How was HIV started?


Question:


Answers:
The theory rests on facts, and at least a few of them are undisputed -- including, most significantly, HIV's family tree. There are two species of the virus, HIV-1 and HIV-2. The first evolved from a simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) found in chimpanzees, while the second came from an SIV in a type of monkey called the sooty mangabey.

So probably, someone was around an infected monkey, and their blood or body fluids entered their blood stream..and that's how it started.

Of course, someone could never have noticed it, because it can take up to 10 years for symptoms to show.

Other Answers:
the virus originated from some monkeys or apes and they mutated to be compatible with humans.

No really From primates..funny how it spreads, thru those God hates.


Some idiot had sex with a monkey. Than passed it on to a human their after it is only contracted by sexual intercourse by two queers. Except by intravenous use of infected needles or bad blood transfusion.

the human immunodeficiency virus was started in monkeys in the jungles in Africa. Somehow it mutated and became transferred to humans and now is spread through contact with bodily fluids from an infected person From monkeys in Africa.

Scientists have traced HIV to a strain of simian virus almost identical of some that are found in African monkeys. Somewhere along the line the virus mutated slightly so that it could infect humans. This is also they way dangerous strians of the flu spread to humans ( Avion flu, from birds; Swine flu, from pigs, etc.).

Either someone ate/handled (or worse) infected meat from an infected monkey in Africa. This is how the virus originally crossed over to humans. i'm sure it started in africa monkey to man a monkey could have bit the man in the 1950's i think then was passed on i think
