Hey Rockstar, are you a mutant?

Every forth Russian resistant to AIDS thanks to mutant gene
Up to 1.5 percent of Russians have two mutant genes CKR-5 i.e. they are fully protected from HIV

The article states the resistance to HIV due to this gene can be determined by nationality. With the Japanese and Africans being the least resistant, that raises some odd questions.

I've believed for a while that AIDS isn't what we believe it is, and didn't originate in the manner we're told. I've always been curious as to why the medication that's given to AIDS patients also has a warning label that states it causes susceptibility to life threatening diseases. And why are so many Africans diagnosed with HIV, when it's more likely a decrease in immune efficiency due to starvation.

certain races are more resistant and more receptive to various diseases and illnesses, it's just nature, I really doubt that cold war scientist invented AIDS. If they had the technology to create a disease that affected a specific group of people worse than others, wouldn't you think it would of ravaged Russia instead of Africa?
Elysium, which conspiracy camp are you with regarding the 'real' cause of AIDS, if not HIV?

Duh. You mess with anything having to do with the immune system, especially with the T-cells, you risk susceptibility. Trust me, my kids are both IGG deficient and have potential T-cell problems. Of course, that disclaimer is like the release form you sign prior to surgery that says, "I understand that this procedure may lead to bleeding, infection, and possibly death." Duhr.

No, in fact Africans have tons more unprotected sex. That, and they have lots less education about AIDS transmission. In Richard Preston's 'Hot Zone', about Ebola Reston, he theorizes that AIDS may have started in the same place in Africa that Ebola and Marburg come from. After the Kinshasa highway was paved in the early 70s, and the roadhouses and brothels spouted up, making disease transmission risk that much more likely.

Well, lets not let high IQ's and facts get in our way here!
The Guvment invented AIDS to kill black people, because every president is secretly a member of the KKK and the nazi party.
Scoob: The info jzero used to back his arguement is just as much a theory. which goes back to what I said, we KNOW little. gophucurselfkthanx.
So what do the Japanese and Africans have in common that would cause them to be less immune?
Russian Mutant Genes are teh awesome!
Concerning Mr.Rockstar's mutant nature, I think we all know the truth there
Seriously though, a lot of european cultures have minute amounts of people who can immune to many illnesses, including HIV. It really stems back to the middle ages, during the times of the plague, and other serious diseases. Some people's genes adapted, or mutated, to resist the new threats. A lot of those same genes are protecting their decendants today.
The high rate of diagnosis in Africa is caused by a "bounty" given to doctors for every diagnosed HIV infected. There are also three different testing methods, two of which are more reliable but more expensive. Most docs prefer the "If it coughs it's infected" (not exactly but it lists a few standard symptomes like coughing, headaches, temperature, etc that match anything, including malaria) method. IOW, lots of false positives. Many other diseases like malaria were no longer diagnosed after that was introduced, now they all get rubberstamped with "you got AIDS".

Well they also have catholic missionaries that are "helping" the africans by teaching them birth control is against god. So they fuck, infect each other and have too many kids(with AIDS of course).
There is your weapon right there.
