I thought AZT was developed after the earlier cases of AIDS. Like towards the late eighties. Am I mistaken??

If I remember correctly AZT was a drug looking for a disease.

Another thing to note is that in Africa they do not test for the virus (you're lucky if you get a cleaned needle at the doctor's, you've just won the lottery if you get a new one), if you have one of a list of diseases you are diagnosed with AIDS. I don't know one way or the other but I'm smart enough to become suspicious of dogma when it's proponents react so viruently to questions.
