I have done some work in Tanzania, Zambia and Sierra Leone which all have pretty high HIV/AIDS rates. And in some of the villages we worked in we were having problems because some of the male leaders would say something about how condoms were "evil" and that they needed to be boiled before use. Which means they no longer do their jobs. In one of these villages in particular we had made progress convincing them that was just a bunch of malarky.
Then some other volunteers passing through came and said that HIV really doesn't cause AIDS and that AIDS is not the result of an STD. So the people stopped using the condoms we provided. They said they did ths because they were stopping us from spending unnecesary money for a made up disease.

Honestly from what I have read of the study, the groups findings seem to me to be greatly over stated.
There were two groups of 8000 participents in each group, one was given the drug and one wasn't.
In the control group 74 people became infected with the virus compared to 51 who took the drug.
Now statistically that seems to me to hardly give overwelming scientific conformation that the drug is effective. Maybe with more tests the numbers may be able to be repeatable, 74 to 51 is not going to change anybodies lives anytime soon

there are experts who have made statements that AIDS was a biologically engineered disease.

It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if pharmaceutical companies were behind hiv / aids in the first place. I'm serious. And I'm not a conspiracy theorist either.
Sorry about your loss sexynsweet.

I agree. It's not profitable to find a cure for either HIV or cancer. Think of the billions made off the people that have either one of them.
When you see the amounts of money put out for pills etc. to keep you going, you can see why they don't want to lose that revenue.

My mom died from AIDS. Enough said. I want a fucking cure, for not only that, but Cancer too. I have lost a few family members from that too. Innocent people die everyday from either or disease. The time to do something about it has way been passed. I hope they find something out there that can cure these diseases. NOBODY CHOOSES TO DIE LIKE THIS!!
