I never said evolution doesn't occur. Evolution simply means 'change over time.' Of course we change. :roll:

Specifically, evolution is a change in allelic frequency in a general population group. For evolution to occur you have to break one of the five rules of the Hardy-Wineburg Equilibrium... I won't post those here, but they're really easy to break, like random mating, migration, mutation, large population, etc.

AIDS is not a species... gotta be alive to be classified.

AFAIK the current definition (although, of course, it is a bit ambiguous) is that two species split apart when they can't reproduce with each other.

OK, so now we're on the same boat and don't need to argue

AIDS came form Africa where monkeys have had it for ages but are immune. Some starving tribes started to hunt the animals for meat, and while cleaning the carcass cut themselves(or somthing) and cought AIDS through blood. Then they went home shot up 35 times with the same communal needles, and had sex every night, and the rest is history.

Check out Google's 20 year anniversary USENET thing, they have the very first news about AIDS back in the 80s.. it's really interesting reading everything.

AIDS is a condition, HIV is the virus.

You have AIDS when your T Helper cell count is below 200 per microliter (and have the HIV virus).
HIV is the STD virus that attacks T Helper cells.

AIDS is a condition, HIV is the virus.

Also, they have a cure for HIV, a protease inhibitor. It binds to the protease. Protease is the what cuts the viral polyprotein and activates it. Your immune system can fight off HIV very easily, it's just a virus. But since HIV attacks your T Helper cells at a greater rate then they can be produced and sent to attack the virus then you don't have a chance. With this protease inhibitor drug then the HIV virus doesn't activate and spread.

It's only under testing. Magic Johnson or whoever that basketball player is that has HIV. He's on the drug and he's getting better, I believe anyway, I'm not sure I don't have their patient data charts.
But the drug does exist.
