why is AIDs so widespread?

[govman6767]

Seeing how the Pope travel's to numerous populated countries in the world and ADVOCATES not using condoms. I would say the pope and the church have been contributing to the spread of AIDS ( NOT THE #1 REASON FLAMERS ) but it is a reason. Countries adverse to using condoms is a problem.

I'm just assuming that poorer countries in Africa the people cannot afford condoms. Or would rather have lots of kids because childern are a big resource in poor countries.

The blood test is a simple enzyme test and a drop is sufficient to test activity. (For this you get the results in 15 minutes).

Recent tests allow a toothpick to scrape a few cells from the cheek to be tested. (I'm not sure about the mechanism of this test). (But you get the results in a few minutes in this test, too).

OHHH, you mean an HIV test.

Given that HIV appears to lead with 100% certainty to AIDS, which in turn is 100% incurable, why are you concerned about the distinction? Contracting HIV = contracting AIDS.
