Looks like this stuff isn't going away.

The AIDS virus is kind of wimpy was far as viruses go. The conditions must be just right before the virus will tranfer to a new host. Most babies born to HIV infected mothers do not carry the virus.

You really got to tear a new @sshole to infect a person with this virus.

The leaders in Africa denied their was an aids problem in their countries. They still do, yet the do-gooders in our country want to spend our people and money to "help" them. They are dying by the millions and still manage to reproduce at an exponential rate.
And yes, the aids virus is pretty wimpy. Lucky for me, I work in a lab.

It was said on the news that the younger men are not familiar with the aids crisis years back and are not practicing safe sex and that's why there is a resurgence.

I've seen some of the towns/villages in Africa with aids. It's disgusting, these men are dropping dead right in the streets. They go to prostitutes, and then bring the disease home to their wives.

Africa is a world tragedy.
The good old US of A and the drug companies ignore and try to profit from it.

Young gay men did not personally experience the horrendous die-off of their predecessors in late 80's and 90's.
You don't fear what you don't know.

The same holds true for those who use the needle, but not to the same extent as those people who contract the disease through sexual contact.

A needle is less associated with eroticism and perhaps easier to isolate from pure physical contact and comfort.

What a sad thing to hear.
We will again lose too many talented young people.

What happened to the epidemic?
Aids in America does not get the same attention it did the the 90's. This disease was touted as the next epidemic is suburban America.

Cases of Aids among non-IV drug using heterosexuals in America seem almost non-existent in America. I don't know any non-drug using heterosexual's who have Aids.

Were we lied to by the Pro-homosexual left?

This was a rather interesting read about AIDS and the mining industry.

It's 5 pages long Nigal. I guess you missed the part about the hookers and sex slaves.

They provided them with sex slaves or they made them into sex slaves? If it's the first then they have no one to blame but themselves. Keep it in your pants and stay healthy. :)

Nigal they can't blame themselves. It is our fault they have AIDS.
