Possible Breakthrough for AIDS Cure

kryonD writes "Researchers believe they have found a new compound that could finally kill the HIV/AIDS virus, not just slow it down as current treatments do. While most of the community is still hesitant to comment on this until it passes peer review, initial results show that their method attacks and kills ALL variations of the virus. A fast track through the FDA could have one of the world's leading problems licked in less than a decade."

Just because something isn't PC doesn't mean it isn't the truth. In 2004, only .00541% of the US population died from AIDS, about 15,798(on the decline) people.

Around 14,900 people fall to there deaths every year in the United States, over 43,000 die in automobile accidents. Over 1.3 million abortions were performed in 2002, over 700,000 died from heart disease, cancer took over 500,000, strokes took out over 150,000, doctors managed to take out 250,000, and Alzeheimers killed nearly 50,000.

Only 11% of men are exposed through heterosexual contact. That means, that if 100% of the people that died of AIDS were men, 1,738 died from heterosexual contact. That's 0.000588% of the population.

In short, if you don't want to get AIDS, avoid unprotected homosexual sex if you are a male, and unprotected anal sex if you are a female, and don't share injection drug needles. Additionally, don't have sex with people that are in the risk group. That should bring the odds down to a completely manageable level.
