I agree. This is a crisis. Not one of those lib fabricated ones. It's the right thing to do and make sure the money is used for what it is meant to be used for. Beats wasting money in the fed trash heap.

Great, why don't you two kick in for my share if it's such a great idea.

I hate pouring my money down a rathole.

Sorry to have you see this, 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.

You're quite naive if you think this money will make any significant difference.

Tell me, what do you consider to be an acceptable return on a $15 billion dollar investment. Elimination of AIDS in Africa completely? Reduction by 80%? What? Be specific.

...and make sure the money is used for what it is meant to be used for.

There's the rub. How do you propose we do that?

Sorry, but I have to agree with Old Fud - it's easy to be compassionate on my nickel. It takes a lot more intestinal fortitude to tell immoral jag-offs to keep it in their pants or they're going to rot in jail, and then back it up with the $$ to enforce the law.
