religious nuts make me sick; they spread so much hate

We all have our opinions, and I try to respect each and every one of them. I certainly believe AIDS/HIV was a biological experiment, concocted in some Government laboratory, by some league of twisted scientists attempting to design some form of genetic weaponry that would have the ability to wipe out legions of whomever they designated was "The Enemy". And that as this project approached completion, they needed "lab rats/guinea pigs" to test it's effectiveness out on. So they chose a group that THEY figured the world would be better off without anyway. And there went The Days of Disco, and all things creative!

But things got out of control, as The Evil Geniuses never anticipated that so many of the WORTHY one's were tipping over & getting’ freaky on The Down Low, in assumed undercover mode. But it was too late to fix after the fact, the Monster was already out the box, out of control, and running shit on it’s own, on it’s own terms.

Either way you wrap it, that little virus has certainly caused a whole Hell of a lot of grief in 25 years, and has put a serious damper on the party!

I don’t believe the HIV virus developed itself naturally and just randomly chose 1979 as the point in time it would rear it’s ugly head; it required assistance and refinement. But that's just my little "o".

completely agree. My aunt was told by a deacon that her faith is weak because she has a crippling neo muscular disease.

what?

wow what a caring person

FUCK HIM. Piece of shit

She is SO the female version of Prince.

Right down to the constant religion talk.

I so disagree! Vanity may have been the female version of Prince years ago, but Denise isn't now! While Prince talks the religion talk, Denise actually lives it! Denise has changed her life completely since the Vanity days, while although talking the religion talk, Prince is the same old Prince, doing and living the same lifestyle he's always lived.....big difference!

I agree with your statement somewhat.

I have heard a scenario that seems more likely:

Aids developed from a vaccination attempt gone awry.

In the 70's the scientists were looking for a vaccination for herpes. There was purportedly a certain strain of herpes common in the gay community that was targeted for experimental purposes. At times vaccinations are grown in a medium that is made from monkey species tissue... it seems these mediums made of monkey tissue grows faster therefore the turn around time for experiments is faster. This time, the monkey tissue contain the HIV virus... perfectly harmless to the monkey, but deadly to humans. The test vaccination was given to gay test subjects.. one of them happened to be an flight attendant who became "patient zero"...

I read this scenario in the early 90's. It seems to be the one most plausible to me.
No plot, no conspiracy... just a dumb mistake. Happens every day... look at the doctor that operated on the wrong side of patient's brain.

While AIDS may be one of the most feared diseases of modern times, there is still a degree of scientific debate over the subject of just how the disease originated, and how the first cases spread. Two filmmakers explore a controversial theory about the beginnings of the disease. In the 1950s, American and Belgian missionaries in the Belgian colonies of the Congo widely distributed polio vaccine to a million children in a bid to wipe out the crippling disease; however, evidence now suggests that Dr. Koprowski's oral vaccine may have been tainted, and that the first instances of the disease may be linked to these inoculations. Using interviews, newsreel footage, and documented research experiments, "The Origin of AIDS" examines how a combination of benevolence, careless lab procedures, and the need of a desperate few to cover their tracks could have led to one of the most serious pandemics of the 20th century.

The film makes a special point to mention how this theory has been shunned by the scientific community and those associated with Dr. Kapowski. Nevertheless the testimony from nurses who worked for the doctor is quite damning.
