I am asking questions to debunk myths based on how the disease is spread versus created. I'll admit that I'm not educated as much as I'd like to be on the topic of HIV and AIDS. But over the years I've heard conspiracies and theories and blatant bull@h!t about what the virus is or is not. Everything ranging from "it's God's curse on the gays" (Bull$h!t) to the introduction of a different Y chromosome into the bloodstream (theory) and even it being a product of government funded chemical warfare (conspiracy theory).
But in the 25-30 years since the outbreak really took off, no one has ever come forward and said "We have found that the virus is created by conditions x and y combined with agitation from z." I may not have a degree in biomedicine, but how is it illogical to think that knowing what creates the virus can help find its cure? Don't you have to know what's wrong in order to fix it?
