The African heterosexual AIDS myth

Ninety-nine percent of AIDS and HIV cases in Africa come from sexual transmission, virtually all heterosexual. So says the World Health Organization, with other agencies toeing the line. Massive condom airdrops accompanied by a persuasive propaganda campaign would practically make the epidemic vanish overnight. Or would it?

A determined renegade group of three scientists has fought for years – with little success – to get out the message that no more than a third of HIV transmission in Africa is from sexual intercourse and most of that is anal. By ignoring the real vectors, they say, we’re sacrificing literally millions of people.

These men are no crackpots. John Potterat is author of 140 scholarly publications. He began working for the El Paso County, Colorado health department in 1972 and initiated the first U.S. partner-tracing program for AIDS/HIV.

You're absolutely right. I know that quite thoroughly. I was lazy. Bad lepton! Bad lepton!

Actually, I wanted an excuse to post a creepy-crawly picture.

They can't acknowledge this because it was/is the WHO recommending anal sex as birth control, beginning about 30 years ago.
