Still right on 18 years later 
Fumento, Gordon Stewart, and others who disputed that HIV would be a pandemic in the general heterosexual population have finally been vindicated. The independent published an article a few weeks ago about how the threat of a heterosexual epidemic is over. It is obvious that AIDS is far from the disaster that was forecast in the 1st world countries. It has confided itself to the so-called trash can of society - junkies,homosexuals,whores, and Johns. As far as Africa proving the heterosexual epidemic that is rubbish. "AIDS" in Africa is the relabeling of old diseases. Africans need nutritious food, clean drinking water, medications for endemic diseases, and other basics, not condoms and "partner reduction". I dare anyone to visit the disease ridden slums of Africa. Sex is the last thing on peoples minds there!

One of the best books of the last 50 years
This book is one of the best I've ever read, and is a brave statement from a daring journalist, Michael Fumento, who was willing to prick the bubble of AIDS overhype when few others in the lazy mainstream media were willing to challenge the hotheaded claims of AIDS activists (no wonder newspaper readership is in steady decline--newspapers have continually sacrificed their credibility at the altar of hype and untruth, but fortunately, they now have to face brutal competition from other media outlets).
It is now nearly 20 years since this book was published, and its analysis can only be described as prophetic: AIDS is not an epidemic among the U.S. heterosexual community and never will be (we should be more concerned about Asian bird flu). AIDS is a lifestyle disease more than anything else, like lung cancer and emphysema, and its spread could have been easily prevented had people been more willing to wear a condom and not share drug needles. Insisting on a drug cure was a reckless waste of resources, and nearly 30 years after AIDS was diagnosed, guess what? There still is no cure. It is a manageable condition similar to high cholesterol and diabetes. In fact, the best hope may be that HIV eventually mutates into another harmless virus that lives symbiotically within a human host. The best way to halt the spread of HIV in Africa is through education. Cultures that cannot accept safe sex practices are destined to be extinguished. No particular culture on earth is entitled to survive its own recklessness.

A Must Read
This is a book the Homosexual lobby will have a great deal of trouble with as it doesn't fit their agenda. The claims are backed by real science and the conclusions are sound. Read the book without an agenda and you will come away better for the experience. Don't live in fear. There is no need to.

ideological hack science 
Considering that you can round off the HIV+ homosexual population of America when talking about AIDS numbers in Africa, the conclusions of this book are specious to say the least. If you're an ultra conservative who likes blaming the price of gas on gay marriage, no doubt reading this book will make you feel good.

The Emporer Has No Clothes
Michael Fumento is one of those quite rare people who sees reality clearly and does not have the propensity to assume that the media crowd, who seem to be monolithic in their belief system concering the causes of AIDS.
Obvious groups had/have a vested interest in confusing (lying)
about the main predisposing factors which lead to contracting the disease.
The result was and is that many people who could have avoided becoming infected with HIV/AIDS were infected and frequently died due to commonly held assumptions.
Fumento had considerable courage by bucking "the establishment" and the "experts." When his book was published, many bookstores would not display it.
It is quite difficult to maintain your honesty and integrity and survive. To be concise, Fumento was/is a whistle blower on a global scale. Bravo!
