* there are six different basic types of the AIDS virus
*and that each of these basic types, being what is called a "recombinant retrovirus," has a recombinant potential of 9,000 to the Fourth Power. "Recombinant" means the ability to change and recombine into something new, and the calculation 9,000 to the Fourth Power times 6 is literally in the hundreds of millions of trillions of different possible forms and manifestations of the AIDS virus.
