An international team of scientists say a "perfect storm" of population growth, sex and railways allowed HIV to spread.

=====HIV BEFORE THE AGE OF AIDS=====

[https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/aids/virus/origins.html by Mary Carmichael FRONTLINE]

As soon as HIV was identified in 1983, scientists started trying to understand where it had come from, when it had arisen, and why it had spread. Were they too late? To answer most of their questions, they would have had to witness the virus's evolution. Scientists can track new pathogens such as SARS and avian flu because they produce obvious symptoms almost immediately. But HIV is a stealth virus that takes as many as 10 years to present symptoms; by the time researchers knew enough to wonder about its origins, those origins were in the distant past.

In the 1980s and early 1990s, the outbreak of HIV and AIDS swept across the United States and rest of the world, though the disease originated decades earlier. Today, more than 70 million people have been infected with HIV and about 35 million have died from AIDS since the start of the pandemic, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

AIDS does not develop in monkeys

where HIV originated from.

How come?

=====Progress Through Innovation and Activism=====

The first published report of what would ultimately become known as HIV and AIDS appeared in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report in June 1981.1 When these initial cases emerged, very little was known about the disease; it did not have an agreed-upon name, researchers had not yet determined what caused it, there were no tests or recognized treatments, and by the time most patients presented with symptoms, they had only months to live.2
