I heard it started with the monkeys and transfered to man. You can figure it out from there.

It was a virus in chimpanzees that adapted to living in the human body. It is one of the fastest adapting viruses we have identified. That is the reason a vaccine is not yet available. There are several strains that are simply adaptations of one another. Some of the "newer" ones are resistant to the various drug cocktails being used.

I heard it started with monkeys too, then it mutated to get humans.
Im not too sure if we actually had sex with monkeys though.

No, no one screwed a monkey. They ate the improperly cooked flesh in some cases and, in others, the proximity of monkeys and people allowed the virus to cross over and then it mutated to adjust to its new host envirnomet.

Let's face it, if they did they're not going to admit to it! LOL

Then again, you don't know exactly what Sirene's been up to. Hey, if he says he's not sure, I figure it's a definite possibility.

I've been reading a bit about the consipracy side to AIDS....

I've read that it was put into the human population through vaccines... mainly into Africa, as well as the gay population in New York...

If you check out google, you can find out a lot more about this...
