The AIDS epidemic was discovered June 18, 1981, when the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention reported a cluster of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (now classified as Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia) in five gay men in Los Angeles. Originally dubbed GRID, or Gay-Related Immune Deficiency, health authorities soon realized that nearly half of the people identified with the syndrome were not gay. In 1982, the CDC introduced the term AIDS to describe the newly recognized syndrome.\nThree of the earliest known instances of HIV infection are as follows:\nA plasma sample taken in 1959 from an adult male living in what is now the Democratic Republic of Congo. \nHIV found in tissue samples from an American teenager who died in St. Louis in 1969. \nHIV found in tissue samples from a Norwegian sailor who died around 1976. Two species of HIV infect humans: HIV-1 and HIV-2. HIV-1 is more virulent and more easily transmitted. HIV-1 is the source of the majority of HIV infections throughout the world, while HIV-2 is less easily transmitted and is largely confined to West Africa.[88] Both HIV-1 and HIV-2 are of primate origin. The origin of HIV-1 is the Central Common Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes troglodytes). It is established that HIV-2 originated from the Sooty Mangabey (Cercocebus atys), an Old World monkey of Guinea Bissau, Gabon, and Cameroon. Freelance journalist Tom Curtis discussed one currently controversial possibility for the origin of HIV/AIDS in a 1992 Rolling Stone magazine article. He put forward what is now known as the OPV AIDS hypothesis, which suggests that AIDS was inadvertently caused in the late 1950s in the Belgian Congo by Hilary Koprowski's research into a polio vaccine. Although subsequently retracted due to libel issues surrounding its claims, the Rolling Stone article motivated another freelance journalist, Edward Hooper, to probe more deeply into this subject. Hooper's research resulted in his publishing a 1999 book, The River, in which he alleged that an experimental oral polio vaccine prepared using chimpanzee kidney tissue was the route through which SIV crossed into humans to become HIV, thus starting the human AIDS pandemic.

Thousands of people are suffering from HIV/AIDS. Plus, half of the infected people are in treatment. Plus, Mandela, the president is doing something about it and the government. I need 10 points. \nI'm in a competition. LOL

as a person that is HIV+ please listen to this... its not 6 months anymore. The CDC recommends 13 weeks but the ELISA and Western Blot test can detect the virus much sooner. Until you find out your results please make sure that you are protecting not only yourself but the ones whom you engage in relations with. And as far as Post Exposure Prophalaxis is concerned it hasn't been proven to be 100 % effective and generally is done with rape victims only.

i live in south africa, that willhelp very much!!!  But our government cant even get antiretroviral drugs to help people with aids to them, how will they get a vaccine to them?  Our health minister promotes the eating of garlic as a cure against aids and our former vice president said that if you showered after having sex you reduce your chances of getting aids.  Heaven help my country

Africa has been devastated by AIDS. Thailand has a 40% infection, the Caribbean Islands are awash in AIDS, especially Haiti. You will find the nations with the least financial ability to be the highest in AIDS and STDS...cannot afford meds or protections...even education seems to be an overwhelming problem in these countries.
