Your idea that the virus just ‘copied’ some AIDS while it was in a bat or something is highly unlikely, and thoroughly refuted here:

Uh... I didn’t say anything about it being in a bat at the time. I didn’t even say where it might have picked it up. Or if it did. I was just pointing out that RNA viruses can recombine and often do - and that this was just one explanation.
