This misses the point.

It is an entirely preventable disease, unlike influenza, for which knowing that it exists should be the immunisation.

Safe sex, STD checks, blood infusion screening and avoidance of casual intravenous drugs are all that are required, and irrespective of whether or not Whites, Asians, Indians or Americans are equally, more or less susceptible every individual owes it to themselves, their partners and their families to teach and avoid the risks and so protect themselves.

@calorus

There are a number of point(s) and the biggest being the manufacturing of this killer "disease causing" agent. Another is racial targeting, i.e., knowledge about Africans being CCR5 Delta 32+ and a large percentage of whites being 32-. Just as prevention should not be ignored neither should these realities.

[calorus]

@AfriSynergy No. Focus on putting everything into ending the epidemic. If Blacks focus first and foremost on preventing the spread, and focus on supporting their industries and skills base we'll be in a position to actually promote and protect ourselves.

You can argue for centuries about why the dinosaurs died out but it will never bring them back. A virus like AIDS relies on people to spread it. And however pernicious the virus may be, it is the most easily preventable disease in the world.

@calorus

Many assumptions about HIV/AIDS are made based upon limited knowledge about it. Unfortunately, the "experts" are often the reason for this limited knowledge and even misinformation. For example, you have been taught that it is spread through blood, semen and maybe other body fluids. However, that is incomplete information. In approximately 2001, two Asian scientists accidentally created an airborne strain of the virus as they were searching for a cure. This was published but hushed.

@calorus

It is very naive to think or proclaim that HIV/AIDS is the "most easily preventable disease". I'm sure if you really think about it, you will adjust your statement because it isn't accurate.

Dinosaurs are gone, African/black people are not yet gone. Therefore, we are here to "argue" the merits of a manufactured killer. This prevents extinction.

You're right on point about focusing on industries and skills base as a means for black people to move forward in greater numbers.

[Papillonmuscogee]

Hmm..very thought provoking. You are right, behaviour is not so different amongst the races, AND, I did hear something to the effect, that blacks, or those of African descent, have less resistance to HIV, whereas whites, have greater immunity. Again, hmm.

[AfriSynergy]

US government for decades have funded military programs searching for "race-specific" type weapons. This is also why the US Senate refused to ratify the UN Genocide Treaty for a long time. They then rewrote it and then signed it. HIV/AIDS came out of Public Law 91-171 entitled "SYNTHETIC BIOLOGICAL AGENT" in 1969.

@AfriSynergy - "Democratic Deepening in Brazil, India, and South Africa: Patrick Heller, Brown University" (on YouTube (who don't allow links even to other videos, which is daft.))

Another video I was watching which made me think of you; in particular from 50:00 when it considers the responses, infection rates and the effects of HIV/AIDS in South Africa and Brazil in the 80's and since.

[calorus]

@AfriSynergy

Other than the minuscule minority of HIV/AIDS cases contracted by blood transfusions and the minority (in developed countries, at least) contracted by rape, yes, it is certainly one of the most easily preventable diseases in the world.

Can it be transmitted by skin-to-skin contact?

Can it be transmitted by aspiration or perspiration?

No.

Can it be entirely defended against by simple, instinctive preventions and behaviours?

Yes.

Condoms, drug avoidance and STD check ups. Done.

[calorus]

@Azzaiel Just remember, if that was the case, even if they infected 1,000 people, we had the power to stop its effect at that 1,000 people.
