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.

Aids or Auto Immune Disease was originally isolated in monkeys in Africa. It first surfaced amongst Men of Polynesian persuasion, but this was mainly due to the fact that Polynesians were part of the original monkey collection maintenance crew in Africa.
It is thought that Aids was an experimental disease being researched for military purposes, but so far this has not been proved. America was certainly involved in this catastrophe as were some other countries.
It is assumed some of the crew of this research passed H.I.V onto women of the local population as Africa has one of the highest incidences of H.I.V.
Longer establishment = greater the epidemic. It easily became Pandemic because of the ability of people to freely travel without check in the early stages of this disease getting established.
Sexual Intercourse and even kissing can pass on the HIV virus between an infected host and a participant. It has now become rampant and is being transmitted by contact with any body fluids. Blood transfusions have been the most devastating method of infection as blood is being donated and distrubeted all the time.
Many Africans and Biafrans were selling their blood onto the market to raise money to live, that is how a lot of this virus was spread around.
Today blood donors are screened regularly, but becausde the virus may be inactive and lie dormant as well as only affecting some as carriers it is still hard to determine that blood will be contamination free.
Homo sexulas were castigated for the spread with having unprotected anal sex. However, this is not the main source of spread by any means. Many women are also infected by men who have been associated with other women who are carriers or are unaware they even have the disease.
Thi is not to say that homosexuals are responsible for most of the spread of this disease, but theyhave certainly contributed to it by having unprotected sex and failing to advise many of their partners that they are infected.

The AIDS epidemic was discovered June 5, 1981, when the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported a cluster of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (now classified as Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia) in five homosexual men in Los Angeles.[8] The disease was originally dubbed GRID, or Gay-Related Immune Deficiency, but health authorities soon realized that nearly half of the people identified with the syndrome were not homosexual men. In 1982, the CDC introduced the term AIDS to describe the newly recognized syndrome, though it was still casually referred to as GRID.

You do know there spell check and the grammar is so bad its hard to read. But it is though t to have originated from monkey then to homosexuals. People get it from mixing body fluids.

The homosexuals were responsible for bringing it into the world from their filthy lifetstyle, and for spreading it into the general population eventually.
•Homosexuals were responsible for spreading AIDS in the United States, and then raised up violent groups like Act Up and Ground Zero to complain about it. Even today, homosexuals account for well over 50% of the AIDS cases in the United States, which is quite a large number considering that they account for only 1-2% of the population.
•It takes approximately $300,000 to take care of each AIDS victim, so thanks to the promiscuous lifestyle of homosexuals, medical insurance rates have been skyrocketing for all of us.
• Many homosexuals don't pay heed to warnings of their lifestyles: "Knowledge of health guidelines was quite high, but this knowledge had no relation to sexual behavior."
