Oh My!!

Of course the main (only?) cause of AIDS relates to HIV!!

So, the website shoudl actually say HIV and not AIDS.

Main cause of AIDS is poorly managed HIV.

Queers, Junkies and African hookers? Avoid and you will be OK - or am I completely non PC and out of touch? :confused:

According to that site, avoiding Jews is a good idea......

......... as well as strong magnetic fields.............

Yep.

Biggest source of HIV worldwide is hetero males.

Yea as I suspected...........

Still, it's fascinating to learn that AIDS can be caused by a "strong magnetic field" or an "Ivorian air strike"..........

Shared needles are a major source, even in hospitals...

Amazing. If you click on the 'full article link' it list more info. Under parent cause of death' (whatever that is supposed to mean) it lists Assassination in ways which appear natural

And who knew that a Chechen separatist was a cause.


I'm almost lost for words.... :blink:

I suspect that the website has some kind of automatic trawling of other websites, electronic papers etc.

There's a list of sources, most of which seem reputable.

So, an article that says "More people in country X have AIDS due to war " gets interpreted as "war causes AIDS", when actually it'd be the lack of healthcare availablity which means HIV is undertreated and therefore progresses to AIDS...along with increased lawlessness -> rape ->HIV->AIDS

It's currently saying that "Manuela" is a cause of AIDS, which I'm sure she'll be pleased about.

It does look as if it's just an automated list, cos under "treatment for Manuela" it comes up with "Tobacco"... :huh:

Sorry but I have several friends and family members who have contracted HIV from dirty needles back home. It's anything but a humourous topic.

I suppose it's hardly worth pointing out that the thread was merely a reference to a stupid website that, as someone pointed out, probably just trawls the web for key words.

I agree that HIV/AIDS is a serious topic, which was why I thought a website that tells us it's caused by Jews or magnetic fields was reason enough to highlight. Whether that constitutes 'humour' is I suppose a matter of opinion.

My fault probably...........

So now thanks to the wonders of the internet it has been determied that jews and strong magnetic fields are the cause of aids the most important question is do you think they cause the good aids or the bad aids?

Stop being so reactionary - again. No one was laughing about HIV/AIDS but seeing black humour in a dreadful website with bad advice.

I heard a whisper a few years back that HIV is *apparently a strange combo of a kind of leukaemia and an animal virus that *some believe could only have been spliced in a lab. Interesting scenario.


*dont quote me

Yes......... there was that American scientist a few years ago that referred to the time when AIDS was "invented..... er, I mean, discovered....".

Innocent slip of the tongue, obviously..............

Having friend and relatives who have got to the gutter and are using dirty needles is not humorous either...

I would deny knowledge of them permanently
