AIDS virus invaded U.S. from Haiti: study

[nhboy]

"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The AIDS virus invaded the United States in about 1969 from Haiti, carried most likely by a single infected immigrant who set the stage for it to sweep the world in a tragic epidemic, scientists said on Monday.

Michael Worobey, a University of Arizona evolutionary biologist, said the 1969 U.S. entry date is earlier than some experts had believed.

The timeline laid out in the study led by Worobey indicates that HIV infections were occurring in the United States for roughly 12 years before AIDS was first recognized by scientists as a disease in 1981. Many people had died by that point."

Breaking news?


70's joke:
Q: What's the worst thing about catching AIDS?
A: Trying to convince your family you're Haitian.

Maybe the Head Start "free-breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack, bedtime snack, before-school babysitting, after-school babysitting, free rent, food and clothes" program really does have an impact on the opportunity to succeed in this community after all. Problem is, it does not appear to be the impact the socialists envisioned in the 60's when these giveaway programs all started.

No... he took the initiative in creating AIDS.
