Every epidemic disease is now renamed 'AIDS' under the Bangui Definition.
Mortalities (non natural) in S.A. remain at the same 2.2% P.A. that they
were BEFORE AIDS. Either every other disease in the region vanished
overnight or 'AIDS' is simply the old diseases with a new name. You
decide.
-------------
In Africa, the continent supposedly being decimated by
HIV, HIV tests are rarely ever done, so there the idea
that all patients with AIDS are infected with HIV is
based entirely on supposition.
At a WHO conference in the Central African Republic in 1985, U.S. Centers
for Disease Control (CDC) introduced the "Bangui Definition" of AIDS in
Africa.
The CDC officials later explained, "The definition was reached by
consensus, based mostly on the delegates' experience in treating AIDS
patients. It has proven a useful tool in determining the extent of the
AIDS epidemic in Africa, especially in areas where no testing is
available.
It's major components were prolonged fevers (for a month or more), weight
loss of 10% or greater, and prolonged diarrhea..."(McCormick, 1996). Where
AIDS is diagnosed clinically, large numbers of AIDS patients test negative
for HIV. As no HIV testing is required in Africa we have no idea how many
AIDS cases there are HIV positive (De ####, 1991; Gilks, 1991;
Widy-Wirski, 1988).

Other conditions common in underprivileged and
impoverished communities that are known to cause false
positive results are tuberculosis, malaria, hepatitis and leprosy (Burke,
1993; Challakeree, 1993; Johnson, 1998; Kashala, 1994; MacKenzie,1992;
Meyer, 1987). In fact, these are the primary health threats in Africa;
several million cases of tuberculosis and malaria are reported in Africa
each year - more than all the AIDS cases reported in Africa since 1982
(WHO, 1998)*.

So, enough HIV tests had been done to get an idea how many
clinically diagnosed AIDS patients were HIV negative.
>As no HIV testing is required in Africa we have no idea how many
>AIDS cases there are HIV positive (De Cock, 1991; Gilks, 1991;
>Widy-Wirski, 1988).
But in the next sentence, not enough HIV tests had been done to get
an idea how many patients were HIV positive.
Either enough tests had been done or they hadn't. You can't have it
both ways.
Perhaps the agenda of attacking African AIDS statistics was more
important to the author than truth and logical consistency.
