Any idea how many in the US, where all the fuss is, are living with HIV?

Where all the fuss is? What are you talking about? AIDS is a relatively minor public health problem in the US. Relatively small numbers have it, and those who do benefit from anti-retroviral drug cocktails that can often drive the virus into remission.

Contrast that to Botswana, were upwards 40% of the adult population are HIV+. That's what I'm talking about, that's what I'm concerned about. There are entire nations that are being depopulated. And not because of gays in the United States.

Oh, I see. You're not a US citizen are you? You've spent the past ten years so obsessive compulsively pursuing US money to cure AIDS in Africa you haven't paid attention to the fact that AIDS has funding has become a political platform all by itself as well as a welfare system for researcher's who'd work themselves out of a job if they find a cure, is that it?

Yeah, we need a vaccine. You need to acknowledge that YOUR side is ALSO interfering with finding one - while screaming that those of us who are collectively FUNDING your cure are cruel, heartless, uncaring and cheap. we have FAMILIES to raise and bills to pay and need SOME of our money for THAT - while at the same time, in it's collective greed for money and power and stop going all arrogant elitist on all of us.

If you are one of the people who's job it is to educate people about preventing aids and the need to find a vaccine for it, then WE PAY YOUR SALARY.
