"  Some specialists raised questions about the estimates in mid-January,
after a report on a household survey in Kenya that estimated a 6.7 percent
national HIV prevalence rate, compared with the UN's 15 percent estimate
in 2002.

IF this is true, which it may be, it is both good and bad news. It
would be great if the epidemic there was less severe than thought. But
6.7% is still horribly high.

And it certainly doesn't mean, in either case, that HIV doesn't exist
or cause AIDS. Indeed, it is saying that 6.7% of people have HIV. That
causes AIDS.

You aren't supporting your idiotic notions by splashing about in the
waters of statistics you don't even begin to understand--let alone the
human beings that exist in the context of those numbers.
