per se...but something definitely needs to be done.

I suppose that whether or not you believe it's a "conspiracy" has a lot to do with whether or not you think AIDS is a manmade creation vs. a naturally developed disease, among other things.

I think that more "developed" countries do have an obligation to do what they can (make more drugs available cheaper, e.g.) to help stop the spread of AIDS in Africa. I would hate to see a good portion of the Motherland's population wiped out in 20 years.

Then again, like Quest said, some of the conditions in Africa today are not helping efforts to curb the disease. I've read several articles (from African news sources) detailing the cultural, economic, and intellectual barriers to AIDS education/treatment on the continent.
