Just out of interest, does anyone know what brought about the creation of this virus?> Its like a myth that it was due to a guy shagging monkeys, is this right?
I'd look on the net but there's so much misinformation..

I've heard it too and always asusmed it was some homophobic rumor. I just don't see how it could be traced back to a single incident. You'd think that guy would have been dead before they even understood the virus, but maybe.

actually i created it in 1967 because there were too many faggoty hippies going about bringing down the nation's moral fabric. Since i am a superior being to those legions of unwashed miscreants, i took it to Africa, knowing they would go there on a pilgrimage (for one of their so-called "heroes", ernesto 'che' guevara, visited the Congo for a guerilla war). those monkey-fuckers caught my disease and spread it through the gay disco shitlickers, as i predicted in my 1971 paper, Those Gay Motherfuckers Are Going To Jive In Hell With Electro-Toms.
Anyway, the rest is history. I am now creating a new disease that targets Moronic Fuckheads who like limp bizkit and slipknot

The most popular theory as to the origin of the disease is that it's a derivitave of SIV {Simian Immunodeficiency Virus} which has been found in primates in western and central Africa. The first case of AIDS was reported in the US in 1981.

The book "The River" is a journalist's theory of how AIDS started. He believes that it was transfered to humans during mass polio vaccinations in sub-saharan Africa. According to his theory, parts of the vaccine were produced from chimps that were infected with SIV. He is not able to prove this hypothesis 100%, but comes pretty close. That's the synopsis of the whole damn 800 page book. Now you don't have to read it. :)

doesn't it bother anybody how fuzzy the "truth" about AIDS is? what happened to the heterosexual aids epidemic in the US that was predicted in the late 1980's? people, both hetero and homo and are still having unprotected sex... (anybody remember that song "people are still having sex" with the vocals in the cheesy monotone?
what about Africa? why is there such a widespreed epidemic? does everybody do buttsex there? is it because Africans have bigger penises which cause more bleeding that helps spread AIDS? why why why???? why does it hurt to ask questions?
i read a decade ago that African nations were exaggerating AIDS deaths, often claiming all deaths under sixty as "probable" AIDS cases... for two reasons...
1) to get money from rich western countries like the USA, these countries are very poor with almost no health care system at all compared to the USA and Europe
2) to deflect the blame from the African governments because the living conditions are terrible and very unhealthy (no safe drinking water, no basic health care for a majority of the population), and put the blame on the people (i.e. its your fault that you were immoral and fucked around and got AIDS). in a lot of areas around Lake Victoria (which in itself is one of the biggest manmade ecological disasters in history), tropical diseases became a very large problem because of various reasons...
most of the nations that have been struck hard by "AIDS" are very poor and have totalitarian oppressive military gov'ts...
so what is the truth...and why is asking these types of questions considered homophobic or hateful?...

According to the book I mentioned, one reason for the proliferation of AIDS among heterosexuals in Africa is the preference for "dry sex." Do a google search to learn more about this fascinating practice.

A lot of articles on the AIDS epidemic in Africa point to the problem of a lack of condom use. There is little safe-sex education there, and most teens ignore it. It really is an epdemic there.

I remember reading something about the creation of aids in a conspiracy magazine. Appearantly they didn't believe that aids was invented by the american government, because at the time it was starting to get out there it was impossible to synthesize or alter a retrovirus. The technology wasn't there. So it wasn't the american government if thats what you are wondering.
