MattDaMan	It originated from somewhere. Don't know where though, and whoever has said that without enough evidence to back it up is really inconsiderate. I've never heard of this said before though, it may be true, it may not be. The AIDS problem in Africa is publicised a lot so it's easy to assume that it originated from there, but it could have come from anywhere in the world realistically. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Meichelle	NO!! Aids don't come from black people. No one knows where it came from! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Richard S	What? Where did that come from? I was under the impression that AIDS was a genetic disease, and that race doesn't have much to do with it. Certain factors may contribute to a higher black population with AIDS, but when it comes down to it it really doesn't matter who you are. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

bonstermonster20	It is said that it originated in Africa from primate to human contact. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

pensk8r	HIV, the infectious agent of AIDS, is thought to have originated in non-human primates in sub-Saharan Africa and transferred to humans during the 20th century. The epidemic officially began on 5 June 1981. Two species of HIV infect humans: HIV-1 and HIV-2. HIV-2 may have originated from the Sooty Mangabey (Cercocebus atys), an Old World monkey of Guinea-Bissau, Gabon, and Cameroon.[1] HIV-1 is more virulent. It is easily transmitted and is the cause of the majority of HIV infections globally. HIV-2 is less transmittable and is largely confined to West Africa. A variety of theories exist explaining the transfer of HIV to humans, but no single hypothesis is unanimously accepted, and the topic remains controversial. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Lucy	Where on earth did you get the idea that AIDS comes from black people ? Hope you are having protected sex 'cause that cute white girl you saw last night in the bar might just be your death sentence. Better do some reading.......'cause your information is all wrong.

Michael A	I am made to believe that HIV/AIDS came from whites mating dogs, cats etc and spread to Africa through prostitutes Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Ian D	Read.... From.... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12966623/ "The first human known to be infected with HIV was a man from Kinshasa in the nearby country of Congo who had his blood stored in 1959 as part of a medical study, decades before scientists knew the AIDS virus existed." "Presumably, someone in rural Cameroon was bitten by a chimp or was cut while butchering one and became infected with the ape virus. That person passed it to someone else." I don't know whether or not the race of this person, who was originally infected, has ever been published or even known. Of course, being from Cameroon, there's an obvious possibility he could've been black, since blacks make up the majority. Regardless, race is not the issue. Why would it matter? Anyone who would blame a race for any disease is an ignorant xenophobe without the ability to reason. I've read that some people have tried to pin the blame on some tribal ritual that involved beastiality. I've come to find out there is no evidence to support this idea and infact, beastiality is a very rare occurance among african tribes. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Texas Chick	Ummm, I think there's evidence that white people have/had it too. If you mean where it's originated. Some say it came from a lab, vaccines in Africa, monkeys. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

SparklingH2O	Thats ridiculous! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

SaRaH	it could have come from any ethnic, Just because it is more common in black communities/countries people often assume that it has come from a black person! I've not heard of any evidence, i think it's probably someone racist who has come up with this conclusion! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Nommo	You really are a fool if you believe that. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Jenyfer C	Good grief. Not true. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

DimBlonde	It comes from monkeys/chimps, to us via Africans. Please do some extensive research on the internet. All information is available, including all the research ever done by all the world's leading medical and scientific institutions. Take a few hours, days or weeks out and find out for yourself. On here you will only get opinions or very brief questionable answers. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

writenimage	um. no it doesnt. there is evidence that it may have come from primates in africa, but it does not come from black people. Africans may have been some of the first exposed, but it doesn't mean it came from them. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ForensicAccountant	ummm Aids stems from Monkeys, not persons of African descent. The first published article related to AIDS was in 1981. The principal author’s name was Michael Gottlieb and it appeared in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report for June 5th. This article reported that there was a random increase in pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP), a rare lung infection. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention noticed it when a drug technician named Sandra Ford noticed that there was an unusually high number of requests for the drug that treated PCP. "A doctor was treating a gay man in his 20s who had pneumonia. Two weeks later, he called to ask for a refill of a rare drug that I handled. This was unusual - nobody ever asked for a refill. Patients usually were cured in one 10-day treatment or they died."-Sandra Ford for Newsweek A short while later, on July 3rd, another article reported eight outbreaks of Kaposi’s Sarcoma (KS) in young homosexual males in New York. This was surprising because Kaposi’s Sarcoma was a rare form of cancer that normally showed up in older people. At this time, the medical community realized that a new disease was probably heading their way. In 1982, the term Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome is used for the first time. The name was designated by the CDC. That year there were 1600 people diagnosed with the disease and almost seven hundred deaths. The CDC task force on KSOI had traced forty patients suffering from KSOI to a single person, called Patient Zero. Because of this, they realized that the disease was sexually transmitted. The disease also showed up in IV drug users and hemophiliacs. The first case of heterosexual transmission was diagnosed in 1983. “The doctors thought 'AIDS' suitable because people acquired the condition rather than inherited it, because it resulted in a deficiency within the immune system, and because it was a syndrome, with a number of manifestations, rather than a single disease.” Although AIDS had a name, no one knew what the causes and tests for AIDS were. The race was on to discover what caused AIDS. In 1983, French scientists at the Institute Pasteur found a new virus that they called lymphadenopathy-associated virus or LAV. About a year later, Dr. Robert Gallo, of the National Cancer institute discovered HLTV-III. The first discovery was made in France at the Institute Pasteur, but shared credit is given to Dr. Robert Gallo, the discoverer of AIDS and his French counterparts for discovering HIV on April 23, 1984. In 1985, doctors came up with a test to identify who had AIDS and which donated blood had the AIDS virus. At this time, scientists knew that not only homosexuals got it, but also anyone exposed to the virus from blood or body fluids could get it too, including newborn babies and children.

dave w	are you confusing AIDs with HIP HOP? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

onlymatch4u	It is a well know fact now where aids came from. The Merck company that makes many vaccines created the problem. They developed a new polio vaccine and to do this, they had to kill about 50,000 rhesus monkeys to make the serum. The monkeys had a precursor HIV virus in the blood of some of the monkeys. The Merck company did not know the virus was in there and their filters did not get rid of it. The vaccine was given to so called high risk people in South Africa, New York, and San Francisco. Aids did not start from one individual playing with monkeys. To reach epidemic proportions like it has, there had to be this kind of action happen. Many vaccines have been promoted as good that are actually creating many problems for the human race. Dr. Timothy O'shea wrote a great paper on vaccines that gives great statistics and information. You can access some of that paper at: http://www.mercola.com/2001/may/30/vaccine_safety.htm Aids did not come from black people; it came from the Merck Corporation. Why do you think the American Government is giving so much money to help stop the problem and why is the Merck company trying to develop a vaccine for this? Money doesn't talk, it screams!
