Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is caused by the contraction of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) usually through unprotected sex and intravenous drug use. It is a devastating illness that has been noticed to primarily affect groups such as homosexuals and other minority groups, particularly African-Americans.

After noticing this trend, people began to accept the possibility that AIDS was engineered by the CIA to target these individuals as a means for population control among these particular groups. Although it is clear that these groups tend to have higher infection rates, it has been chalked up to social and economic reasons rather than a government conspiracy, although not all are convinced.
