Doesn't it ever occur to anyone why Africans are dying like lemmings going over a cliff, yet Americans who copulate unprotected like bunnies aren't?????? It's because African's aren't dying from HIV. They are dying from a wasting disease and a vast assortment of indigenous diseases that we don't have or can protect against.
Ok. Let's all repeat after me. HIV doesn't cause AIDS, and AIDS is NOT a sexually-transmitted disease.
You may now resume your normal reading of FR.
I have been out of the industry for forever, but I DID used to work for Upjohn when the first AIDS cases came here.
At one time, I knew a fair amount about it, and i did hospice care for som of the very first AIDS patients in this country.
I persoanlly believe that the reason South Africans are getting it in droves is because of the propaganda their government hands them ( the disease does not exist) and because for the men, it is okay to boink anything that has two legs ( this includes ducks, BTW. ) Since ther eIS no stigma on teh behavior, it has spread like wild-fire and a lot of people, 9 wives and little kids) have gotten it who have not deserved, it, never earned it, do not need it and are helpless againts it.
There is ALSO the wide-spread beliefe that if yo are a male who is HIV positive, and can catch a virgin and force her to sex, it will cure you. WHOLE lot of little girls being infected that way....
Africa depresses me.
