HIV passed on to humans by gorillas
Uganda News.Net Monday 3rd August, 2009
A new strain of HIV, passed on by animals, has been discovered by French and English scientists.
The new strain is transmitted to humans from gorillas.
The researchers discovered the HIV subtype in a 62-year-old Cameroon woman, who was diagnosed with the virus in 2004.
Before moving to Paris, the woman had lived in an area of Cameroon where she would not normally have had contact with fresh bush meat, which is the normal means of transmission.
The woman has reported she never ate bush meat, causing doctors to believe it is not a direct transmission from gorillas but a rare HIV subtype.
Until now, all strains of HIV1, the main virus that causes AIDS, have been linked to African bush meat, which has included the flesh of gorillas and chimpanzees. Email this story to a friend

LIES
The virus that causes AIDS was injected into Africans in the Congo by Hilary Kaprowski while claiming it was a Polio vaccine. They used the SIV virus which they harvested from chimps.

Africa = negative
Every one knows for sure that AIDS is totaly homosexuals.
Once again you manage to atribute a negative situation to us(Africans). When can we be liberated from you people? I guess by confronting you, it is the only option left now.

Preposterous as it seems (Lies) is partly right. HIV/AIDS Didnt start in Africa. It came from a LAB buy Proxy. Thing is who crazy enough. Check records and check again. Its never to late.

Why not get the fresh African HIV/AIDS women's eggs ?
Why not get the fresh African HIV/AIDS black woman’s eggs to research the STEM CELLS studies; to compare with the female gorillas' eggs as well to probe into the HIV disease. The “Therapeutic Cloning” is one of the method of using Stem Cells to produce the new Marrow to repair the (white) blood cancer’s damaged blood cells. Also “Therapeutic Cloning” is to understand how and what caused the HIV/AIDS produced in human body. This is our Texas A&M University system focus on using fresh women’s eggs to research on the “Marrow” production by using the “Therapeutic Cloning” method of Stem Cells.
* During the Winter time, many Chinese people traditionally love to eat wild fowl to cook nutritious dishes with herbs, such as cooking a (masked/gem-faced) Civet; now think about the Civet (may) caused SARS virus; and the bush meat’s virus from the gorilla’s HIV. Will some Asians eat the monkey’s meat from now on ?
* Have this 62-year-old Cameroon woman who got her HIV think about the “FLEA” from a Zoo’s gorilla jumped to human body and got a bite, then the woman’s blood got the gorilla’s HIV ?

kawahchan, thank you for your comment. It has some interesting medical implications. Of course we all want to see a cure for this

Magilla Gorilla
Bush meat looks like the culprit, or are you saying that she has been trading spit with the gorilla’s?
Chimps were kept as pets, maybe the new fad is a pet gorilla.

The Cure
Chimp and gorilla researchers never seem to get infected with these HIV strains and they are in close contact with the animals, however they also have never been reported to eat bush meat or have relations with these species.
The cure is to stop chimps and gorilla’s dating humans. It might be,when the love is gone, dinner is server!

Close Gorilla Bath Houses
We should learn from the past and start closing chimp and gorilla bath houses, it seemed to have with other groups to curb the spread of HIV. We must be sure to do this in a politically sensative way though to avoid large lawsuits from the ACLU.
I’m sure the the Obama administration would be behind this approach because it’s another great way to spend obsene amounts of money and banrupt the USA!
