'''Human Immunodeficiency Virus''' ('''HIV''') is generally believed to be the cause of [[AIDS]], although a handful of scientists disagree with the [[scientific consensus|mainstream]] about this.
The '''Human Immunodeficiency Virus''' ('''HIV''') is the presumed cause of the "[[gay plague]]" of the 1980s (see [[AIDS]]). Infection with virus is believed to interfere with human [[immune system]], creating extremely an high risk of contracting several fatal diseases. Doctors say this leads to death in 75% to 90% of cases, even with treatment.

A French team of researchers has been given primary credit for the discovery, although the American scientist [[Gallo]] apparently discovered it independently.
A handful of scientists have disagreed with the [[scientific consensus|mainstream]] about the existence of the virus, and dispute still goes on about whether HIV is the sole or even main cause of AIDS.<ref>http://www.duesberg.com/</ref>
