide audience entitled Inventing the AIDS Virus in which "Duesberg argues that HIV is merely a harmless passenger virus that does not cause AIDS."[2]

Peter Duesberg is a man of extraordinary energy, unusual honesty, enormous sense of humour, and a rare critical sense. --Paul Gallo [1]
