I saw on the teletex something about lemon juice killing off the HIV strain... Unfortunately, a strong dose, whilst killing off 90% of the strain, is thought to be toxic.

That's the biggest problem that the scientists are facing. How to kill off the strain without killing off its host. Arsenic kills off HIV...but Joe Blow dies too..kinda defeats the purpose. :nerd:

besides
That posed one of two main problems with using lemon juice as a vaginal anti-AIDS solution, sexually transmitted diseases expert Richard Hillman, of Sydney University, said.

"Putting something fairly acidic in that area can cause quite a bit of irritation," he explained

I figured that some folks would actually want their lips to pucker up a bit...Eating wouldn't be the same, though...at least not without adding a bit of sugar.
 
my level of concern
that I might get kilt by
an auto accident
heart attack
cancer

AIDS ZERO!

Yup I'd be struck by lightening sooner.

621590 that I could happily shovel dirt over, 171222 who probably got it from having associations with the above, against 23337 for whom i might actually shed a tear. Doesn't sound that terrible to me. I've worse odds of losing a child to the flu.

New cases

Best current projections suggest that an additional 45 million people worldwide will become infected with HIV in 126 low-and middle-income countries between 2002 and 2010—unless the world succeeds in mounting a drastically expanded, global prevention effort. More than 40% of the projected infections would occur in Asia and the Pacific.

Hopefully you won't get any tainted blood. The blood system still ain't perfect.

Prof - how exactly does the way this disease got into the system of the person make the AIDS pandemic any less horrible? So...they're gay? Kill all gays? Woohoo!!?!

50% of infected persons on the face of the earth are women...not gay men. Most of those aren't IV drug users or assocaited with IV drug users. They aren't sodomites, or vile...they're victims.
