The African heterosexual AIDS myth |
The African heterosexual AIDS myth
Michael Fumento
Ninety-nine percent of AIDS and HIV cases in Africa come from sexual
transmission, virtually all heterosexual. So says the World Health
Organization, with other agencies toeing the line. Massive condom
airdrops accompanied by a persuasive propaganda campaign would
practically make the epidemic vanish overnight. Or would it?
A determined renegade group of three scientists has fought for years
- with little success - to get out the message that no more than a
third of HIV transmission in Africa is from sexual intercourse and most
of that is anal. By ignoring the real vectors, they say, we're
sacrificing literally millions of people.
These men are no crackpots. John Potterat is author of 140 scholarly
publications. He began working for the El Paso County, Colorado health
department in 1972 and initiated the first U.S. partner-tracing program
for AIDS/HIV.
Stuart Brody, soon to become a full professor in Psychology at
University of Paisley in Scotland, has published over 100 scholarly
publications, including a book called "Sex at Risk." Economist and
anthropologist David Gisselquist has almost 60 scholarly publications
and is currently advising the government of India on staunching its
potentially explosive AIDS epidemic.
These renegades note that one indicator the role of vaginal
transmission is overplayed in Africa is that it hasn't played much of
one in the U.S. Here 12 percent of AIDS cases are "attributed to"
heterosexual transmission, meaning victims claimed to have gotten it
that way. Of these, over a third are males.
Yet San Francisco epidemiologist Nancy Padian evaluated 72 male
partners of HIV-infected women over several years, during which time
only one man became infected. Even in that case, there were "several
instances of vaginal and penile bleeding during intercourse." So even
the small U.S. heterosexual figure appears grossly exaggerated.
The chief reason it's so hard to spread HIV vaginally is that, as
biopsies of vaginal and cervical tissue show, the virus is unable to
penetrate or infect healthy vaginal or cervical tissue. Various
sexually transmitted diseases facilitate vaginal HIV infection, but
even those appear to increase the risk only slightly.
So if vaginal intercourse can't explain the awful African epidemic,
what can? Surely it's not homosexuality, since we've been told
there is none in Africa. In fact, the practice has long been
widespread.
For example, German anthropologist Kurt Falk reported in the 1920s that
bisexuality was almost universal among the male populations of African
tribes he studied. Medical records also show that African men who
insist they're straighter than the proverbial arrow often suffer
transmissible anorectal diseases.
Yet almost certainly greater - and more controllable - contributors
to the African epidemic are "contaminated punctures from such sources
as medical injections, dental injections, surgical procedures, drawing
as well as injecting blood, and rehydration through IV tubes," says
Brody.
There are many indicators that punctures play a huge role in the spread
of African HIV/AIDS. For example, during the 1990s HIV increased
dramatically in Zimbabwe, even as condom use increased and sexually
transmitted infections rapidly fell.
Or consider that in a review of nine African studies, HIV prevalence in
inpatient children ranged from 8.2% to 63% - as many as three times
the prevalence in women who'd given birth. If the kids didn't get
the virus from their mothers, whence its origin?
Good people differ on exactly how much of the HIV in Africa is spread
vaginally - including our three renegades themselves. Nevertheless,
their findings readily belie the official figures. AIDS studies in
Africa, Potterat says, are "First World researchers doing second rate
science in Third World countries."
There's no one reason for the mass deception. In part, once a
paradigm has been established it becomes much easier to justify than
challenge. "Only a handful [of researchers] are even looking at
routes other than sex," notes Potterat. He also observes that grant
donors seem only interested in the sex angle. "Sex is sexy," he
says.
Brody also points out that for scientists to concede they were wrong
would be "to admit they're complicit in mass death. That's hard
to admit that to yourself, much less to other people."
True enough. But for the sake of millions in Africa and other
underdeveloped areas threatened by massive new infections, we'd
better admit it now.

No, because if we allowed them to live, they all want to come and live here
in England.
Much better to have mass murder, than admit your economic and biological
war against the USSR has gone a little bit too far.

Not one of these people is a medical doctor, biologist, or
epidemiologist.
So why don't we listen to the people who actually study the disease
for the facts?

You dry fucking canuks don't know any other kind. You couldn't
sexually excite a woman if your life depended on it. Now, men on men
sex, you really know how to get that on. I hear that your government
even sponsors tournaments for male homos to demonstrate their wares.
The first prize being permission to destroy by fire a christain church

I have read the very opposite. The reason given was there were no
inhibitions on heterosexual child sex play.

The spread of AIDS follows both in geography and time an inoculation
campaign that used unsterile needles. The vaccine itself may even have
been contaminated and possibly deliberately.
