The virus first existed as a Simian Inmmunodeficiency Virus, a virus that occurs in more than 20 species of African primates. It is thought that SIVcpz in wild chimpanzees in Southern Cameroon was transmitted to hunters around 1930. The interspecies transmission mutated the virus into HIV-1 Group M, the type of HIV/AIDS virus that is responsible for most cases of AIDS worldwide.

Common sense had the right idea; there is a disease that occurs among chimps, which are sometimes killed and used for food. They call it "bush meat". Obviously, someone liked theirs rare.

It occurred through beastiality -- when a man got horny and had intercourse with a monkey.
That man, then had sex with other humans and it spread from there.
