I don't believe the article is saying that HIV/AIDS is not a crisis in countries such as India, China and Russia. The article, and the summation of the study, suggest that there is a genetic predisposition to HIV/AIDS. I find this information interesting and am hopeful that more researchers will pursue this possibility. If there is a genetic predisposition it is to everyone's benefit that it be understood and considered as efforts to develop a preventative agent or cure for HIV/AIDS.
This is laughable!! Africans, African-Americans are no more susceptible that anyone else. Have unprotected sex with an infected person, share an infected needle, you get the virus. It's that simple. HIV/AIDS crosses all boundaries, including race and class. HIV/AIDS is a crisis in not only Africa, but India, China and Russia as well.
I agree there has to be some reason why we Africans and we of African decent seem to contract the virus at a higher rate. But it is much more to it than that. I feel that it was designed with the idea in mind to attack people with certain gene makeups. HIV and AIDS did not just come from nowhere.

Which plays a bit into the believe by a large segment of the afro American population that aids is man made and was made to target the African population but got out of control.
