AIDS was in the heterosexual community before it came to the homosexual community. And why would someone "claim" to be bisexual if they weren't?

AIDS is spread by direct contact, with an open sore, of the bodily fluid or any infected person.
That includes sexual contact of various types (I don;t just mean sexual orientation), by IV drug use, by transfusions and the use of other blood-derived products where the donor is HIV-positive (although this has been tested for in many countries for close to 20 years now) and by transmission through the placenta. This is why AIDS is not just an STD.
The area of the world in which AIDS is growing most quickly is in Africa, where the transmission is almost entirely through heterosexual contact.
Science still hasn't determined precisely where it came from, but all evidence points to a particular breed om simians in Africa. The human index case (first case) was probably a hunter, infected when he butchered an infected animal and some of it's fluid made contact with an open cut.
If you asked your question because you wanted more information, then I hope that this helps you. However, if you asked it as thinly-veiled homophobic comment, get over it.

That it cames from monkeys is a rumor, it's not backed up by scientific evidence.
I saw a documentary which proposed the theory that AIDS came from a vaccine administered to the African population in the 1950s to eliminate Polio. The theory brought up the idea that the vaccine was tainted with a virus developed by the US government that when in the human body mutated to form the AIDS virus. It wasn't necessarily meant to cause AIDS but it mutated and that it was some kind of biological test in a population which was the beginnings of germ warfare.
Try looking it up on the internet. It wasn't through PBS but I'm sure that there's something like that on their website if you browse.

No I don't think so, I believe it may have originated in Africa. Any body can get it through transmission via saliva, sex, and blood transfusion. Publicity has bias against homosexuals which the aids has exist long before the news started blaming homosexuals as the cause. No I'm not gay or bisexual

i think we all ought to abide by the law of nature . god created men and women with two different sexes so it is for a purpose. and remember if we break the law of nature we will have to face the consequence. nowadays with open sexes , prostitution and homosexuality i think it is the main reason for aids spreading. and many such dreadful illness are to come in the future because the world is turning upside down.

It first developed in monkeys. It probably was first transmitted to humans through animal bites. Blood transfusions and sharing needles by drug users are most likely the source of the original spread of the disease, before the medical community really recognized or understood the threat.

AIDS (or HIV in fact) is spread in more ways than through sex.
Nobody knows who infected whom and it has no influence on the illness so your question doesn't really make sense.

Why are you trying to spread hate? You really need an education, Joe. It was never just a homosexual problem, that is just bad propaganda.
