Another study Fauci published back in 1993 is interesting, titled "CD4+ T-lymphocytopenia without HIV infection--no lights, no camera, just facts". Read full text: https://sci-hub.se/10.1056/NEJM199302113280610 Fauci explains that there were many reports of depressed CD4+ T-lymphocyte counts occurring in HIV-negative patients, most of whom's "condition did not deteriorate over time". This idiopathic condition with AIDS symptom of depressed CD4+ T-lymphocyte counts without HIV infection or any other recognizable cause of immunosuppression was not a novel syndrome, but instead had been reported "for decades". Fauci reports [regarding idiopathic CD4+ T-lymphocytopenia]: "In several patients there was a spontaneous reversal toward normal", and "virologic studies performed in 49 patients described in these four reports revealed no evidence of HIV-1, HIV-2, HTLV-1, HTLV-II, or any mononuclear-cell-tropic virus..there is also no epidemiologic evidence to suggest that a transmissible microbe is involved..all close contacts and sexual partners who were studied were clinically well, including 31 sexual partners in whom serologic, immunologic, and virologic studies for HIV were negative." Fauci concludes decrying "media frenzy" over this idiopathic syndrome and "serious concern..expressed about the safety of the blood supply" which in his opinion had been put to rest through "solid data" and proper "scientific process". Other researchers reporting AIDS without HIV and questioning accuracy of surrogate markers like antibody tests, PCR viral load tests, & Helper cell counts included Ho, 1993; Duncan, 1993, Fleming, 1996; DeMets, 1996; deHarven, 2010; Duesberg, 2011; Giraldo, 2006 &Goodson, 2014. Interestingly, three prominent scientists who questioned whether AIDS was resultant from HIV, & PCR utilization when detecting HIV all died in 2019: Dr Etienne de Harven, Roberto Giraldo, and Kary Mullis.
