Judith Anne-Post 46: Any idea how much money is devoted to research for a CURE for lung cancer, vs a CURE for HIV? AK: No reply.

I did reply and that's not a "uncited source." I have said repeatedly that I don't know anything about disease research funding. That issue has been brought up repeatedly, and I given the same answer at least twice on this thread. This is the third time.

Gee, Judith Anne, you accused him of being gay? I looked but didn’t see that. Where did that happen? AK: No reply.

Again, I've answered that in another post. #54, Judith Anne said that I was always pushing the "GLBT, Rainbow position," which is a super secret way of implying that I'm a homosexual.

metmom post 198 Bigger than cancer? Diabetes? Malaria? TB? Dysentary? Let's see some data to support that statement. AK: No reply.

Well, by definition prioritizing of diseases is somewhat subjective. More people worldwide for instance have malaria, but fewer die than from AIDS. Looking at WHO data, for example, HIV/AIDS comes in as the #2 killer, behind "lower respiratory diseases," a catchall that describes a wide variety of different conditions that mainly contribute to infant mortality.

Even supposing those numbers are accurate, and unless there’s a medical diagnosis by a trained medical professional in each and every case of suspected AIDS death worldwide, how does “Some 39.4 million people in the world live with HIV.” translate into 40 million CHILDREN in AFRICA with AIDS/HIV?
