Can't Work. AIDS cannot survive long outside of the bloodstream, infact, it dies almost immediately when in contact with the air.

can it not exist in the substance for pre lubrication within the condom?

I do think that this may be false or there would be far more cases of people with AIDS which would come from an unsubstanciated source.

But, do remember that HIV can live long in other fluids (spermicides). That's why tatoo needles are not safe. The virus lives in the ink. It is correct that it will die if exposed to the air but could possibly live in the spermicide. Not that I subsribe to this theory because I actually just heard of it.

The problem afaics, is that HIV might just be a cofactor, not the whole deal, and who knows what condoms could be laced with? Remember, reliability isn't paramount, random infections would be sufficient for the depopulationists, wouldn't they?

Of course, this train of thought opens up a can of worms, doesn't it ?

If you don't understand what i'm getting at, i'll give you an analogy.. i know someone who doesn't drink squat (no alcohol i mean), yet his liver condition leaves a lot to be desired, and every time a MD takes a look at that datasheet, he/she just smiles (un)knowingly, making (mostly) stupid remarks wrt drinking less and all. Can't convince them, circular logic at work, they won't believe anyone with liver condition, so there's no reason to question their stereotypical approach, because every case of bad liver condition was the result of drinking anyway...

If you or i contacted AIDS somehow, out of the blue so to speak, would anyone believe it wasn't drug use /promiscuity or any other stigmatised activity? of course not and a few years ago, you'd have been labelled a homo, too.

Not making a judgement call on this particular theory, and you can only take this as hearsay under the circumstances, but in research I had access to back in the early 90's (sorry it was in print and I don't have a link) the live virus was detected in sewage treatment plants.

Are you kidding me? AIDS spread by condoms? If that were true then half the planet would be infected with it. This is a ridiculous conspiracy.... hell its not even a conspiracy it's just plain ridiculous. Yeah great way for condom companies to make money...... by infecting and killing its customers.

when did this come out??

I didn't come up with this conspiracy theory. People in Africa did (why the AIDs rates are so high- not because they think it's "magic" or some other baloney the media reports). Also a "whistleblower" was on Alex Jones the other day talkinga about this. It sounded sort of interesting.

Africans have been saying this for ages though, and I don't underestimate them (that would be patronizing and racist) so I lend an ear to them.

Africa has the highest amount of HIV/AIDS cases in the world (approx 1/3 of the population in many areas). Teachings such as these only go to exacerbate the problem. When I worked in Sierra Leone, one of the local leaders stated that the only way to cure a man of AIDS was to have sex with a virgin. I am not saying this to be racist, I am saying that taking their word for the treatment of this condition may not be the best course of action.

Condoning the practice of unprotected sex is both stupid and irresponsible.

Yes, the virgins legend was present in South Africa when I visited the place a few years ago. Another legend in South Africa was the you have to have to rape a white girl (!) to get cured from AIDs. There's a reason why AIDs is much rarer in Europe and North America though, and it may not have anything to do with protected sex. Europeans developed a Bubonic plague resistance gene which so happens to make AIDs infection harder (the two diseases have nothing to do with each other obviously, but the gene makes it harder for the virus to penetrate cells and spread it's genetic material). A study just confirmed this. It can account for up to 20% less AIDs cases. Polygamy is also common in parts of Africa, extended families and so forth. Another reason AIDs might be such a scourge.
