What I love about science

is light of hope and optimism it brings the world.

Take this study for example:

You win the HIV!

Women using a microbicide to prevent transmission of the AIDS virus become infected more often than those in a control group.

How does someone get to be the lucky constestant in that freak show.
[Full Disclosure - I refuse to actually read the article]

I can just see the study planners now:

Group A will apply microbicide and get the HIV
Group B will not apply microbicide and get the HIV

Everybody wins!

Why brown people havent been this much fun since slavery.

Aint africa great?
