HIV Origins and Vaccines: PubMed Entries
This is a collection of citations for the PubMed entries I found that are related to the HIV origin question. Specifically, all of these papers refute the hypotheses that the HIV virus was spread to the human populations through the misuse of either the Oral Polio Virus (OPV) or the Hepatitis B vaccines.

I understand this list might have many and significant omissions so if you find more related entries please let me know so that I can keep an up-to-date page with all relevant published info.
