DON T "And yet you see no possibility of any similar occurence with HIV.
What a very strange "scientist" you are."

WE do see a lot of genetic variability in HIV. There are many groups within HIV 1 and there is HIV 2.
If the virus changes dratically, things might change and we could have another discussion.
It is pointless speculating about a possible, completely unknown future. That would be Science Fiction. Scientists are working in the real world. That is what I have been posting about.

Remember, they have been wrong about this already. For a long time it seemed obvious (O.B.Vious !)that a heterosexual epidemic would happen in the West. That lesson has now been learned.
