As a man of medicine I love these studies. How could a virus NOT become stronger since it is spreading unchecked, with poor treatments, and to the most disadvantage people in the world. We do't even really care what the virus is doing in the US as long as it keeps the AIDS industry kicking.

I think that it is not unexpected that people who are newly infected are likely to get a strain of the virus that is more virulent because it is coming from people who have been taking ARVS and are now resistant to many meds. The virus is one of the most intelligent in history in it's ability to change itself within the body and develop ways to defeat the methods that we use to fight it. The people who got it in the 80s likely got a virgin virus, much less lethal than what is around today.
