Where did AIDS come from??.?

I have wondered for long where this desease came from? Is it true that Whites created this AIDS to wipe out the Africans? Iam saying this coz some whites medics went to Africa and injected hundreds of children with the Aids virus coz they were doing a research and dint get permision from anyone to do that, they just did it. how did AIDS start?

HIV is a lentivirus, and like all viruses of this type, it attacks the immune system. Lentiviruses are in turn part of a larger group of viruses known as retroviruses. The name 'lentivirus' literally means 'slow virus' because they take such a long time to produce any adverse effects in the body. They have been found in a number of different animals, including cats, sheep, horses and cattle. However, the most interesting lentivirus in terms of the investigation into the origins of HIV is the Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV) that affects monkeys.
So did HIV come from an SIV?

It is now thought that HIV came from a similar virus found in chimpanzees.

It is now generally accepted that HIV is a descendant of a Simian Immunodeficiency Virus because certain strains of SIVs bear a very close resemblance to HIV-1 and HIV-2, the two types of HIV.

HIV-2 for example corresponds to SIVsm, a strain of the Simian Immunodeficiency Virus found in the sooty mangabey (also known as the green monkey), which is indigenous to western Africa.

The more virulent strain of HIV, namely HIV-1, was until recently more difficult to place. Until 1999, the closest counterpart that had been identified was SIVcpz, the SIV found in chimpanzees. However, this virus still had certain significant differences from HIV.
What happened in 1999?

In February 1999 a group of researchers from the University of Alabama1 announced that they had found a type of SIVcpz that was almost identical to HIV-1. This particular strain was identified in a frozen sample taken from a sub-group of chimpanzees known as Pan troglodytes troglodytes, which were once common in west-central Africa.

The researchers (lead by Paul Sharp of Nottingham University and Beatrice Hahn of the University of Alabama) made the discovery during the course of a 10-year long study into the origins of the virus. They claimed that this sample proved that chimpanzees were the source of HIV-1, and that the virus had at some point crossed species from chimps to humans.

Their final findings were published two years later in Nature magazine2. In this article, they concluded that wild chimps had been infected simultaneously with two different simian immunodeficiency viruses which had "viral sex" to form a third virus that could be passed on to other chimps and, more significantly, was capable of infecting humans and causing AIDS.

These two different viruses were traced back to a SIV that infected red-capped mangabeys and one found in greater spot-nosed monkeys. They believe that the hybridisation took place inside chimps that had become infected with both strains of SIV after they hunted and killed the two smaller species of monkey.
How could HIV have crossed species?

It has been known for a long time that certain viruses can pass between species. Indeed, the very fact that chimpanzees obtained SIV from two other species of ape shows just how easily this crossover can occur. As animals ourselves, we are just as susceptible. When a viral transfer between animals and humans takes place, it is known as zoonosis.

All of you are wrong I have been researching It didn't come from Africa nore from monkey HIV is Cancer thats right cancer. So HIV is not a true virus. It has never been isolated. Report It

How did aids start? I believe aids started around the time when America dropped the Hiroshima bomb in 1945. It was noted that the Americans had issues with locating there enemies so they used chemicals to infect plant cells (really all vegetation), thus making it easier to see the enemy. Report It

How ever with limited amounts of food and no knowledge of this, Asians ate the vegetation. This is when they became infected but did not know. US troops who had sex, and raped the young women became infected as well. Then coming back to the US to their families and spreading the virus. Report It

The people who actually knew what was going on start to cover it up and them point the finger at the GAYS, and then start to frame the BLACKS. This is when Americans introduced the virus to Africans because they wondered why the disease was not spreading in this area. Report It

So where did AIDS come from America, who's past is coming back to hunt them. The Black Prince. Report It

i heard it came from monkeys!

It was in monkeys first. In the 1950s, someone ate an infected monkey, and it mutated in their body. This is not bull--it's the latest scientific explanation being offered.

It might have been a crossover retrovirus from a certain kind of monkey, yet.

This doesn't mean some person had sex with a monkey. All it means is that somehow the virus was transmitted to a human from a monkey, possibly after being bitten.

Monkeys, they eat then in central Africa

AFRICA

I was told, it was developed to deter people from having sex with a same gender partner. It has not worked out that way, and has spread to heterosexual people. Whether this is true or not I do not know. But in past researchers have done many cruel and ugly things to people they considered trash, or disposable.

AIDS came from when a black man had sex with a banana.
and ur mom.
