I'm afriad that it's a myth that Uganda is winning the war against AIDS. It's as bad as ever there. It has been proven that UNAIDS and UNICEF have doctored the figures to try to make Uganda a showcase because the East African country has so closely followed UN advice and three-pronged strategy of Abstinence, faithfulness and contraception. Condoms are more easily available in Uganda than anywhere else in Africa and are also distributed to children in schools. Shocked staff at UNICEF battling AIDS in Uganda have told me that these figures are completely untrue. There was also a very good examination of this in the British medical journal The Lancet which scrutinized the figures and showed them to be false.

Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson has launched a review of all research linking AIDS and medical injections, possibly laying the groundwork for changes in how the legislation's $15 billion in funding is distributed. Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., a member of the Senate's health panel, requested the review after he turned up a WHO report listing four separate studies that find dirty needles responsible for 8, 15, 41 and 45 percent of exposures in sub-Saharan Africa. The report, dated Dec. 19, 2002, concludes that "the lowest attributable fraction calculated on the basis of the data provided by the authors (8 percent) exceeds our 2.5 percent modeled attributable fraction, suggesting that our estimate is conservative."

From this story in the Monterey Herald.

Why should we support a continent of drug addicts. These people have no desire to survive nor do they fear the consequences of having AIDS infected children. After almost a decade of "education" they still don't care. Why should we?

I have read several different stories on how AIDs is calculated. They come up with the highest numbers possible to get more money.

Not only that, but:

The World Health Organisation published the following definition of AIDS that was exclusively applicable to developing countries. (3)

Tabel 1: WHO AIDS Definition (1986) for adults in developing countries (3): Major signs: - weight loss 10% - chronic diarrhoea 1 month - fever 1 month (intermittent or constant) Minor signs: - cough for > 1 month - generalized itching - recurrent herpes zoster - oro-pharyngeal candidiasis - chronic progressive and disseminated herpes simplex infection - generalized lymphadenopathy

Exclusion criteria: - cancer - severe malnutrition - other recognized causes

AIDS is defined by the existance of: - at least 2 major signs and - at least 1 minor sign and - in absence of any exclusion criteria or - in a patient with generalized Kaposi's sarcoma or - in a patient with cryptococcal meningitis

Under this, someone is declared to be suffering from AIDS if they have had, for example, diarrhoea for more than a month, pronounced weight loss and coughing or general itching and no other cause can be ascertained with available means. On this definition an HIV test is expressly not necessary, and shortage of funds means that one is still only rarely carried out today. And on the Ugandan health ministry's registration form for people with AIDS the possibility of an HIV test is not even mentioned. This means that AIDS, the illness that in the words of Professor Luc Montagnier, the man who discovered HIV, "has no typical symptoms", is being diagnosed in developing countries exclusively on the basis of symptoms. (7) The symptoms called for are not exactly rare in a country with twenty years of systematic destruction behind it. So it is not really surprising that, as a result, Uganda has been declared as the country with the highest AIDS rate.

This is from: Here.

Note that no blood test is required by the WHO to diagnose someone as having aids. There is all kinds of info available suggesting that a high percentage of people diagnosed with aids have malaria. It's all about money. How much can they scam from us.

Also, I might be wrong about the previous post. Upon further investigation I find that most of the needles in the previous article are about medicinal injections and the lack of education among health care givers in Africa. It doesn't make that clear in the Monterey Herald article. I just assumed that negligent use of needle was due to drug use.
