The most comprehensive report yet on HIV shows that prevalence of the
virus in Papua New Guinea is at epidemic levels but is not as high as
most thought.
Until now it was thought that 2 per cent or more of PNG's population
was infected with HIV AIDS.
A UN report, with input from an unprecedented number of organisations
says the figure is less, about 1.6 per cent.
[...]
However it is estimated that 60 per cent of those infected do not know
it and it is in the rural areas where the virus is really taking a
stranglehold.

So, even this new figure is an inflated estimate.

Yes, read about that earlier.
It's simply more HIVAIDS crackpot nonsense that will amount to
nothing.

Wow! The jokes just keep on coming from these folks. Just goes to
show how the need for continued funding can really make fools out of
people who think they are the smartest folks on the planet.
