I think you misunderstand population control.
ANY population will run into problems when it grows large enough. It is inevitable, and it has nothing to do with a deliberate attempt by 'something' to control the population. AIDS is a real problem, but it is not nearly as bad as many of the epidemics that plaqued humanity when the population was a fraction of what it is now.
As far as population control....most populations are self regulating--they get bigger until they 'stabilize' with a birthrate roughly equal to the death rate (I am aware of the simplifications I am making). Humans are still in that growth phase. We have learned to adapt in ways that remove most of the problems that may have existed in the past, so now our population is adjusting to the new level that can be supported.
