Nntp-Posting-Host: squid.cs.ucla.edu Archive-Number: 2870 I have seen alot of speculation that the AIDS epidemic in west africa and Kenya was due to mass innoculation programs and malaria clinics where injections were "shared". Since innoculations and drug injections are not age specific why do we not see mass HIV infection in children and old people? I think we are dealing with the same ignorant mentality that continues to insist that insects transmit HIV and that heterosexuals can't get AIDS from sex. -- Uucp: ...{gatech,ames,rutgers}!ncar!asuvax!stjhmc!135!38!The."Bird" Internet: The."Bird"@f38.n135.z1.fidonet.org
