The article has been from back in 1990s, look at the copyright. The status quo and the reality are against the view and they last until today.

Rebels, those who don't want to accept the status quo even when the majority holds that view.

Such view isn't endorsed by the majority of HIV experts.

Just a stray paper on the net can not be compared with wisdom, knowledge and know how gained through research, spread over 3 decades. HIV can not penetrate through an intact skin. Transmission routes are well known and established. Just to refresh, there are the only known routes as follows,

Sexual Routes

Unprotected anal and vaginal sex.

Non Sexual Routes

From mother to child, transfusion of unscreened and unsafe blood (still a problem in developing countries), sharing syringes (like drug addicts)

Any other transmission route, if mentioned anywhere, is certainly not for the HIV.
