I don't have seventeen decimal places of accuracy, but try this generalization:

In various countries of Africa, AIDS (known as "Thin" or "The Thin" over
there) is striking men and women alike, nearly 50%, split right down the
genderal line, and withough regard to a heterosexual/bisexual/homosexual
preference...considering the number of AIDS cases in Africa, I would
presume that is enough to convince anyone...
