If only that money could be spent on Alzheimers research. I guarantee you if you told people to stop doing something and they could avoid Alzheimers, they would stop immediately!!

I’m sure that Michael Moore will be filming a documentary about the excellent treatment these patients will receive from the Cuban medical system. Article doesn’t mention the demographics of these “patients”.

Unprotected sex, drugs. Stay away from those 2 and most will be spared.
Married and committed people get a pas on the first one.

It’s not too hard to figure out how a lot of this new special HIV got incubated. Reckless behavior that political correctness is in so much denial about.
