Sekerob,

Thanks.. had no idea where to put it!

Think i saw that a few days ago elsewhere and was obscured as at the same time the global number quoted was given as 33 million where previously it was 40 million... US number up, global down. Well, it is difficult to get good numbers for developing countries, not to speak of the taboo in many others, government directed, claiming "we don't have a problem".

Unfortunately , but hopefully soon something will come out ....

End of AIDS 'nowhere in sight'

The world's largest AIDS conference has ended with governments, health experts and HIV-positive people determined to tackle the next 25 years of the epidemic, but the end to the pandemic is nowhere in sight.

I'm sorry for my knowledge being short, at the time you wrote the quoted lines, lavaflow. But recently, despite not being an English article, but a (BR)Portuguese one [http://www.jornaldaciencia.org.br/Detalhe.jsp?id=58033 ], I've found a little of the same assumption that warns, and even saying the same words you did, concerning sun-creams... and goes further: "nanotherapy may be threatening human kind, a stealth 'villain', which has been being welcome by desperate people needing therapeutic medical assistance and exploited by some other people, desperate to make money, as a promise of, even, eternal life!"
And the article goes on, warning such technology might get out of control and spread new diseases. Being so small and easy to be carried by the wind, through the air... "the American Chemistry Society has warned in 2007 that 'nanotubes' (carbon forms), already in production, are causing serious climate impact with the production of toxic and cancerous substances (MTBE, PBDE, PFO, and benzopyrene)", for instance.
Right now, searching the internet for an equivalent article in English, I've found one [http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/blog/nsb052008_nano.html ], saying a lot of the same thing again.

It's scary.

Thanks a lot for the warning and concern.
