That was the tune of the 80's. Been there, done that. Bought the t-shirt, never use it. It fostered a "non-fu**ing generation" in Europe, but not much more.

Africa would be down to half it's population by now if you believed the prophets in the 80's. Any indication those prophets were right then? Why should they be right now?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Novus', ' ')It is unfortunate there are some things we are not allowed to say in the Western world. The other truth we are not allowed to say reguarding HIV is that circumcision hugely reduces the transmition of HIV.

New report raises U.S. AIDS rate 40 percent
Government agency says better measuring methods led to fresh estimate link

Wow. 40 percent more! I can't wait for the government report that says because of better measuring techniques, the world's oil supply is 40 percent less. Not a report we would ever see.

The major impact of PO on AIDS will take a form of making advanced treatments not affordable even in first world, so turnover will be faster than now.

On the top of it prevalence of activities like prostitution will increase (and prostitutes may be cheaper than a condom...), so it is reasonable to assume that infection rates will grow.

It is reasonable to assume that AIDS will be as prevalent in first world as it is now in sub-Saharan Africa.

It is likely that few nations facing such situation may decide to subject their HIV/AIDS patients to lifelong quaranteen, as it was done for some time in Cuba.
Compulsory testing say once a year may be introduced in such countries.

The best way to eliminate AIDS is prevent infection.
I think people should really get their partners checked out before having sexual relations. Sadly there isn't a whole lot of progression on the issue. I think most governments ignore it because it 'gets rid of the "tainted" population' if you know what I mean. Its horrible but most likely true.

Any other fatal infectious disease gets quarantined. And then OMG it stops spreading.

<sarcasm on>
That kind of improvement in measuring is nothing! Due to better awareness, the autism rate is 6000% more than it was 20 years ago! And we are getting better at measuring it all the time! We are twice as good at measuring it in 6 year olds as in 14 year olds!
<sarcasm off>

Provide enough (healthy) food and you can lower the rate of infections by dimensions.
A decisive fact is to compare the countries with high infection rate together with the countries with the greatest percentage of people living with hunger.
Do people who have only little to eat only always think about getting the next date?
Why has getting AIDS something to do you with the kind of sex you pratice (first AIDS patients were gay men in the San Francisco area - the sauna disease)? What about dominatrixes?


A simple test for scepticer: Try to convince a very good friend who is medical doctor to let analyze his blood at three different laboratorys (best: very wide spread). Three probes of his blood with three different stories:
1. The doctor himself believes he has infected himself by silly chance somewhere.
2. A patient, best with a academic degree, believes he has infected himself by a silly chance somewhere.
3. A poor patient, with relation to alcohol and drugs, fears he has infected himself in a ugly call-house.

Be suprised about the reactions of the laboratorys.

Isn't it funny that in Africa you only needs three symptoms (e.g. cough, fever and swollen lymphatic glands) to be declared as an AIDS patient (search for "Bangui Definition"), and most often it is used for poor people with poor education. In Australia (if i remember correctly) you need at least five symptoms to be viewed as a possible AIDS patient.

The Bangui Definition (Diagnosis by appearance of certain symptoms) was introduced because of the "costs" of wide spread AIDS tests.

Try to imagine how many AIDS patients we would have in the western countries with such a method.

There was no wide spread academic discussion among the medical researchers all over the world about the Diagnosis of AIDS. The only correct diagnosis was declared by a representative of the CDC (i think). No further discussion.
Who declared the correct type of the SARS virus, though there was a proposal of chinese researchers? The CDC.

SARS was a unknown, highly infective virus. It was cured within several months (vaccine was produced) by combined work of scientists all over the world. How many decades and how many billions of dollars were invested till now to research AIDS?
And the result?

[Specop_007]

Imagine that...


Yearly estimates allow better recognition of trends in the U.S. epidemic. For example, the new report found that infections are falling among heterosexuals and injection drug users.

Some experts celebrated that finding, saying it’s a tribute to prevention efforts, including nearly 200 syringe exchange programs now operating in 36 states despite a federal ban on funding for such projects.

But they also lamented the CDC’s finding that infections continue to increase in gay and bisexual men, who accounted for more than half of HIV infections in 2006. Also, more than a third of those with HIV are younger than 30.

[Starvid]

One interesting thing is that the prevalanence of AIDS/HIV in the US is far from uniform over the entire population. If you for example just look at the black population as if it was a separate country you'd see higher rater of infection than in a number of subsaharan African countries.

I have to correct myself: It wasn't the CDC who declared HIV as the cause of AIDS. It was the health minister on a press conference on April 23rd 1984 in Washington D.C. She declared researchers of the NIH as the winners of the race in finding the virus that causes AIDS. Till that point the abuse of drugs was considered to be the most probable cause for this disease(s). Over night this assumption was history, but not as a result of a scientific discussion.

A few years ago i saw a documentary in a state channel about a medicin scandal in New York:
A black mother with diagnosis AIDS died and had a small boy, who was nursed by his grand mother, with not too much money.

This child, diagnosed with AIDS too, at some time had to take AIDS drugs. But soon the condition of the child got worse. The grand mother had the suspect that the drugs were the cause and she stopped the therapy. So the condition of the child got better. Somehow the doctors got notice that the therapy was stopped and they informed the youth welfare office. They told the grand mother that the child would be taken away from here if she didn't continue with the therapy.
Some time later the grand mother stopped the therapy again and the child was transferred by the "Agency for Child Services" (ACS) to a house called the "Incarnation Children’s Center" (ICC). There are living a lot of children with the same story or orphans.
It is (now was because of the scandal) nothing else but a very cheap drug testing centre where children are guinea pigs.
The whole story you can read here ( Beware there are shocking pictures of children!):

The house that AIDS built

There is/was a drug called AZT ( Azidothymidine). On the surface of the drug container is the symbol of a skull with crossed bones and to the left you can read in tiny letters:
