AIDS in Africa
“Despite the fact that AIDS was first declared and found in homosexual milieus in the USA, some ‘scientific studies’ have tried to locate the origin of AIDS in Africa. This is largely based on the false imaging of the African who is seen as somebody who cannot control him/herself sexually.”
“…This method of determining AIDS cases…leads to many abuses. Much money is spent on studying the origin of AIDS in the wrong places, but the researchers of course, are given a lot of money to make this type of research. Once more, Africans are used as objects of study and speculation. This is even more outrageous because many human and material resources are invested wrongly, instead of, for example, targeting the other immunosuppressing agents like TB, chronic malaria, malnutrition, and many other agents which have been shown to give similar symptoms to those of HIV.”
