			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you remember those well-meaning please that <a href="http://acw-stigma.blogspot.com/2007/05/hiv-does-not-discriminate-so-why-should.html">HIV does not discriminate</a>, that AIDS is not racist, and so on.</p>
<p>I wonder how many people untruths like that killed</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://health.usnews.com/articles/health/healthday/2008/07/16/genetic-trait-boosts-aids-risks-in-blacks.html">Genetic Trait Boosts AIDS Risks in Blacks &#8211; US News and World Report</a><br />
WEDNESDAY, July 16 (HealthDay News) &#8212; New research suggests that people of African descent are much more likely to have a genetic trait that makes them more susceptible to infection with the HIV virus.</p>
<p><b>Scientists estimate that the trait &#8212; which also provides protection against a form of malaria &#8212; might account for 11 percent of the HIV cases in Africa, the continent hardest hit by the AIDS epidemic.</b></p>
<p>Overall, the finding shows how the past history of evolution and disease still affects people today, said study co-author Matthew J. Dolan, of the Wilford Hall United States Air Force Medical Center and San Antonio Military Medical Center. &#8220;The benefit that the Africans got from a mutation that gave them some resistance to malaria has, statistically at least, rendered them some increased susceptibility to HIV,&#8221; he said.</p></blockquote>
<p>The attack by on scientists by ideologues is old.  From <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trofim_Lysenko">Trofim Lysenko</a> to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewontin%27s_Fallacy">Richard Lewontin</a> to many AIDS and education activists, the only acceptable scientific knowledge is what they wish it to be.</p>
<p>Too bad.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;<a href="http://www.state.sd.us/doh/HIV/HIVJuly2005.pdf">South Dakota HIV/AIDS: Mid Year Surveillance Report</a>,&#8221; <i>South Dakota Department of Health</i>, July 2005, pg 3.</p>
<p> &#8220;<a href="http://www.argusleader.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050716/NEWS/507160318/1001">Internet, meth double HIV rate in S. Dakota</a>,&#8221; by Corrine Olson, <i>Sioux Falls Argus Leader</i>, 16 July 2005, http://www.argusleader.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050716/NEWS/507160318/1001.<br /> HIV is increasing in South Dakota, <i>the Internet</i>?
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote><p>Intravenous use of methamphetamine and people hooking up with anonymous sex partners on the Internet have doubled the HIV rate in South Dakota, worrying health officials.</p></blockquote>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p> If the <i>Argus</i> is blaming an electronic communication medium, why they don&#8217;t blame <b>roads</b>, a physical communication medium, is beyond me.
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote><p>Kightlinger said <b>some people also view the disease as one that infects only gay people</b>. Since 2002 in South Dakota, 37 percent of cases have been from heterosexual contact, primarily women exposed by a partner.</p>
<p> Cheryl O&#8217;Brien, the Sioux Falls School District&#8217;s coordinator for high school curriculum, said the district is trying to <b>educate young people about the dangers of the virus and how to avoid contracting HIV and AIDS</b>.</p></blockquote>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p> Well, as homosexualism and illegal needle drugs together account for <b>65%</b> of HIV/AIDS cases in South Dakota, and <b>75%</b> naturally, avoiding just two activities would cause the infection rate to plunge&#8230;</p>

<p>We can effectively end injection drug use as a vector for HIV / AIDS by ending the drug war.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Anyway, just remember: <b>there are no innocent victims of homosexualism</b></p>
