Depends on who you talk to.
The accepted theory: AIDS originated and mutated in a subspecies of chimpanzees in Africa. It crossed species over to humans in bites.
Another theory: A scientist developed AIDS as a biological euthenasia weapon after receiving funding from the Nixon administration, and was distributed in tainted vaccinations to the homosexual population in Hepatitis B vaccine and to Africans in smallpox vaccination by the World Health Organization (WHO). Documents released due to the Freedom of Information Act by the DOD in 1970 state that a synthetic agent could have been developed in 5-10 years that 'does not naturally exist and for which no natural immunity could have been acquired.' It is stated that shortly after this time period the WHO provided Hep B vaccinations in several now AIDS ridden cities, in which the ads specifically asked for promiscuous homosexual males. Also, in the WHO's own publication, they stated...'it is possible that biological agents may be used tactically, rather than strategically, to achieve the simultaneous infection of key groups of people, and the military consequences might well be of major importance'... (March 1970)
Theory three: AIDS is not caused by a virus at all but by overuse of drugs, both legal and non.
Theory four: AID is not caused by the HIV virus but a mycoplasma.
We can't tell you what to believe, and unless something unexpected happens we'll never really know for sure. That is, unless you believe in heaven, and that you're going there.
What do I believe? Its here, its not going away and we need to learn how to deal with it and treat it, hopefully find a cure, and if not at least improve the life quality of those infected.

No, it's a monkey virus. When native hunters go out for "bush meat" they can drag back who knows what kind of infections. Viruses that were hidden from people are now out in the open. The same thing happened with Ebola. The difference between the two is that Ebola is easily passed from person to person and kills rapidly. In an isolated community, the community will die and not pass the infection farther. With AIDS, there's a long period during which a person is seemingly healthy but able to spread the virus. Even though it requires intimate contact, the latency is so long that spreading it to others is probable. This doesn't only happen in deepest, darkest Africa. In the US, we have rabies. Deer hunters didn't have to worry about that until a 12 year old boy field dressed a rabid deer and died. Now hunters are encouraged to get a rabies pre-exposure shot. That doesn't work with AIDS because they haven't found a vaccine yet.
We go out into the wildest places of the world searching for plants, fungi, bacteria that can cure disease. And we discover new ones all the time. Doesn't it make sense that we'll also be finding diseases out there that we were previously unaware of?
There are some who want to think AIDS is a human invention because they want to think that nature is benevolent. It isn't. Nature is completely amoral.
