“The headline figures are horrible: almost 30 million Africans have HIV/Aids. But, says Rian Malan, the figures are computer-generated estimates and they appear grotesquely exaggerated when set against population statistics.”
Same over here. Every year a new influx of HIV/AIDS infected Asians and Africans immigrants arrive in the UK and push up the “infection rates” which causes predictable hand wringing about the young ignoring safe sex messages. When will interest groups stop lying about this sort of thing? It causes needless worry and generates expensive campaigns targeting non-problems.
Given the number of victims, AIDS is massively over funded and massively exaggerated as a threat. More people die of Malaria very year than AIDS.
