The thing about 'AIDS science' is that the closer you look at the details, the more they disappear. Remember that back in the 1980s, it was predicted that there would be a massive heterosexual epidemic of hiv - never materialized. The Rakai District of Uganda was the 'global epicenter' of AIDS - Rakai now has a higher population than it had 10 and 20 years ago. Population growth never dipped below 3% per year.
The tests don't work in Africa - that is the bottom line. They are not specific enough, and give false positives when someone has antibodies to malaria, leprosy, a woman has been pregnant before, etc.
That is why surveys that rely on pregnant women (antenatal clinic surveys) always project these massive national infection rates.
UNAIDS has known this for years, but they kept using that data until 2 years ago, and for some localities, they still do.
According to the US Census Bureau, the population of South Africa was supposed to be 43.9 million, taking AIDS mortalities into account. Without AIDS, it would have been 49.3 million
Last year the national statistics office, StatsSA, put the population in 48.5 million.
That means there is no epidemic. Which is not surprising, because there is none in Europe, in America, or anywhere else, 'except' Southern Africa. You see, the epidemics in Uganda, Kenya, the DRC have magically disappeared.
That's because they have a high birth rate. Don't be so ignorant!!! The number of aids victims on this continent is high...any resource will tell you that!!!!
There is no African AIDS, just the African AIDS Hoax.
Check out population growth numbers. No region in Africa has been depopulated. No country, district or city in Africa saw a decline in population, EVER.
