Most researchers believe that HIV originated in sub-Saharan Africa during the twentieth century;[4] it is now a pandemic, with an estimated 38.6 million people now living with the disease worldwide.[5] As of January 2006, the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and the World Health Organization (WHO) estimate that AIDS has killed more than 25 million people since it was first recognized on June 5, 1981, making it one of the most destructive epidemics in recorded history. In 2005 alone, AIDS claimed an estimated 2.4–3.3 million lives, of which more than 570,000 were children.[5] A third of these deaths are occurring in sub-Saharan Africa, retarding economic growth and destroying human capital. Antiretroviral treatment reduces both the mortality and the morbidity of HIV infection, but routine access to antiretroviral medication is not available in all countries.[6] HIV/AIDS stigma is more severe than that associated with other life-threatening conditions and extends beyond the disease itself to providers and even volunteers involved with the care of people living with HIV

African lonely bush men had sex with monkeys that were infected. Homosexuals in San Francisco wanted big penises, so they had sex with the immigrants from those countries. As a result first aid cases surfaced. People did not know why the gays were dying, because no one really cared about the drug addicts. First tests showed back in 1981 a presence of a new virus from a a gay Stewart that flew around the world and had lots of sex with diff rent partners.

I think you mean Steward, as in flight attendant. I remember when it was first starting in the US, people were calling it "Gay Cancer".
