    • A few other dissenters exist, as will become clear in the text, but none have been as noted as Duesberg. However, this is not an exercise in hagiography. We are not interested in praising or vilifying Duesberg. Instead, his critique is our device for analyzing differences in scientific verification practices (this paper) and for writing a narrative history of his contemporary controversy (see Fujimura J.H. and Chou D. Controversy in science and medicine: a contemporary history of the debate over the cause of AIDS, forthcoming).

    • Our approach differs from S. Cole's recent discussion of the role of ‘truth’, Harvard University Press, Cambridge, MA, Cole views socially constructed knowledge as ephemeral. In contrast, our approach to the issue of ‘truth’ can be summarized in the statement that “just because something is constructed does not mean that it is not real.” Instead of continuing the persistent efforts to “pin down” truth and reality, we discuss what is observable by sociologists/ anthropologists. This means that we examine the practices and activities of scientists in their efforts to construct facts, rather than try to adjudicate the issue of truth.

    • Routledge, London, Beginning in the 1950s, epidemiologists also began to discuss methods for understanding causation in chronic diseases. With the exception of a few rare genetic, single-gene diseases, the research on non-infectious chronic disease faced the problem of showing the specificity of presumed causal factors. Even here, a disease like sickle cell anemia, a single-gene disease, exhibits a range of clinical manifestations, depending on other host and environmental factorsFagot-Largeault [56] discusses the use of statistics in determining chronic disease causation.

    • Nevertheless mistakes are made in diagnostic procedures in the Western world. Winkelstein tells a story about a study on polymerase chain reaction (PRC), a sensitive procedure for testing for the presence of HIV, as employed by five different research laboratories. The labs agreed to participate in the study and knew in advance that the results would be published. Yet, at least 40 clerical mistakes were made: “checking the wrong specimens, calling them positive when they were negative, getting the numbers mixed up… You cannot believe how easy it is to get these things mixed up” [Winkelstein interview 1992].

    • A matter of FACS constituting novel entities in immunology
    • CD4 refers to a protein that sits on the surface of the T-4 lymphocytes (immune system cells). This protein is used as a marker for counting T-4 cells, since immunologists have designed efficient and standardized methods for identifying the proteinThe molecular biological argument is that the CD4 protein chemically ‘attracts’ a protein on the surface of the HIV, allowing the virus to then move its genetic material into the cell and make it reproduce viral copies which in turn attacks enough T-cells to kill the host.
