An international team of scientists say a "perfect storm" of population growth, sex and railways allowed HIV to spread. A feat of viral archaeology was used to find the pandemic's origin, the team report in the journal Science. They used archived samples of HIV's genetic code to trace its source, with evidence pointing to 1920s Kinshasa. Their report says a roaring sex trade, rapid population growth and unsterilised needles used in health clinics probably spread the virus. Meanwhile Belgium-backed railways had one million people flowing through the city each year, taking the virus to neighbouring regions.

I AWAIT A BLOOD TEST

I await upstairs to get my blood test,surrounded by beige walls,green carpets such the norm for a doctors,people sitting by you in a  monk like silence  ,staring into space with frowns on their heads,the door opens the nurse pops out in a cuckoo clock way,so be my turn hurrah.To take the blood a band goes around the arm beware sharp scratch ,blood flows into vessels looking similar to ketchup in horror movies,ready to go to the lab,its over again to next time i hope not soon.
