Less than one in a million

by Aletta Friday, Jun. 27, 2003 at 3:33 AM

Caucasian heterosexual women (even including I..V. drugs users) represent an 'AIDS' risk of only about ONE IN A MILLION or less. In California last year there were only 79 cases.

HIV Testing Among Racial/Ethnic Minorities --- United States, 1999

Of the 774,467 AIDS cases reported to CDC during June 1981--December 2000 (2), blacks and Hispanics accounted for 56% of cases, although they represented 25% of the U.S. population during this period. In 2000, the incidence of adult and adolescent AIDS cases per 100,000 population was 74.2 for blacks, 30.4 for Hispanics, and 7.9 for whites.

Of the 7.9% Caucasian cases only about 7% are said to be from heterosexual activity. (Source: - CDC)

That translates to 0.55 per 100,000 or: -

JUST ONE AIDS CASE IN EVERY 200,000 Caucasian heterosexuals.

Hardly a spectacular figure.Lightning deaths in America kill 75 to 100 people a year.

BUT WOMEN ARE ONLY A TINY PERCENTAGE OF THAT VERY SMALL FIGURE

Caucasian heterosexual women (even including I..V. drugs users) represent an 'AIDS' risk of only about ONE IN A MILLION or less. In California last year there were only 79 cases.

IN REAL TERMS A ZERO RISK!



These figures beg the question is 'AIDS' caused by an std or by poverty. Could African American and Hispanic women really be having so much more sex? A graph of 'AIDS' fits perfectly with a graph of poverty in America but in no way reflects sexual activity.

Old diseases, new name

by Paul King Friday, Jun. 27, 2003 at 6:07 AM

Really great post Aletta,

You may find this information on 'AID$' in Africa of interest.



Every epidemic disease is now renamed 'AIDS' under the Bangui Definition.

Mortalities (non natural) in S.A. remain at the same 2.2% P.A. that they were BEFORE AIDS. Either every other disease in the region vanished overnight or 'AIDS' is simply the old diseases with a new name. You decide.

-------------

In Africa, the continent supposedly being decimated by

HIV, HIV tests are rarely ever done, so there the idea

that all patients with AIDS are infected with HIV is

based entirely on supposition.

At a WHO conference in the Central African Republic in 1985, U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) introduced the "Bangui Definition" of AIDS in Africa.

The CDC officials later explained, "The definition was reached by consensus, based mostly on the delegates' experience in treating AIDS patients. It has proven a useful tool in determining the

extent of the AIDS epidemic in Africa, especially in areas where no testing is available.

It's major components were prolonged fevers (for a month or more), weight loss of 10% or greater, and prolonged diarrhea..."(McCormick, 1996). Where AIDS is diagnosed clinically, large numbers of AIDS patients test negative for HIV. As no HIV testing is required in Africa we have no idea how many AIDS cases there are HIV positive (De ####, 1991; Gilks, 1991; Widy-Wirski, 1988).

_______

Other conditions common in underprivileged and

impoverished communities that are known to cause false

positive results are tuberculosis, malaria, hepatitis and leprosy (Burke, 1993; Challakeree, 1993; Johnson, 1998; Kashala, 1994; MacKenzie,1992; Meyer, 1987). In fact, these are the primary health threats in Africa; several million cases of tuberculosis and malaria are reported in Africa each year - more than all the AIDS cases reported in Africa since 1982 (WHO, 1998)*.



Very best wishes,



Paul
