[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While Ebola is very different than Aids, the dispersion of the news is similar. Most of you were children when AIDS first came out. First is was "...only gays" the "only gays who were promiscuous" then  "...only if you do certain acts" then "...only men",  ''... then only poor drug users" ... then ARC syndrome (pre full blown AIDS), then "...women cannot get it" then "Haitians"
So there was a very long learning curve before the true facts were known. And in the meantime, now
"... Globally, 35.3 million [32.2–38.8 million] people were living with HIV  ... " www.who.int/gho/hiv/en/
So diseases do get spread around. And AIDS IS hard to get compared to Ebola.[/quote]

Sweetheart, Ebola has been studied since it was discovered. We are not living in the 70s/80s with little understanding of how viral transmission works.

And BTW, the people saying the ridiculous things you are quoting above? Idiot members of the public like most of the posters on this thread, not researchers and scientists who actually studied AIDS.[/quote]
