HIV/AIDS has now been around for more than 20 years, yet there is still a lot of controversy surrounding the origin of the disease. Recent scientific studies have ample evidence to show that the disease jumped from chimpanzees in Africa to humans. Despite this evidence, there is still a lot of controversy surrounding the issues. Books and movies have been released claiming to have evidence showing a pathway that HIV infects humans.
It is fascinating to read the history of the different theories that have arisen. Some are pure speculation, while others have ample evidence to support them.
To learn more about some of the most prominent theories please see Theories on the Origin of HIV.
