Nationally, MSM are 44 to 86 times more likely to be infected with HIV than their heterosexual counterparts, for they account for 53 percent of new infections, despite comprising an estimated 2 percent of the total population. HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius even noted recently “in some U.S. cities, it is estimated that nearly half of gay African-American men are HIV-positive.”

Since the beginning of the epidemic, more than 60 million people have been infected with the HIV virus and approximately 30 million people have died of AIDS. In 2010, there were an estimated 34 million people living with HIV, 2.7 million new infections, and 1.8 million AIDS-related deaths. The WHO African Region is the most affected, where 1.9 million people acquired the virus in 2010. The estimated 1.2 million Africans who died of HIV-related illnesses in 2010 comprised 69% of the global total of 1.8 million deaths attributable to the epidemic.

HIV is one of the world's leading infectious killers, claiming more than 25 million lives over the last 30 years. In 2011, there were approximately 34.2 million people living with HIV. Over 60% of people living with HIV are in sub-Saharan Africa.
Sub-Saharan Africa carries the highest burden of HIV infections and HIV/AIDS related mortality in the world. An estimated 33 million people worldwide were living with HIV in 2007, of whom 67% were in sub-Saharan Africa. The Region also accounts for 75% of global AIDS deaths. Approximately 9.1 million people were newly infected with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa in 2007.

Don't try to use stats on me. I was talking about Africans, not African-Americans.

:wtf: your "stats" didn't counter mine, it just basically showed African countries don't have the same counter measures that America does, that's why HIV is causing a higher percentage of fatalities there

You said only gay men are affected by the virus and I showed proof that you're wrong. Not even the majority of people with HIV are fagg0ts

well I just read this article but from what it says it seems as long as you take the drugs you can stay healthy from HIV, but often people with HIV get multiple problems so sometimes they have to stop taking the drugs to treat something else, and the virus reinfects the new cells in their body too

they're saying the OG patient who got cured got bone marrow from someone who had an anti-HIV genetic trait

but now it seems if you put normal new bone marrow stem cells in there you can still kill the old cells off as long as you continue the HIV drugs during the transplant

it's crazy in a way, they're still using our regular evolutionary biological method of fighting off bad cells, just giving it some help
:wow:
