The AIDS virus seems to trick the body into attacking itself, an AIDS researcher said today.
In a report that challenges prevailing views of how AIDS develops, the researcher, Dr. John Ziegler, said scientists might have to develop drugs that suppress the immune system rather than enhance it.
Dr. Ziegler, director of the AIDS Research Center at the University of California in San Francisco, writing in the medical journal Clinical Immunology and Immunopathology, suggested that the virus triggers the disease when it tries to mimic the tiny portions on certain immune system cells that the body recognizes as ''self.''
When the body mounts an attack against the virus it mistakenly attacks these cells as well as the virus, he said.
''Internal mutiny is triggered by this virus,'' said Dr. Ziegler, ''because what you see in the early stages of AIDS isn't an immune deficiency but an immune system in overdrive.''

Occured? It started off with one doctor (polish?) or whatever he called himself many many years ago when went to Africa and did some experimenting on monkeys, something to do with immune or something. His medicine was suppose to cure what he started but never. And of course the animals were eaten by people and the rest of this fact is history. Aids kills the white cells in the body the cells which are fighting cells against any thing from bacteria to viruses. If your white cells gets low, the more likely that you are vulnerable to diseases.

it doesn't occur... it's transmitted through sexual intercourse with somebody who had AIDS, or perhaps through any blood contact with people who have aids. Remember, AIDS is in the blood.
If what you're asking is how AIDS started... do your own research..

It is a sexually transmitted disease that first emerged in African countries. It was planted there about after the American war fiasco back in the '60-ies, or so.

AIDS comes from the HIV (Human Immunodefiency Virus) virus. HIV is spread through sexual contact, when the sexual fluids come into contact with you.
