AIDS is a threat to the civilizations in Africa. You're a cold heartless person.
Which of these diseases would you like to see cured first?

Well technically so are the effects and causes of any of those diseases, but I'm not here to be an ass.
I don't think we'll just have a magic serum that gets rid of cancer, because each kind of cancer is different enough, despite the similarities they share, that it's not really "the same thing."
I would like to see a cure for the hemmoragic fevers: Lasa Fever, Ebola, and Marburg. Their killing potential is too great, they must be eliminated, in my opinion.
Don't deliberately edit my posts so that they're out of context. If you hadn't edited it would have being clear that the first quotation was referring to AIDS IN THE UNITED STATES. I know AIDS IN AFRICA is a severe problem, far worse than in America.

Certainly cancer, for pure selfish reasons. I'll probably get it more than once.
It affects many people, and unlike many of the other options, there is no prevention (for many types, although there are things which will lower risk). It affects young and old, while many of the options are more biased towards the elderly who have lived relatively full and rewarding lives (sure, broad generalization, but compare it to a teenage leukemia patient, as an extremish example). Next of those choices, by the same line of reasoning, would be MS, Lou Gehrig's, etc.

Cardiovascular diseases kill more people, dosen't it?
Malaria. It's a huge impediment to devolving nations.
sounds stupid, but I don't really care which one of these is solved first.
Curing any single one of these would be terrific, so I'd just be happy about it

I voted HIV/AIDS, but more specifically I'd like it to be cured by an antiretroviral agent that arises from the synthesis project I've been involved with.
I didn't edit your initial post. I just bolded two parts of it.
I was reading through some of my older posts and came across this. You're so painfully wrong that I want to hurt you right now. In the west, HIV/AIDS is no longer a gay disease and hasn't been for a very long time. I really hope you have the ability to see beyond whatever pretense with which you're viewing the world.
I'm also changing my vote to HIV/AIDS.

AIDS.
Doesn't matter if only the "fringe" people get it (not true, by the way), the fringes are where the nasty diseases start.

Since everyone in my family has either died of cancer or been KIA I vote for cancer.

Stupidity. This thread has some classics symptoms of stupidity, most of which are shown brilliantly by VX250.
