I'm not convinced that there is much reason to doubt the HIV-causation of AIDS, I'm a bit put off about the way a dissenter is dealt with here.
"What you're saying, though, is a stance that's literally killing millions of people in Africa. Before you say these things lightly, think about it for a few minutes."
"This claim is made by a discredited minority."
I don't think there is anything wrong with not believing, but rather questioning and examining a scientific assumption. Also when it is held by the majority.
And to attack people directly, making them look stupid, evil or irresponsible is certainly no going to convince them.
I found this text [1] which encourages to question orthodoxy, but also shows very clearly why in the case of AIDS/HIV there is overwhelming evidence for causation. It makes clear note that there is not a proof.
