The term 'Slow virus infections' refers to the tempo of the DISEASE, not to the growth rate of the virus. Such diseases have a prolonged incubation period (which can be months or years), and a protracted, progressive clinical course.

Why is that? Seems not to go along with your theory of evolution, now does it!

So you're a Google scientist! Haven't read a scientific journal ever, I'll wager

Remember, in creation science an argument from semantics is as good as doing a real study. Somebody said "slow virus," so any desired viruses are slow. Therefore, if the hominids coming out of Africa 120K years ago didn't have AIDS antibodies, that's a disproof of evolution. Any confusion of words or of anything else is a refutation of evolution.
