When was the AIDS/HIV virus created?

i kinda reminded myself a conversation with a friend of mine where he told me that he believe that the AIDS virus was not created by nature but by human experiments and may or may not in an accidental form have been brought upon the human population
and i was wondering if it truly so will it mean that this virus was not known to our ancient ancestors and are there any recordings from the times of their days in which they describe the existence of this virus?
so if you could bring any fascinating facts regarding this or simply tell us your opinion i believe that i would happily accept it

Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) among previously healthy young men in Los
Angeles (1 ). All of the men were described as 鈥渉omosexuals鈥? two had died.
