Heterosexual AIDS Pandemic Threat That Never Existed Is Over

J.J. Jackson* | June 10, 2008 

Yes, we can all breathe easier now that the World Health Organization has made this proclamation despite claiming for years that it was indeed going to happen. Of course many of us have been pointing out for years that such an outbreak was not likely and the disease would be confined to certain high risk groups that it is often politically incorrect to criticize.

A quarter of a century after the outbreak of Aids, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has accepted that the threat of a global heterosexual pandemic has disappeared.

In the first official admission that the universal prevention strategy promoted by the major Aids organisations may have been misdirected, Kevin de Cock, the head of the WHO’s department of HIV/Aids said there will be no generalised epidemic of Aids in the heterosexual population outside Africa.

Dr De Cock, an epidemiologist who has spent much of his career leading the battle against the disease, said understanding of the threat posed by the virus had changed. Whereas once it was seen as a risk to populations everywhere, it was now recognised that, outside sub-Saharan Africa, it was confined to high-risk groups including men who have sex with men, injecting drug users, and sex workers and their clients. 

Gee, welcome to the party Mr. De Cock … there’s a joke there but I’m not going to say it.
