HIV probably jumped from monkeys to humans when a human ate infected monkey meat, or an infected monkey bit a human. This may have happened as early as the 1600s, and the disease was too rare to be noticed until recently.

The monkeys were way out in the jungle, far away from people. People started cutting down the trees and encroaching on them. people always ate bushmeat but now it is out of control. It got to people from a certain population of chimpanzees who got it from eating monkeys themselves. Then it spread like wildfire among the humans and was jetted around the world.

Man had lots of wifes but that was it nothing on the side shared with others and the wifes were virgins for the most part.

People (and viruses) change over time. The HIV virus likely had a "prehistoric" ancestor from which it evolved.
