With an AIDS vaccine still out of reach, two rigorous new studies have found different ways to sharply cut H.I.V. infections among women and schoolgirls, who make up a majority of the newly infected in sub-Saharan Africa.

After two decades in which researchers searched fruitlessly for an effective vaginal microbicide to block H.I.V., South African scientists working in two AIDS-devastated communities of South Africa, one rural and one urban, say they have finally found something that shows real promise.

    If we are talking about women in Africa, I’m sure that AIDS rate has A LOT to do with the high number of rapes that take place…

    Sharply CUT those nasty ass men out there and that might reduce half the battle….

    IF RESEARCHERS FOUND OUT THAT A V****AL GEL HELPS PREVENT THE SPREAD OF AIDS, THAT MEANS THAT THESE SCIENTISTS HAVE TO PURPOSELY GIVE THESE AFRICAN WOMEN HIV SO THAT THEY CAN SEE IF THIS GEL WORKS!!!! THEY USE PLACEBO GEL AND THE REAL GEL IN ORDER TO GET THE STATISTICS, SO HOW ELSE ARE THEY GONNA PROVE THIS GEL WORKS IF THEY AREN’T PURPOSELY GIVING THESE AFRICAN WOMEN HIV? SHAKING MY HEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    THESE AIDS STATS ARE BOGUS… TO DATE THEIR IS NO SUCH THING AS AN AIDS TEST. WHAT THEY TEST FOR IS A WEAKENED IMMUNE SYSTEM BASED ON ANTIBODIES. IN MOST PARTS OF AFRICA THERE ARE SUB PAR LIVING CONDITIONS. POOR DRINKING WATER, MALARIA ECT. EVERYONE WHO HAS SICK SYMPTOMS SUCH AS DIAREAH. t THE GOAL IS TO MAKE ALL THESE PEOPLE BELIEVE THEY HAVE THIS HORRIBLE SYNDROME & THEN GET THEM ON THEIR DANGEROUS C**KTAILS WHICH FURTHER DEPLETES THEIR SYSTEMS & SEND THEM TO THEIR GRAVES… SOME CLAIM AIDS IS THE BIGGEST HOAX IN MANKINDS HISTORY & THAT IT DOESENT EVEN EXIST & ITS THE DRUGS THAT THEY GET YOU ON THAT DEPLETES THE IMMUNE SYSTEM WHICH EVENTUALLY KILLS ITS VICTIMS. NOW IM NOT SAYING THAT I AGREE WITH THAT STATEMENT 100% & THAT AIDS DOESENT EXIST. BUT THEIR NUMBERS & METHODS OF REPORTING IT IS GROSSLY EXAGERATED!! A LITTLE KNOWN FACT MANY PREGNANT WOMEN TEST POSITIVE FOR AIDS. THATS BECAUSE THEIR IMMUNE SYSTEM IS WORKING HARDER DUE TO CARYING A BABY & EATING & PROVIDING FOR TWO. ONCE SHE DELIVERS & HER IMMUNE RETORTS BACK TO NORMAL SHE NO LONGER TESTS POSITIVE FOR IT. LIKE I MENTIONED BEFORE THEIR IS NO SUCH THING AS AN AIDS TEST. THEY CHECK FOR ANTIBODIES & A WEAKENED IMMUNE SYSTEM. ANYTHING CAN CAUSE A WEAKENED IMMUNE SYSTEM ESPECIALLY DUE TO LACK OF NUTRITION & SUB PAR LIVING CONDITIONS LIKE LIVING IN PARTS OF AFRICA. ALL I KNOW IS ACCORDING TO THESE STATS THEY SAY DAMN NEAR 43% OF ALL BLACK PEOPLE HAVE THIS VIRUS. WELL IM ALMOST 30 YEARS OLD NOW & HAVE FRIENDS THAT I KNEW FROM MIDDLE SCHOOL & MAYBE KNOW OVER A 100 ASSOCIATES. IF ANY THOSE STATS WERE TRUE THEN AT LEAST 50% OF MY FRIENDS WOULD BE DEAD OR SICK. ALL MY FRIENDS, ASSOCIATES & EVERYONE ELSE I KNOW FOR THAT MATTER ARE ALL ALIVE, HEALTHY & FULL OF LIFE & SUPPOSEDLY THE MIAMI/ FT LADERDALE AREA HAS THE HIGHEST RATES IN THE U.S. OK…..?????? SO WHERES ALL THESE DEAD & DYING PEOPLE..???? THIS VIRUS DOES KILL RIGHT..??? THERES A SIMPLE ANSWER FOR THAT… EVEN THOUGH IM NOT GOING TO SAY THAT ITS A GREAT HOAX & IT DOESENT EXIST… I WILL SAY THOSE NUMBERS ARE GROSSLY EXAGERATED & THE GOAL IS TO FRIGHTEN PEOPLE THROUGH MEDIA & PHONY STATISTICS & GET PEOPLE ON THEIR DRUGS WHICH HAS A POISEN LABEL ON THEM WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY KILL YOU.
