Well, I for one don't go for the official AIDS story. The diagnosis of AIDS 
in Africa is obviously not the result of laboratory tests; it is the 
labelling of a number of common conditions (cough, fever, low body weight, 
diarrhea, (I forget the others)) that are indicators of a host of other 
problems that are endemic to impoverished, starving populations.

"AIDS in Africa is caused by malnutrition, release of endogenous cortisol, 
and opportunistic diseases. Atrophy in the lymphoid

       tissue in people suffering from malnutrition has been known since 
1925. Malnutrition causes severe atrophy in the thymus and

       lymphoid organs and impairs the function of the T cells. These 
changes are reversible by feeding. The size of the thymus in

       malnourished children increased from 20% of normal to 107% of 
normal, following nine weeks of feeding."
