As an answer to: Does HIV cause AIDS? written by chImp at 03 Jun 2003 01:09:56:

Here's what I understood from the articles:

* AIDS was discovered 19 years ago. To this day we don't have a clue exactly HOW HIV kills T-cells.
* All veneorogical deseases are evenly distributed amongst males and females. Not AIDS, in Europe/USA it's 90% males.
* It takes 1000 (unprotected) intercourses with an HIV person to get it
* The most natural way of tranmitting HIV is from mother to children. All other such viruses are harmless (the baby dies ----> the virus dies)
* In HIV/AIDS patients, at most 1/1000 of T-cells are infected with HIV.
