In Kenya, large-scale surveys based on H.I.V. blood tests have found that infection rates, at less than one-half of 1 percent among teenage boys, rise to 7 percent among men 25 to 29, and peak at 9 percent among those 40 to 44.


These percentages are no where near what we are told in other media. We are told half the population has aids and send more money.

I still stand by my opinion and observation that a lot of what people think is aids is caused by other things like malnutrition.........unfortunately there is no longer money for malnutrition, only AIDS.

Not even the NY Times claims such numbers.

Where's the malnutrition in South Africa?

Circumcision Studied in Africa as AIDS Preventive

"According to a study Mr. Halperin published in 1999, seven southern African countries, where fewer than one in five men were circumcised, had H.I.V. prevalence rates in adults of 14 percent to 26 percent in 1998. In nine western African countries, where more than four in five men were circumcised, H.I.V. prevalence rates were below 5 percent."
