Listening to her I couldn't help but thinking, beautifully said but, don't we all know this by now? Making AIDS a part of the sex education in school, come on, I'm 31 and of course I learned about it in school. But reading these comments I realize what she is really talking about.

Why would this disease be a lie of the pharma industry if they keep on refusing to help those 95% of people who are infected but can't afford expensive treatments??? Please explain.

It is long over due that as a species we all wake up, come together and put aside politics and religion to claim our right to a quality of life that is dignified and equal.

For those who wish to continue resisting the unity...please silently leave the planet

there also more profit in not curing hiv/aids a captive market reliant on a constant requirement of treatment ,the same as promoting state sponsored terror by people who profit from such things ,

HIV/AIDS is the best thing to happen to wealthy WHITE people. It kills POOR minorities. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as CHRISTIAN COMPASSION, so it kills better than if they put poor minorities against a wall and shot them. A prayer ANSWERED!

The only way you'll stop the spread of HIV in Africa , is if you put a gun to they're head and tell them to put a condom on ! We have spent millions trying to educate them of the danger yet they still persist without protection , having a life expectancy of mid thirties obviously means they're not too worried about there future . And with the future they have , who can blame them ?

There is no proof of viruses, also no proof for other virus deseases. Aids is so a big lie for the big pharma buisness.
