RTE have it all figured out, Marriage is causing HIV to spread.

On last night’s RTE News at Six and the main News Bulletin the following report was read concerning the global problem of AIDS.

And I quote…

Here in Ireland the number of new HIV cases rose by 10%

Cambodia with a population of around 30 million has the highest rate of HIV in Asia Pacific.

Today’s UN report says more than 38 million people are infected worldwide Despite all the advances in policy and medicine the UN is warning that AIDS is spreading faster than the world can cope.

An increasing number of those infected now are young women; on average there are thirteen infected women for every ten men.

In Cambodia married women whose husbands are infected are at greatest risk and children in turn are born with the disease.

Quote from expert?

“Well we are now seeing women being infected at a faster rate than men in Cambodia and one of the biggest routes for women in Cambodia is actually being ‘MARRIED’!!! With the increase of infection among women we are also seeing higher rates of transmission from mothers to children”.

Today’s first comprehensive UN report shows that in central Asia and Eastern Europe there are 1.3 Million people infected but its Sub-Saharan Africa that remains hardest hit with 25 Million people suffering from the disease. Life expectancy in southern African countries has dropped to 49 years as a result of AID.

Today’s report warns that people in countries like Swaziland and Zambia could have a life expectancy of just 35 years without immediate large-scale treatment.

After decade of campaigns here in Ireland new cases of HIV rose by 10% according to the latest figures from the National Disease Surveillance Unit.

The men with international transfer majority of groups from within the 20 to 40 year-old age group.

The BBC world edition web page added a little more light on this RTE News (EIGHT MONTHS AGO!). http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3237474.stm

It said:

The Africa Aids crisis getting worse (Tuesday, 25 November, 2003)

Young women in Africa are bearing the brunt of the onslaught.

According to various national surveys they are two-and-a-half times more likely to be infected as their male counterparts.

The UN says this is explained by a number of factors - for example, young women tend to start having sex earlier and are more susceptible to contracting the virus than young men.

Based on the facts above let’s let the imagination rip a little.

If married women were contacting HIV through their husbands then logically there would have to be an equal amount of husbands with HIV as well

If according to the figures fewer men have HIV - then fewer men than women engage in extra marital sex
RTE must be really getting stuck for anti-marriage, anti family filth if their researchers are scrounging around in ancient BBC web pages and are now fully straining their imaginations to try to suggest that there is a connection between HIV and Marriage.

They might have gotten away with this act of Constitutional Treason if they had concocted a case of strange ‘Unfaithful Husbands’ who were raping these poor innocent wives while they were toiling in their homes waiting for their actual husbands to arrive back to the homesteads

Could it not therefore be said that RTE our national Radio and Television station is actually promoting the spread of AIDS? Do you need some further proof? What about the case of Uganda’s winning battle with HIV by promoting abstinence-only programs for youth and adults who are not married and fidelity-only programs for monogamous MARRIED couples.

Here are the facts;

Global Situation http://www.globalchange.com/aiddoc.htm

100 million HIV infections expected by 2004

HIV / AIDS kills more than any other infectious disease

Estimated alive with AIDS: 7.7 million

45 million men, women and children alive with HIV

40 million AIDS deaths

2% of global population 15-45 years carries HIV

More than 90% with HIV are in the poorest nations

20 million children under 15 lost mothers to AIDS

3 million children infected from their mothers by July 1996 (85% of total in sub-Saharan Africa)

In 1995 1,400 children were born with HIV every day

Global impact will be equivalent to the entire economy of India by 2000

Half of all infections are in people under 25 years old

Uganda

15% average (falling due to prevention)……….

I wonder what are RTE up to?
