					<description><![CDATA[Its only in the std catagory because scientists developed it that way! But it can be aquired (get infected) in other ways besides sex, which tells me its not just a sexually transmitted disease, HIV itself is a very smart disease, yes i said smart! HIV thinks, it grows and adapts to its environment. It mutates over a million times a second to counter attack red blood cells like an army counter attacks its enemy! It screams military just in its characteristics, its too smart of a disease to have not been created by man. So everyone affected by HIV is and always has been a victim of government manipulation and control!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[AIDS and HIV are nobody&#039;s fault. Governments do what they can but lets face it, it&#039;s all down to the human race. No matter how many policies and initiatives a government puts out there.



People seem to be forgetting in this the numbers of infected people from mother to child groups, IV drug users with second hand needles, needle stick injury and rape/sexual assaults.



MSM is not the ONLY transmission route!





Reply to Terrance: Unfortunately for your argument, i can sit and type here that HIV/AIDS is fact. AIDS is basically the terminal stage of HIV infection. The cells that HIV attacks in the blood are the CD4 T helper lymphocytes. These are white blood cells that protect the immune system from attack. HIV effectively kills these cells meaning that the person becomes immuno-suppressed. This is the point of AIDS. When the CD4 count drops below 200 per cubic millilitre (bearing in mind it should be between 600 and 1200) the person is diagnoses as having acquired immune deficiency syndrome because he is DEFICIENT IN IMMUNE SYSTEM CELLS!



Thanks]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;Yeah, I’m getting pretty tired of the victim mentality of AIDS carriers and their groups.&lt;/blockquote&gt;



Mary,



I agree.  I also think the only victims are  innocent children and the unknowing spouses who trusts their husband.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[You can&#039;t sit there and say that hiv/aids is a fact. It is as of yet a still unproven theory as to the cause of aids. There are other theories such as the chemical/aids theory which states that repeated drug use, the medicines they give you, and malnutrition are the cause of aids. You&#039;re still treating the hiv/aids theory as a proven fact.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I am amazed at how willing a person is to put themselves at risk for hiv/aids.  Let&#039;s see, I do not engage in any risky behavior and lo and behold do not have any std&#039;s or for those who think otherwise - I do not have hiv nor aids.   Hmmmm.  Seems like even if all the scientific evidence is not in that some things would hold water like - say being gay and sharing bodily fluids increases your risk for contracting hiv/aids (no matter the odds!)  That being a hemopheliac or coming into contact with blood that has tested positive for HIV (and now that person has aids) is pretty convincing to me.



Conspiracy theories,  hidden agendas and unprotected  (or broken condom) gay anal sex are on two different levels.  One you cannot prove - the other is a pretty sure fire way to get sick - no matter what you call it, or what the odds, or who started it.  I don&#039;t care and neither should anyone else.  We have the knowledge to stop HIV/AIDS today.  And yet, someone believes that it is not their problem or their concern and that the odds are in their favor - so go ahead an do what you want to do with whomever (you don&#039;t need to tell anyone you have tested postive for HIV because of the odds and the conspiracy theories)   and you have taken a huge step towards helping others (socially.)  Yeah, I&#039;m getting pretty tired of the victim mentality of AIDS carriers and their groups.]]></description>
