Answer 2

Read the following points, I believe it happend like that:

The origin of AIDS and HIV has puzzled scientists ever since the illness first came to light in the early 1980s. For over twenty years it has been the subject of fierce debate and the cause of countless arguments, with everything from a promiscuous flight attendant to a suspect vaccine programme being blamed. So what it the truth? Just where did AIDS come from?

The first recognised cases of AIDS occurred in the USA in the early 1980s (more about this period can be found on our history page). A number of gay men in New York and San Francisco suddenly began to develop rare opportunistic infections and cancers that seemed stubbornly resistant to any treatment. At this time, AIDS did not yet have a name, but it quickly became obvious that all the men were suffering from a common syndrome. The discovery of HIV, the Human Immunodeficiency Virus that causes AIDS was made soon after. While some were initially resistant to the connection (and indeed remain so today), there is now clear evidence to prove that HIV does cause AIDS. So, in order to find the source of AIDS, it is necessary to look for the origin of HIV, and find out How, When and Where HIV first began to cause disease in humans.

What type of virus is HIV?
HIV is a lentivirus, and like all viruses of this type, it attacks the immune system. Lentiviruses are in turn part of a larger group of viruses known as retroviruses. The name 'lentivirus' literally means 'slow virus' because they take such a long time to produce any adverse effects in the body. They have been found in a number of different animals, including cats, sheep, horses and cattle. However, the most interesting lentivirus in terms of the investigation into the origins of HIV is the Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV) that affects monkeys.

So do't play with monkeys

Have a nice day man

Answer 3

Although a variety of theories exist explaining the transfer of HIV to humans, there is no widely accepted scientific consensus of any single hypothesis and the topic remains controversial.

Freelance journalist Tom Curtis discussed one currently controversial possibility for the origin of HIV/AIDS in a 1992 Rolling Stone magazine article. He put forward what is now known as the OPV AIDS hypothesis, which suggests that AIDS was inadvertently caused in the late 1950s in the Belgian Congo by Hilary Koprowski's research into a polio vaccine.

Although subsequently retracted due to libel issues surrounding its claims, the Rolling Stone article motivated another freelance journalist, Edward Hooper, to probe more deeply into this subject. Hooper's research resulted in his publishing a 1999 book, The River, in which he alleged that an experimental oral polio vaccine prepared using chimpanzee kidney tissue was the route through which simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) crossed into humans to become HIV, thus starting the human AIDS pandemic.

Subsequently, this hypothesis has been refuted by examination of these original polio vaccine stocks and establishing that they do not contain material of chimpanzee origin.

Answer 4

I saw a special this past year on the subject and they said that aids started in Africa.not because of the Africans but because Jonas Salk and other doctors there in the 1950's were testing chimps for possible vaccine for polio and other illness's including a form of virus similar to HIV.some say that during this testing of the chimps and this other virus similar to HIV ,the tissues used may have been somehow transferred to humans and thus the virus that is similar to HIV spread among humans .this virus is called something like HIV but not HIV because the h in HIV means human.sorry that this is not better info but the discovery channel will run these programs again watch for them

Answer 5

Not only AIDS but there are so many diseases like this spread here n there newly with new new names which were not on those days.But it is sure that origin of all these is from'dirt' which may be in different forms.So,cleaniliness is the best way in all means to prevent those.

Answer 6

Long ago when the Whites ruled Africa, a white man entered a little African village and made friends with the local woman and had sex. After-wards he smiled and put his hand into his pockets and took out a one pound note and said here I am giving you AID. The woman smiled and said keep it to yourself I have already given you AIDS.

Answer 7

I have heard some where that it actually originated from Chimpanzees in south africa. you may wonder, how did this virus get transmitted from chimps to humans??? The less said, the better!!

Answer 8

The government invented aids and then blamed it on monkeys from Africa....Well that's what I heard

Answer 9

Theory is that it originated in Africa and was passed from monkeys to man.

Answer 10

No one really knows, but i think its a punishment from God... the bible talks about incurable diseases in the "last days" in the book of revelations.

Answer 11

I think there is no need to know how did it originate. The things is how to prevent it from spreading in humans.
So please be careful.
