I was watching BET news last night and they stated that in the US 1 out of every 50 black males is infected with the HIV virus - pretty incredible numbers.

In India they expect between 10-25 million deaths due to aids in the next 7 years.

In parts of Africa aids has caused the live expectancy of males to drop to 27 years.

I dont think that there is any conspiracy involved but the numbers of black or coloured population versus white populations should be studied - some people have been working on circumcision as one of the reasons that certain populations tend to get lower numbers than others. In Africa there are some countries where the governments are trying to convince the population of the advantages of circumcision - a very difficult thing to do in some tribes.
