The rumor is a guy was messing around with a monkey.
actually folks, it was a man had sex with an ape in africa... he also happend to be gay so it spread through the gay community first... why can't it be cured? It's not like any disease we've ever seen before... because it attacks the bodies defense system, no matter how much we build it up, it tears it back down... there is no cure so far, but we might be close to a vaccine
No one knows for sure, but probably it originated in Africa as a virus in monkeys or apes. This virus may have mutated, (changed its genetic material spontaneously) in such a way that it could affect humans. I think there may be a cure already, but u think the gov is gonna tell us.
africa
No acully oR SO SAID THE SCIENCE CAHNNEL in originated in 5 gay men in califronia
It started in Africa in the seventies. The first infected were monkeys... now did sum guy fuk one of these monkeys? i don't kno.

In the West though the gay communities were the first to trully suffer form the epidemic... i think the first person to contract aids and die from it in the US was a homosexual from San Francisco... in the eighties.
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. 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.
The virus crazy as it may sound might have been engineered in a lab either by some accident-most likely or by a genius-unlikely. It has a brain of its own and can adapt and survive in hostile enviroments- though restricted to the inards of a cell....like a clark kent living in a lead house in the middle of a kryptonite forest......first showed up in central africa...around the Congo..the so called ebola belt....I think this is where Lucifer takes a crap..this place has a lot of problems....so it was first seen in the monkey...the people of congo eat monkeys...roasted,basted,spice... pizza with no anchovies...among other creatures....the martians were supposed to land here first but when they saw that they were on the menu the opted for area 51...anyway no one knows exactly where it came from but its cousins..ebola, marburg and the others with similar geneology have family photos!!...
It was first dicovered in 1959 in a man from Africa in Belgian Congo. In USA it was first dicovered in a male flight attendant who flew all round the world and had lots of sexual partners and spread the desease to them
Actually some people said it was man-made. some said it originated from some part of the world but aren't final..so it's
Aids is the fruit of our deeds.When God Has prohibited sex other then one's husband or wife, then there must be some reason behind it.But... No..... we don't listen and just listen to our desires and this leads us towards Aids that is a destruction from God.

Aids is originated from the first male or female who had sex with different partners.

We don't obey God and He brings Aids that has no cure.There are some questions whose answers are with God only.Aids is such a question whose reply is with only God.
From people hunting monkeys in Africa and getting the diease through the blood from chopping them up.
..I have read over all these answers and ......no GOD did not punish US...we punish ourselves..always have...NO someone did not fuk monkeys(unless it was a weekend drunk...YUK) and historically mutations JUST HAPPEN IN BIOLOGY ....PLEASE dont blame HUMAN DESIRES or BEHAVIOUR....our Strongest BIOLOGY is procreational....and {GOD} made it feel VERY VERY GOOD so blame the creator...GREAT CHEMIST EH !...It probably spread as an extremely random incidence that got caught up in the animal kingdom...JUST CHANCE....
and saying AFRICA....isnt that religious racism?
It Did Not Come From A mAn And A monkey. 2 Scientists Created It In A Lab for Bixexual Men So That They Would Stop Havin Sex With Each Other And Those Men Passed It On To More Men And Their Wives And Thats Why They Cant Find A CVure For It Because it was Made In A Lab
Watch a discovery channel show about aids before. It say that that aids come from gorillas in africa. and was spread to the known world by a nun. No one know what the nun was doing with the gorilla. But the nun spread the aids around when she went home to Europe.
It started in Africa. From monkey.
Where did HIV come from?

The most recent presentation on the origin of HIV was presented at the 6th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunitistic Infections (Chicago, January 1999). At that conference, research was presented that suggested that HIV had "crossed over" into the human population from a particular species of chimpanzee, probably through blood contact that occurred during hunting and field dressing of the animals. The CDC states that the findings presented at this conference provide the strongest evidence to date that HIV-1 originated in non-human primates. The research findings were featured in the February 4,1999 issue of the journal, Nature.

We know that the virus has existed in the United States, Haiti and Africa since at least 1977-1978. In 1979, rare types of pneumonia, cancer and other illnesses were being reported by doctors in Los Angeles and New York. The common thread was that these conditions were not usually found in persons with healthy immune systems.

In 1982 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) officially named the condition AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). In 1984 the virus responsible for weakening the immune system was identified as HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus).
