I wonder about the dynamics of the body’s immune system when it becomes compromised with the effects of AIDs. A compromised immune system will combat a biological intruder with incomplete results. This sets up the intruder through the dynamics of genetic change to manifest itself in a form that is resistant to the host’s immune system. This new form is more virulent and, if passed on to new hosts with compromised immune systems, can evolve to an even deadlier form. It sort of like treating a disease with antibiotics that are not strong enough to eliminate the disease. The bacterium that resist the antibiotic multiply into a new resistant and virulent strain. This same effect I believe happens in the test tube of the compromised immune system. Such persons become carriers to infect others.

Thanks for that helpful explanation. It’s what I was getting at in #53 above, but knowing nothing about biology it was difficult to articulate.

I hate to put it this way, but your explanation makes it perfectly obvious that the “gay community” is the ideal petri dish for the evolution of new and very deadly diseases. Basically, a closed community that is constantly recycling the toxins and waste products that the human body is designed to excrete and eliminate.
