In humans, they believe the first case to go back to the 1950s.  One theory claims that HIV spread from primates to humans in Africa by people eating uncooked/undercooked primate meat.*  \n\nThree of the earliest known instances of HIV infection are as follows:\n\n   1. A plasma sample taken in 1959 from an adult male living in what is now the Democratic Republic of Congo.\n   2. HIV found in tissue samples from an American teenager who died in St. Louis in 1969.\n   3. HIV found in tissue samples from a Norwegian sailor who died around 1976.\n\n\n\n*Diseases such as HIV spreading from animal to human is rare.  Scientists speculate that this was possible only because of a mutated form of HIV in the primates.

This question about the origins of the HIV virus has been asked (and answered 1000 times) ! But since education about HIV/AIDS is important today, here my Best Answer:\n\nTwo species of HIV infect humans: HIV-1 and HIV-2. HIV-1 is thought to have originated in southern Cameroon after jumping from wild chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes troglodytes) to humans during the twentieth century. HIV-2 may have originated from the Sooty Mangabey (Cercocebus atys), an Old World monkey of Guinea-Bissau, Gabon, and Cameroon. HIV-1 is the most 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. \n\nAs far as prevention, I suggest you click the second link below:

The exact answer to this question is "yes" as everyone is gonna die sooner or later ! ;)\n\nwell, if someone is infected by HIV, he can still live 5 years with no clue that he got aids.\nafter this 5 years, things begin to appear. then if he/she caught a cold for example they might die.\nbut this is not for sure. u can be infected with AIDS and live a long life !

According to WHO guideliness, HIV antibody should seen in the blood in one year. So it is possibile to not to see HIV antibody until one year. But it doesn't observed that tehre is no HIV antibody after one year.

HIV can be in your body for up to 12 years before starting to replicate, some symptomes could start as flu like symptoms so it's good if you check with your doctor, for any concerns that you might have.

You can live a long time with HIV, it is not until you get AIDs that you will die.  So I guess if it never turned to AIDs, which I believe is impossible, you could live a long life, coming to a natural death.

There is no test for AIDS.  You can get a test for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.  It can take up to 6 months for enough antibodies to HIV to build up in the body for an HIV test to be reliable.  If you are worried that you have done things that put you at risk, like having sex with multiple partners,  shooting drugs or sex with people you do not know, I would recommend you be tested every six months.  I would also recommend learning more about HIV/AIDS and perhaps going to an agency in your community where you can ask questions in a private and confidential setting.  Check out this website for more information about HIV/AIDS, how to stay safe and where you can go for testing:  http://www.hivtest.org/index.htm \n\nI lost a friend to AIDS and I promised her that I would continue to educate people about prevention as she did before she died.  She was a lovely woman who dedicated the last months of her life to educating our community about HIV/AIDS and the importance of testing.  I miss her a whole lot.

34,707,817 \nnote: estimates for this country explicitly take into account the effects of excess mortality due to AIDS; this can result in lower life expectancy, higher infant mortality and death rates, lower population and growth rates, and changes in the distribution of population by age and sex than would otherwise be expected (July 2006 est.)

My answer was inacurate, the two answers following however quoted an excellent article. To save others the effort I will put the link in here. This article does an excellent job explaining the origions of HIV and the few places I have checked to verify the information contained in the article have checked out.

hiv is the virus. aids is the disease that stems from the virus.hiv is a virus that kills your immune system slowly.

Human immunodeficiency virus, commonly known by the initialism HIV, formerly known as HTLV-III and lymphadenopathy-associated virus, is a retrovirus that primarily infects vital components of the human immune system such as CD4+ T cells, macrophages and dendritic cells. It also directly and indirectly destroys CD4+ T cells. As CD4+ T cells are required for the proper functioning of the immune system, when enough CD4+ T cells have been destroyed by HIV, the immune system functions poorly, leading to the syndrome known as AIDS. HIV also directly attacks organs, such as the kidneys, the heart and the brain leading to acute renal failure, cardiomyopathy, dementia and encephalopathy. Many of the problems faced by people infected with HIV result from failure of the immune system to protect from opportunistic infections and cancers.\n\nHIV is transmitted through direct contact of a mucous membrane with a bodily fluid containing HIV, such as blood, semen, vaginal fluid, preseminal fluid or breast milk. This transmission can come in the form of: penetrative (anal or vaginal) sex; oral sex; blood transfusion; contaminated needles; exchange between mother and infant during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding; or other exposure to one of the above bodily fluids.\n\nAIDS is thought to have originated in sub-Saharan Africa during the twentieth century [13] and is now a pandemic. At the end of 2004, UNAIDS estimated that nearly 40 million people were currently living with HIV [14]. The World Health Organization estimated that the AIDS epidemic had claimed more than 3 million people and that 5 million people had acquired HIV in the same year. Currently it is estimated that 28 million people have died and that it is set to infect 90 million people in Africa, resulting in a minimum estimate of 18 million orphans in Africa alone

Usually an HIV+ person is considered to have Aids when her CD-4 count is 200 or below. That's when most doctors start prescribing an Antiretroviral Treatment to boost the immune system and control the Viral Load. Many HIV+ people have been on treatment now for 18-20 years.\n \nWhat is important for your sister is to find a good treating doctor and to pay a special preventive attention to her immune system by mean of a healthy lifestyle, so that she can delay as much as possible the start of an Antiretroviral Treatment. Regular Western Blott test should be taken every 3 months.\n\nHIV/AIDS is not a death sentence these days! But it has to be well managed to insure longevity and quality of life.

AIDS is no longer a gay disease. Trust westerners to be so incredibly insular in their understanding. More heterosexual people have AIDS on a global scale. It affects everyone and not just 'sexually immoral' people.
