Cuba doesn't even figure in to the "early history" of HIV. The earliest confirmed case in the States was in 1969, twelve years prior to Cochrane's weasely "first noticed cases."

Cuba is the size of Tennessee and had less than one-twentieth the population in 1980. It also had and continues to have among the highest number of doctors per capita in the world.

There's a reason Cochrane mentions Cuba and not, say, China, where quarantine attempts failed.

Previously.
