  • monkeys

    i have heard, although i dunno if it's really true, that some tribe in africa had a coming-of-age ritual that "involved" young men and female monkeys, and from those encounters AIDS infected the rest of the world. again, i dunno if that's true, it's just something i've heard.

  • Mutation

    The thing I learned in school was that it was a mutation from the monkey virus. That most likley a person that eats raw monkey (this happens) got it and spread it into our species. This one I think makes more sense then a person getting from 'mating' a monkey.

  • To answer your question

    I have heard crazy theories like it was the mating between a monkey and man but I personally, think it is simple. Since the dawn of civilization we have had many plagues and diseases. I think AIDs is an environmentally developed disease that comes from pollution. We alter the earth through science and ultimately it realigns by creating cell destroying organisms and diseases. However, I am not judging science because it is neutral and for the population gains we make using it, mother earth must must counteract science. Therefore, AIDs is mother earth balancing herself against population increase.

  • aids
    i am no expert on this topic. and i can't say it is true or not, but i have this gut feeling that aids is not natural. There is something about the way it effects people, something about it doesn't seem natural to me. It is too different. That is far as i can theorize about aids. I don't know about the rest of the conspiracy theories or about men and monkeys.

  • Looking in the wrong place
    There are some scientific theories about this, this is not a topic of philosophy or theology:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIDS#Origin_of_HIV

    "AIDS was first reported June 5, 1981, when the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recorded a cluster of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (now still classified as PCP but known to be caused by Pneumocystis jirovecii) in five homosexual men in Los Angeles.[126]

    Three of the earliest known instances of HIV infection are as follows:

    1. A plasma sample taken in 1959 from an adult male living in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo.[127]
    2. HIV found in tissue samples from a 15 year old African-American teenager who died in St. Louis in 1969.[128]
    3. HIV found in tissue samples from a Norwegian sailor who died around 1976.[129]"
