By the way, do we all agree on that one(by the accepted theory)? Because I recall someone saying that AIDS is NOT a gay desease.
>>* All veneorogical deseases are evenly distributed amongst males and females. Not AIDS, in Europe/USA it's 90% males.
>No longer true as other modea, such as IV drug abuse, became more prevalent modes of transmission, although it remains in the US/Europe a majority male disease. But that's in the nature of the transmission of the disease - it has to get under the skin, to the lymph or blood. The others do not. So the anal sex more commonly practiced by gays and which tends to cause fissures had been the predominant mode of transmission.Speculations. I don't know what prostitution rates are in Sub-Sahara vs Western countries. Could somebody look that up?
Dr.Duesberg specifically emphasized the difference between AIDS in USA/Europe and AIDS in Africa. Let's concentrate about the West for a start. And let's face something: people have sex in the West as well, not just in Africa (lots and lots of promiscuity and prostitutes here as well)! The prediction was that AIDS would explode into the general population. It did not! Isn't that an indication that something is wrong with the theory, when it does NOT produce correct results?
>...particularly where use of prostitutes is very common (sub Saharan Africa for both conditions - the latter causing the former condition) have much more balanced rates. But so what - this does not mean that HIV does not cause AIDS, but only that whatever does cause it cannot survive outside the blood or lymph - it's not relevant to the identity of the infection or whether it is an infection.
