Is Aids/HIV a man-made disease???

A friend told me this, and she said it was made during slavery days to kill off the black people. Is this really true, because I am shocked never heard this before seeing i am young, if its true... the fact that NO ONE can find a cure for something made by humans is bad. :o

There are many theories about the origin of HIV, but many people in the scientific community believe it was transmitted from monkeys to humans. Anyway, when slavery was around no one knew how to make a disease. There are a lot of AIDS conspiracy theories out there though.

You're friend is either playing a joke on you, or sadly misinformed.

No human "made" HIV. A person contracted HIV several decades ago from an animal.

No, your friend is wrong..... back in the slavery days humans didn't even know bacteria existed much less viruses.

HIV is a virus that causes the disease AIDS. No it is not man made...you're friend was prob. just pulling your leg.

That is NO friend K**L( well get him out of your life) the evil liar for distorting the truth and slimming you with his hatred and bigotry.
It is a variant of an animal Immune virus.
Remember AIDS = 'acquired' immune disease syndrome
and then _ - Hiv ..= Human Immune Virus.
ON top of that the first case was (?) in Canada and with a white man
Get the true facts. don't put up with that dung.

As others have stated, theres many theories as to the origin of HIV. Retroviruses (theres about 3000 catalogued) are generally transmitted vertically and theres only anecdotal data to support otherwise.

pk_dag, anyone can copy paste information. Leave a link, so i can read it myself if i were actually interested. noone is going to read all that crap.

The humans in africa banged some monkeys, came to the US, then banged some humans, and spread the disease.

more like monkey made
