WHO: There is no AIDS Pandemic
« on: June 10, 2008, 04:26:01 pm »
From the Times of India:

NEW DELHI: A quarter of a century after AIDS first appeared, the World Health Organisation has for the first time said the threat of a global heterosexual pandemic outside Africa might have passed.

According to Dr Kevin de Cock, one of the world's leading epidemiologists and head of the organisation's HIV/ AIDS department, there has been a shift in the understanding of the risks posed by the virus.

HIV was earlier regarded as a risk to populations everywhere, irrespective of the percentages that practised unsafe sexual behaviour. But experts now believe that outside of sub-Saharan Africa, the disease is largely confined to high-risk groups like men having sex with men, sex workers and their clients.

Dammit. Asshatted.

I shall report to millinery without delay. What say you Philodendron? Something with a broad floppy brim and a feather at a jaunty angle?

In my defence I still got to quote the Time of India as a source. That's gotta be a first.

I was actually shaken that you committed so grievous a forum sin -- quite unlike you frankly.

There's a funnier element to the whole thing to, which I'm sure didn't escape you.

LOL...fear not Matty you have come up with (apart from this thread) more "firsts" than anyone I know... ;)

So tell me, the De-Stig campaign I was just involved with, which by the way was all about "Look beyond the sterotype" was all for nothing then?...~sigh~
