Has HIV ever been isolated?

In particular I am interested with one specific claim made by Jody Wells Memorial Prize.

Is his claim true and reasonable? I’ll explain what I mean by reasonable latter.

The organisers of the Jody Wells Memorial Prize say it hasn’t:

The rules for isolation of a retrovirus were thoroughly discussed at
the Pasteur Institute, Paris, in 1973, and are the logical minimum
requirements for establishing the independent existence of HIV. They
are:

1. Culture of putatively infected tissue.

2. Purification of specimens by density gradient ultracentrifugation.

3. Electron micrographs of particles exhibiting the morphological characteristics
   and dimensions (100-120 nm) of retroviral particles at
   the sucrose (or percoll) density of 1.16 gm/ml and containing nothing
   else, not even particles of other morphologies or dimensions.

4. Proof that the particles contain reverse transcriptase.

5. Analysis of the particles’ proteins and RNA and proof that these are unique.

6. Proof that 1-5 are a property only of putatively infected tissues and can not be induced in control cultures. These are
   identical cultures, that is, tissues obtained from matched, unhealthy
   subjects and cultured under identical conditions differing only in
   that they are not putatively infected with a retrovirus.

7. Proof that the particles are infectious, that is when PURE particles are introduced into an uninfected culture or animal, the
   identical particle is obtained as shown by repeating steps 1-5.

I want to know if the article is misleading, etc.

1. Was the HIV virus isolated?
2. Are the 7 rules cited in the competition reasonable? Can scientists do these for other viruses? Or have the authors just created an arbitrarily impossible step to make a point?

For example, say humans can isolate most virus but not HIV, then the claim is reasonable. However, if the 7 rules is equivalent of finding actual photograph of HIV virus hugging Elvis, which is not doable for all other virus or not, then the rules are not reasonable.

While I really want to know whether HIV causes AIDS or not, I am not asking this. I am asking for one of their subclaims that is much easier to verify or check.

To make this clear:

I should clarify that. In this question I am asking a specific claim. The website requires 7 rules to satisfy him that he claimed not to have been full filled. I want to know whether the claim is true and reasonable.
