Zulus have the highest incidence of AIDS. They say condoms are a device of the white man to curtail their virility and procreative ability. You may also be interested to know that, amongst many of these people, the stated treatment for AIDS is to have sex with a virgin, preferably a very young girl. Hence the enormous incidence of rape, especially of children, in South Africa."...http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=12590963&s=aids ..."Part of the difficulty with HIV/AIDS in Southern Africa is that no education or control was instituted whatsoever. As I mentioned, the disease was "politicised" and "privatised". Now the spread of the virus is completely out of hand. Last week, someone I know was informed by a local path lab that 70% of black and 5% of white patients tested for HIV (at that lab) are positive. This is a terrifying statistic and would indicate, as you know, that the population will be decimated in the years to come."
