Don't share needles, and don't have anal sex with promiscuous men. Simple. Heterosexual AIDs is nearly non-existant in non-government sponsored research.

I saw the link, etech.

One thing everyone here should know: Diseases don't jump from species to species easily. There are natural barriers that all creatures have to protect them from the ills of other creatures. Furthermore, for such a disease to jump onto the world scene in such a short period of time is highly circumspect. Going from an individual in central africa to eastern africa in 20 years, to New York City and San Francisco, then to Haiti Brazil in another couple of years? Something had to speed it up.

Then the next time you see a car accident, you'd better not stop to help the victims. After all, they might be bleeding.
