Most people are unaware that AIDS is not even a disease but rather a "syndrome." The actual diseases the AIDS ridden die of are the more prosaic pneumonia, cancers etc.

Yes, but the diseases are unique to various groups. African's don't get kaposi's sarcoma neither do hemophilliacs. Hetereosexual Americans *rarely* get AIDS but hetereosexual Africans do all the time. In South Africa there is no correlation between AIDS and other STDs.

How on Earth do you get a pathogen to act like that?

My take on AIDS is that it is as much a "disease" of the spirit as the body.
