RAEL’S COMMENT: a victory for REAL science.
The number of cases of AIDS in Australia has plummeted, leading its scientists to claim victory in the battle against AIDS, as it has been “pretty much dealt with” as a public health issue. However, this does not mean the HIV does not remain a problem.
At its peak in the 1990s, around 1,000 Australians were dying each year from AIDS. However, the researchers form the Kirby and Peter Doherty institutes and the Australian Federation of AIDS Organizations have announced that they are well and truly in control of the syndrome, with numbers being so low, they are not even recorded.
