"Here we don't talk diseases but genetic anomalities" That is either just pure luck, or has been selected for over a long period of time. Any genetic mutation is more likely than not to be a fish hook, Tenchu loves to make this point. However, the longer there are particular selection pressures, the more likely a mutation will show up that doesn't have the side effects. With 13% being carriers argues that AIDS or something that is effected by that immunity has been around for a long time. Either that, or it was so virulent that it crashed the population to a very small number of carriers. It might not have the same symptoms, but there is some sort of mortality associated with it.
