AIDS vaccine

Well HIV most definitely has it's origin in Africa

Most people place european colonization as the start point for cross-species jump....the first cases relatable to AIDS date back to 1930s, mainly out of people who had been in contact with monkey blood somehow or so it was theorized..bur then, why the locals hadn't been showing similar sindromes yet? I mean there have been humans in Africa since the dawn of time and SIV is a ye old virus

I agree the lack of recorded documents in Africa may have damn well left out AIDS cases before, but the velocity with which is has spread since the 80s, a velocity not documented in 20th century Africa definitely is in indicator that the cross-species jump was a rather recent one.

FACT, SIV is an African virus...know to be infecting some 40 something species of non-hominid primate African species since 20.000 or mor years, hence, HIV cannot possibly have originated anywhere else..

you can fight me all you want about about the time it crossed species but not about the source...

FACT...Agreed protection always,but HIV is not just an STD thing..mothers transmite it to children (specially true in African countries with heavy poverty issues) and blood transmission is still an issue

FACT....just go get some man meat already...:biggrin:

The one thing you have to consider.....and this is THE BIGGIE.....

MUTATION

Viruses mutate. This is why they cannot develop a treatment for the Asian Bird Flu, it keeps mutating when they try and use it on the virus in lab tests.

So, you never know what will or will not work.
