Dr Gallo's work has come under fire before, with US government investigations in the 1990s concluding that the lead paper was “fraught with false and erroneous statements” and that "the careless and unacceptable keeping of research records...reflects irresponsible aboratory management that has permanently impaired the ability to retrace the important steps taken". “With new findings that undermine he scientific integrity and veracity of Gallo's four papers, the entire basis of the theory that HIV causes AIDS may now be questioned," said David Crowe, president of the international organisation Rethinking AIDS.
