This article is quite amusing. It's obviously referring to HIV, but
doesn't use the term once. Instead it mentions the "AIDS virus."
I think what we see here is that the term HIV has lost its impact.
People have wised-up to the fact that HIV doesn't kill. HIV became
HIV/AIDS, and now HIV is being dropped if favour of "AIDS virus."

"Testing Of People At High Risk For AIDS Suggested
(AP) BALTIMORE A disease researcher in Baltimore says testing of
high-risk people is the best way to find people who don't know
they are infected with the AIDS virus.
Johns Hopkins epidemiologist Doctor David Holtgrave also says federal
guidelines that call for routine testing of all Americans ages 13 to
64 for the AIDS virus might not be as effective.
His article appears in the online medical journal PLoS Medicine.
Under the government's new policy, Holtgrave estimates that 864
million dollars will be spent in one year to diagnose nearly 57,000
new infections, assuming that one percent of those tested are
infected.
But he says 188,000 new infections could be identified for the same
amount of money by focusing on drug treatment facilities, prisons and
community health centers in high-risk neighborhoods."

If you keep up with the reports, it's clear that the "HIV experts"
don't know what they are talking about, and are playing a sort of
shell game. Picture a typical zombie movie, except that the zombies
here say "HIV - it's got to be HIV," instead of "brains, I want
brains."
