Quote

We did not purify... We saw some particles but they did not have the morphology [shape] typical of retroviruses. They were very different... What we did not have, as I have always recognized it, is that it was truly the cause of AIDS.

We don't know why, but there are some gradients of infection.

AIDS does not inevitably lead to death, especially if you suppress the co-factors that support the disease. It is very important to tell this to people who are infected.
Luc Montagnier
Image
Since most of the transmission is sexual transmission, you have a regional or local response to the virus.

The idea of the live-virus vaccine is to produce in a continuous way some viral antigens.
Luc Montagnier
Image
My proposal now is to test a vaccine first on people who have been infected, and if you show some efficacy at this level, you might be able to go further to study uninfected people in a population with a high rate of infection.

It's easier to learn things for life by the age of 12 and not the age of 18. This is just my guess.

We can be exposed to HIV many times without being chronically infected. Our immune system will get rid of the virus within a few weeks, if you have a good immune system.
Luc Montagnier
Image
Psychological factors are critical in supporting immune function. If you suppress this psychological support by telling someone he's condemned to die, your words alone will have condemned him.

Basic research is very useful, but it should be more geared toward application than it was before.
