Robert Willner

Robert Willner (b. ? - died 15 April 1995) was a medical doctor from Florida who became famous for his role in AIDS reappraisal - the group of people who believe that AIDS is not caused by the HIV virus.

Dr. Willner authored a book presenting his point of view on the relation between HIV and AIDS, titled "Deadly Deception: the Proof That Sex And HIV Absolutely Do Not Cause AIDS". The book was published shortly after Willner's medical license was revoked for, among other things, treating an AIDS patient with ozone therapy.

The following month, on October 28 1994, in a press conference at a North Carolina hotel, Willner jabbed his finger with blood he said was from an HIV-infected patient. Willner died six months later, on April 15, 1995, of a heart attack.
