HIV, the virus that causes AIDS was first noticed in the early 1980s and it has been a puzzle where it actually came from. There is still a lot of debate about this.
A recent research article reveals that gorillas living in the wild in Central Africa are infected with an HIV-1 related virus. This result was completely unexpected and has got people thinking afresh about the origins of HIV.
This new simian immunodeficiency virus, called SIVgor, is genetically similar to an HIV-1 variant called group O. Although rarely found in humans, this variant has been the source of cases of AIDS. This is prompting researchers to ask more about how immunodeficiency viruses pass between different hosts. Some people believe that an ape form of the virus was transferred to humans just before cases of AIDS first started to come to light in the 1980s. During this transfer, the virus may have mutated and become very infectious between human beings, leading to the AIDS epidemic.

It originated from the U.S government to control the population think about how many years it took for the epidemic to get this far out of control , and if you use a condom during sex it will kill 2 birds with one stone kids and HIV .

HOW MUCH DOES OUR GOVERNMENT NOT TELL US? HIV was a secret experiment and in trials it blew out of control. Its no accident that this virus was activated among the Gay community. Was it done on purpose? YES.
They can not unrig the bell. The truth will come out sooner than later and some heads will roll. Its all homophobia and the manipulating right that's responsible

Actually it originated way before the 1980's. The earliest human form of HIV was found in 1959 from a male in Congo. They think that it may date back farther maybe between 1940-1950. It has existed in the US since the 70's in the form of rare illness, pnuemonia and cancer from male patients that had sex with other males. In 1982 they started to use the word AIDS to describe the syndrome. In 1983 they found out that HIV lead to the AIDS virus. Researchers say that it orginated in chimpanzees and it got into humans by hunters who handled these primates.
