In what year was the first African identified with HIV in his bloodstream?

Question

This African contracted the HIV virus from a monkey that he had killed for its meat. The monkey's blood got into his bloodstream from an open wound on his body.

Answer 1

In the 1st link below, it is reported that, although, the earliest reported case of AIDS was in 1959-this individual being a seaman from Manchester, England,...that also in 1959 (in regards to your question) scientists found HIV virus in the blood sample taken from a member of the Bantu tribe in Kinshasa of what was then the Belgian Congo (now the Democratic Republic of Congo).
I was unable to find any information on a monkey's blood getting into one's bloodstream through an open wound, however, it is believed by many scientists that the virus spread to humans through the infected meat of monkeys. I guess you could say, monkey's are a staple in Africa, just as beef, chicken, pork, etc., is to us in the U.S.

Abstract: Researchers reported in August that they have discovered evidence that the first case of HIV infection in the U.S. occurred in the 1960s. Frozen serum and tissue samples from a 15-year-old African-American male prostitute were studied, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology was used to analyze gene sequences. The new finding challenges the widely held belief that HIV evolved from the simian immunodeficiency virus and crossed the species barrier from monkeys to humans in the late 1970s. The finding also suggests that HIV may have evolved slowly and been present in humans long before it developed into the current strain of the virus that has resulted in illness and death since the early 1980s.

Answer 3

In 1970.
