AIDS can be cured!!!

[LucidDreamer]

It simply isn't physically possible for Africans to be so much more sexually promiscuous than Europeans that they contract it by the millions while Europeans contract it in much smaller numbers.

There are several reasons why the Africans are being hit so hard:

1) Cultural Reasons

The Africans are very sexual promiscuous and its not uncommon for husbands to cheat on their wives dozens of times. It's considered very manly to sleep with as many woman as possible. The women comply because they depend on the men for survival and they are often threatened with violence. It is also considered insulting to ask a man to wear a condom.

 

2) Medical care and poverty:

The Africans are quite poor and often don't have access to a steady supply of condoms or other forms of birth control that might help prevent the spread of HIV.

 

Women who have HIV in the western countries are given anti-HIV medication before they give birth, which significantly increases the chance that the babies will be born without HIV. Until very recently, very few women in the poor parts of Africa were given these drugs and many children were born with HIV.

 

In the mid 90's the AIDS cocktail was created. This cocktail contains 3 different forms of HIV medication that reduces the viral load in infected individuals to almost nothing if it is started early. While the normal course of the HIV/AIDS infection is to develop AIDS in a timeframe of about 10 years, very few of the individuals that started taking these medications early in the development have any AIDS symptoms and their viral loads are still small. The Africans don't have access to these medications so almost all of the HIV infected individuals are developing AIDS and dying.

 

3) Education:

It may sound strange to us in the western countries, but most Sub-Saharan Africans only have a vague notion of what AIDS/HIV is. A lot of them know that there is a disease that you can contract and one of the methods is through sexual contact, but they often don't know that it’s a virus or what a virus is. They often don't know of all the ways that it can be contracted and the ways that it cannot be contracted. They have many superstitions about how to get HIV. Many are not aware that a condom is an effective means to prevent it or that you can pass the disease to your child.

 

Many Africans deny that AIDS is any concern of theirs. They do not accept that their sexual promiscuity has any bearing on getting the disease. Testing is often not as readily available either. People that have the disease will spread the disease to countless others before they ever find out. A lot will not be aware that they even have HIV until they start developing symptoms of AIDS.

 

4) Africa is the Epicenter for the disease. The disease started in Africa and spread throughout before the western world was even aware of it. It had already made a strong foothold in Africa before western medicine figured out what was going on. While countries like the United States only have one form of the virus the is common the Africans have like 6 different versions that are common. In fact, they have another form of AIDS that develops from an HIV2 virus that was introduced into the human population from the sooty mangabee monkey.

 

Is it really so surprising that a virus-born disease is devastating third world countries while the western world has got it more under control with modern medicine, education, and technology? How many people in poorer countries died until the western world got around to giving them the polio and small pox vaccinations? How many people died of infection until they received antibiotics?

They do however drink each other's body wastes' date=' which get into their water supplies. They suffer from the diseases of poverty and non-existent sanitation.[/quote']

The main problem with this statement is that it does not account for the amount of people who are HIV+ in Africa. The correlation between the people suffering from AIDS and the HIV virus is unmistakable.

Also, the symptoms of diseases like dysentery or malaria are not at all similar to AIDS. Africa may be poor but I think the African doctors are smart enough to recognize the difference.

African people do not hump each other all the time like "jungle bunnies" and the AIDS cocktail is murder.

::psst:: kirby, chemo is to, but not many people seem to be dying of it

 

and actually if you researched africa at all you would find that africans (sub-saharran mostly) are vastly more promiscuous than westerners. Many sub-saharran cultures did not have anything that even resembled marriage until christianity was forced upon them by missionaries
