"The only place reported AIDS cases come anywhere near the projections is in Africa. But this may be explained by physician Felix Konotey-Ahulu of Ghanda, who after touring Africa in search of AIDS wrote a scathing editorial for the Lancet in 1987. African AIDS statistics are purposely inflated because "Where there was 'AIDS' there was money," Konotey-Ahulu reported, "a brand-new clinic, a new Mercedes parked outside, high-paying jobs. ... A leading African physician warned us 'You will never get these doctors to tell you the truth. When they get sent to these AIDS conferences around the world, the per diem they receive is equal to what they can earn in a whole year at home.' "

James Hogan (a science fiction writer who's more or less the Asimov of this generation, albeit on a more right-leaning basis)has become a big Deusberg defender on his website. He points out that while AIDS is normally defined as HIV plus an "opportunistic disease" (of which there are dozens), in Africa one can have "AIDS" while HIV negative. The political reasons for this, you just spelled out.
