Kerry, I asked my beloved Google, and of course It knows what's going on.

Pick your country to check here: hivinsite.ucsf.edu

I had a click around and AIDS is dying out! Well, not quite, but it's no big deal. In any of the non-African countries I checked, though Thailand and Cambodia at 1% infection rate are quite bleak. Russia has 0.5%, which is a lot of people [700,000]. Haiti has 3%.

AIDS depends on anal sex, blood transfusions, women and mothers getting infected from bisexual guys, needle swapping and I suppose a few other ways [skin lesions in heterosexual sex in promiscuous Africa apparently being a major way]. I wonder whether biting insects don't do it! I've never believed they don't. Especially regurgitating insects.

In most countries, sufficient vectors have been removed that it's hard to keep it going. If infected people were dying, then the disease would be on its way out in a big hurry.
