TL;DR
Arguments that AIDS does not have an infectious basis are as quaint as those of the miasmalists.
Abstract
Last century there was a sharp difference of opinion between those, such as Koch and Pasteur, who proposed that disease could be caused by invisible microbes, and others who held that epidemics are the result of evil vapours (mal'aria). Arguments that AIDS does not have an infectious basis are as quaint as those of the miasmalists.

The LancetKaposi's sarcoma among persons with AIDS: a sexually transmitted infection?
1,067 Citations1990Valerie Beral, Thomas A. Peterman +2 more
Kaposi's sarcoma in persons with AIDS may be caused by an as yet unidentified infectious agent, transmitted mainly by sexual contact.

The site and timing of the first reported cases suggest that the disease arose in Tanzania, and there is no clear evidence to implicate other possible means of transmission, such as by insect vectors or re-used injection needles.

It is concluded from the observed rates and the distribution of predictive variables at three years that half of the men who were seropositive for HIV will develop AIDS by six years after the start of the study, and three quarters will developAIDS or an AIDS related condition.

Results demonstrate that a whole virus vaccine is highly effective in inducing immune responses that can protect against lentivirus infection and AIDS-like disease.

Survival analysis showed that CMV-seropositive patients were at greater risk of HIV disease than CMv-seronegative patients from about 2 years after HIV seroconversion, and CMV infection is associated with a more rapid progression to HIV disease.

Findings strengthen the suggested link between the product of a gene in the A1-Cw7-B8-DR3 haplotype and HIV-1-related disease.

209 Citations1990Stephen Dewhurst, Janet E. Embretson +3 more
To the authors' knowledge this is the first example of acute immunodeficiency disease induced by a molecularly defined lentivirus, and the molecularly cloned SIVSMM-PBjl4 viruses share with the uncloned virus cytopathicity for mangabey CD4+ cells, a property that may correlate with their observed pathogenicity in vivo.

The finding of a cluster of AIDS patients linked by sexual contact is consistent with the hypothesis that AIDS is caused by an infectious agent.
PubMedRetroviruses as carcinogens and pathogens: expectations and reality.
174 Citations1987Peter Duesberg
It has been proposed that retroviruses transform inefficiently by activating latent cellular oncogenes by for example provirus integration, which predicts diploid tumors with great diversity, because integration sites are different in each tumor.

128 Citations1989P H Duesberg
HIV is not sufficient for AIDS and that it may not even be necessary for AIDS because its activity is just as low in symptomatic carriers as in asymptomatic carriers, and the correlation between antibody to HIV and AIDS does not prove causation.
The LancetHTLV-I/II seropositivity and death from AIDS among HIV-1 seropositive intravenous drug users
120 Citations1990J. Bryan Page, Shenghan Lai +4 more
In a prospective study of street-recruited intravenous drug users in Miami, Florida, USA, IVDUs infected with both viruses were three times more likely to die from AIDS during follow-up than were those infected with HIV-1 only.

95 Citations1990Fabrizio Manca, Angus Dalgleish +1 more
Specific T cells stimulated by antigen presenting cells (APC) pulsed with antigen in the presence of HIV were no longer detectable with a functional assay, which suggests that HIV has been transferred from APC to the specific activated T cell via an antigen-dependent mechanism to exert its cytopathic effect on activated T cells.

There is a substantial burden of fatal disease among patients positive for HIV who have not been formally diagnosed as having AIDS, and rate of progression to AIDS depended strongly on age.
