We've been through this before, but let me re-iterate: the record of the emergence of AIDS in Uganda

1) does not match patters of malnutrition. If AIDS was actually the same old malnutrition, you'd expect to see it more in poorer areas - this is not the case. 2) happened before the use of experimental anti-AIDS drugs 3) did not involve isolation of people with HIV.

I used to have an excellent cite for this research, but unfortunately have lost it - if anyone else has, please shout!
