The Perth Group is a group of HIV/AIDS denialists based in Perth, Australia. The group was formed in 1981 and is composed of Eleni Papadopulos-Eleopulos, Valendar F. Turner, and John M. Papadimitriou. The group's main contention is that the existence of HIV has not been definitively proven, and that AIDS is not caused by an infectious virus, but is a condition that arises from oxidative stress.
