  • db0255, on 07/03/2008, -0/+11That last one is like an anti-cure.
  • jotate, on 07/03/2008, -3/+8First four comments on this article are jokes in reference to the raping and passing of AIDS to African children. And they have positive ratings.

    Not to be a buzz kill, but for *****'s sake. Stay classy, Digg.
  • rifaco, on 07/03/2008, -1/+8How can a cure for AIDS be "ancient"? We've only known about it for thirty years.
    • havokdu, on 07/04/2008, -3/+1Thirty years must be a whole lifetime in Africa
    • bagelmaster, on 07/04/2008, -1/+5I think they mean it's an ancient cure for VDs in general. Not just AIDS.

  • davecachia, on 07/04/2008, -7/+2"Having Sex with a Virgin

    Surveys suggest that up to a third of South Africans believe in an ancient and bizarre “cure” for AIDS. This “cure” involves having sex with a virgin in the belief that it will cleanse the body of venereal diseases like AIDS. This myth made South Africa the world’s highest incidence of rape, taking the problem to the most despicable crime: an alarming high rate of child rape. "

    Thank you natural selection.

  • holyskeleton, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1that's it. I'm going to take a beer bath while drinking frog juice and then have sex with a virgin. brb.
  • RoflCoptah, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2psh, why use these when i can just use a Remedy or cast curaga?
  • Quicksilver4648, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1The last one seems a little counter productive. To solve your condition you must spread it to others.
    • SatansSpatula, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1Seems almost engineered, doesn't it? The belief isn't unique to Africa, either. Similar beliefs are held in areas all over the world.

      Sort of like female circumcision: it's usually associated with Africa, but it's actually practiced virtually everywhere in varying concentrations.
  • FatO, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1Wait- this ISN'T from cracked.com!?!?
