Absolutely right BlueYonder. Under the Bangui definition used across Africa you just have to have a bad cough and look a bit thin (seriously!) to be diagnosed as having AIDs
But also let's not forget the ELISA tests. These are performed upon thousands of Africans at ante-natal clinics. The ELISA test are known to give false positives on black people, and false positives on pregnant women - both conditions not unknown in African ante-natal clinics. Despite their appalling non-specificity, and continued non-calibration against viral isolate, these tests have formed the backbone of the UN's computer-based epidemiological predictions for decades.
Even those Freepers who still believe in the HIV virus should be a little concerned about the slim reeds used to justify the spending of their tax dollars prescribing poisonous drugs and condoms to people with TB.
