Much like the spread of AIDS could be traced to a homo get together on Fire Island in the early 1980s.

I've read a little about the "patient zero" of the U.S. epidemic. He was a flight attendant who was extremely promiscuous wherever he ended up flying overseas. The "gay disease" indeed had a "gay" origin in this country.

Yes he was. And very very promiscuous. But I didn’t recall him being American.
