You've got a memory like an elephant! :) YES.. and it stopped in Dallas, and other places. (I remember Dallas figured strongly in the rhetoric of how AIDS cruised from Africa).

"And then off it goes".

YEP. Do you remember all the conspiracy theories, too? How about.. uh.. the monkey/human thing.. never mind.

Oh yeah. The gay men's hepatitus study in NY that was secretly run by the CIA to A) test the AIDS virus and/or B) decimate the gay population. Presumably to make the world safe for homophobes.

Again, extremely sad. Another diversion from the rational ways of dealing with the disease. Many unnecessary deaths.
