why?
Many people are UNAWARE that they are infected with HIV.Less than 1% of the sexually active urban population in Africa has been tested, and this proportion is even lower in rural populations. Furthermore, only 0.5% of pregnant women attending urban health facilities are counseled, tested or receive their test results. Again, this proportion is even lower in rural health facilities.
TRANSMISSION
The three main transmission routes of HIV are sexual contact, exposure to infected body fluids or tissues, and from mother to fetus or child during perinatal period. It is possible to find HIV in the saliva, tears, and urine of infected individuals, but due to the low concentration of virus in these biological liquids, the risk is negligible.
and no treatment
Treatment
There is currently no vaccine or cure for HIV or AIDS. The only known methods of prevention are based on avoiding exposure to the virus or, failing that, an antiretroviral treatment directly after a highly significant exposure, called post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP).[

theories range from claims that HIV is not the principal cause, to suggestions that AIDS was the inadvertent result of medical experiments, to claims that HIV was deliberately created.
Some scientists and others have theorized that AIDS is a man-made disease. These theories generally state that the disease was designed to deliberately wipe out a certain segment of the population created between 1977 and 1978, was tested on prison inmates who had volunteered for the experiment in exchange for early release. It was through these prisoners that the virus was spread to the population at large, starting with the gay community. HIV was created by Western scientists for biological warfare.there is an ongoing government and media cover-up regarding the origin of the AIDS epidemic.
Glum reports that AIDS can be transmitted through kissing, mosquito bites and casual contact.
AIDS virus was engineered by such U.S. Government defense contractors as Litton Bionetics for the purposes of bio-warfare and "population control
U.S. Government has an established history of performing experiments on its own citizens without their knowledge or consent.

I think the virus has been with us since creation. The virus was not discovered until 1981 when the Cubans returned back from Angola. The virus is also been found in the Gorilla clan.
Take Alheizmers for example. What we did was just put them away in "nut" houses as that is what the population thought; they were crazy...Now we know different.

The world is sadly overpopulated with humans. Nature rises up and only the survival of the fittest will emerge
