"...will test positive for the AIDS viris, though not actually infected"

Which test comes up false positive? Do you have a link to an article?

The rapid screening tests sometimes DO show false positives, and should be confirmed with repeated tests, either Western blot (WB) or immunofluorescent assay (IFA). I don't know if malnutrition can lead to a false positive, but I DO know it's the virus that causes AIDS. Malnutrition will certainly help the virus do its dirty work, along with a lack of treatment. The primary factor in an AIDS death, however, is infection with HIV.

There's a danger in people believing what they die from is malnutrition and not AIDS. People die from malnutrition, and it's something to fight, but it's a separate, (although contributory) issue. Passing off AIDS deaths as something else is like saying the dead people in Iraq got that way because they were living in the wrong place. If what you say were true, we could all eat good meals, go out and shoot some smack with our 'blood brothers', fuck like rabbits, and we'll be just fine. There's a danger in trying to tell people that unprotected promiscuous sex as a cultural norm is perfectly fine. Just ONE person who reads what you write, actually believes you, and dies, is just too much.

Unprotected promiscuous sex is just plain dangerous, and finding excuses to try to convince people "it's ok to continue that cultural practice" is a little too close to promoting genocide.
