How Does Hiv & Aids Start?

Yea i know how it could be spread by not using a condom and u have sex with someone that is positive with the deases but how do u start havin it? like does it start from being dirty or what?

no one knows exactly where it came from.

The diease gets passed along from person to person. You could be born with it, if your mom was infected with the virus (but that's not a guarantee that you'll have it.) Otherwise, it's person-to-person transmission.

From what I understand, the HIV virus was the result of humans eating the brains of an infected monkey in Africa (I forget the type of monkey..might have been a chimp and not a monkey, actually.) And then the person-to-person transmission began. How the monkey (or ape) got it, I couldn't tell you!

HIV attacks your immune system... Some people believe it was a genetically engineered disease that was supposed to be used in wars, but some how got out of hand

You can get HIV and AIDS even while using a condom. The HIV and AIDS virus is 10 smaller than the small micro holes in the condom.
