No, you don't get AIDS from malnutrition. But there is at least a body of eveidence that folks suffering from severe malnutrtion, bad water and poor health care, of which the vast majority of "supposed" African AIDS infected people suffer, will test positive for the AIDS viris, though not actually infected...

Which brings us around to "bumper sticker" thinking by Westerners that these folks is just bad people 'cause of their behavior when genocide thru starvation is the real story. But that doesn't fit "bumper sticker" thinking and isn't as nice a story to tell folks who have a McDonald's on every corner...

As fir degrees? Most are purdy danged usless. In most cases all they represent is an individuals tolerance to be hazed for 4, 6 or more years to prove they are "company men and women"...
