Question

22 year old student of social work department jamia millia islamia new delhi india

Answer 1

it is viewed as being a crossover simian virus
originating in africa
and the disease itself has probably been around
for at least 200 years.

this much, i do know.
the first confirmed case in the u.s. was in 1959.
a sailor died at a hospital in st. louis.
they felt his case warranted saving tissue samples
and records of his case in as much entirety as possible.
at that time , the health care people knew they were
seeing something that added up to something.
years later the samples were run and the experts confirmed
it was aids.

Answer 2

As to what Ive heard,
first case recorded in new york by a gay french man.
AIDS has been traced to monkeys in africa.
How the gay french man got it from monkeys is open to speculation, although perhaps there have been other developments in tracing its source or mutation to infect human. There is some story about people from Europe coming and sharing many needles in an area of deforestation to innoculate locals and laborers in Africa to give them vaccines during some sort of a logging operation. This seems to be a nice fitting puzzle piece that has been speculated. Perhaps someone has already connected all the dots by now. But, I figure just wear a condom and try not to get into heroine if you can at all avoid doing so and you'll be just fine.

Answer 3

Central Africa circa 1957

Mutated Simian Immunodeficiency Virus became HIV.

Although patient zero played a crucial role in the spread of the disease in the United States, he was incidental to the global epidemic.

Answer 4

The disease originally started from Africa

The first person (called Patient Zero) diagnosed with HIV/AIDS was a gay Canadian flight attendant named Gaëtan Dugas (February 20, 1953—March 30, 1984 [1]).

Answer 5

It was traced back to Africa. The government over there tried to say it was spread by mosquitoes not through sexual contact.
They think it was originally from monkeys. No man didn't have sex with it! But they eat their brains over there and they think a hunter had a cut and got some of the blood of the animal in his cut.

Answer 6

In Africa I think. It is usually spread through homosexual behaviour plus sharing infected needles, piercings, and tattooing.
