What you're about to read (if you have the attention span) is a viewpoint that I do not share. I mean, I thought of it, but I don't believe it; while not impossible, it is highly improbable, and I'm just trying to stir discussion. Poll included if you don't have time to spit out some words.
First, let's look at it; AIDS is a deviously evil disease. Symptoms don't appear for years after you get infected, leaving you to have sexual relations with anyone who doesn't suspect you of having AIDS and doesn't ask you to get tested. It takes a long time to become lethal, but once it is, nothing short of a complete bone marrow transplant can save you. In the end, you die. If you have children, they'll die. Whoever you've had sexual contact with will die.
Now, in the developed world, AIDS isn't as prevalent among the general populace, given increased awareness, condom usage, and preventive measures taken. However, in third-world countries, where rape and unsafe sex are as common as air molecules, it spreads like wildfire. Given the high birth rate in said countries, entire generations are being born only to die.
What if the government instilled this plan as an effort to cut down population? As I said, the people affected most are the uneducated, 'useless' ones in Africa and other impoverished locales. The rich upper class are much less likely to get the virus, which is perfect, considering they are the ruling caste. This way, the leadership of the world continues to live on, while the poor eventually all die out.
Sounds ridiculous, dun' it? Whatever, let's just talk possibilities and what the implications would be. Oh, and yes, I know that AIDS originated from chimps.
