AIDS Virus Now Estimated To Be 100 Years Old
ChazeFroy writes "A new study estimates that the AIDS virus, HIV, started to circulate in the human population between 1884 and 1924, with a more focused estimate at 1908. This is much earlier than the previously-held estimate of 1930. 'The new result is "not a monumental shift, but it means the virus was circulating under our radar even longer than we knew," says Michael Worobey of the University of Arizona, an author of the new work.' The article also speculates that HIV first began to spread in Kinshasa, Congo."

The interesting part is that the treatment model that accompanied the behavioral theory - i.e. "stop fucking people you aren't married/monogamous with
The trouble is that not all of us can find a monogamous partner. I was faithful to my wife for 27 years, yet it wasn't a monogamous relationship; she's an adulterous slut (at least she was until she got unfuckably fat and ugly). Three years of celebacy after my divorce (she left me for an unemployed auto mechanic) had me banging hookers - it's the only way an ass burger nerd like me can get laid.
That's what I have against gay "marriage"; marriage isn't a right. It's legal for gays to marry, it's just illegal to marry someone of your own sex. I can no more find a suitable woman to marry than if I were gay.
