Perhaps the exact numbers are off but i’ve been to Africa twice on mission trips and I can assure you that AIDS has spread a ton of human misery on that continent. In some countries average live expectancy is down almost 20 years. Yes the population may be growing in Africa but thats because of an absurdly high birthrate. A lot of folks are dying young over there and the tragedy should not be minimized.

Perhaps you read the entire article. In addition to population stats, it points to differences in diagnostic procedure. There are many diseases that kill people in Africa that would be classed as aids based on the symptoms.

Gee Smooth Talker, perjaps you’d like to regale us with your Ph.D. bio. What a maroon! You wouldn’t wouldn’t know a retrovirus if it bit you in your ponderous ass! “I’ve been to Africa.............” Perhaps you’ll win the Nobel Prize for Science! You clowns slay me!

How do you know it is aids and not malaria or other disease?
