You are confused. Spell out the acrostic AIDS and you will see that it is not a disease. AIDS kills no one.
Just like WuFlu the prevalence of HIV is unknown. For HIV it is because only gays are routinely tested. Even then the diagnosis of AIDS must follow this formula:
HIV + One or More of 27 Illnesses or Conditions.
No, I’m not confused. I’m simply not into the esoterics of semantics. The people with AIDS die of things they wouldn’t die of for the most part if they didn’t have AIDS. Whether we call it a syndrome, condition, or disease, the end result is the same. AIDS is at the root of the matter.
The keyboardist for the Dave Clark Five, Mike Smith, died of pneumonia. Why did he get pneumonia? Because he fell off a ladder, broke his neck and became a severe quadriplegic. So yes he died of pneumonia. A difference that makes no difference.
Which is why our difference of opinion is no difference at all to the dead person
For someone hung up on the acrostic for AIDS, you’re pretty sloppy with “WuFlu”, which is not an influenza at all.
