“The HIV/AIDS epidemic began as a localized outbreak in California and New York (not in east Africa, as claimed) and became international within 15 years,..."

Interesting ...this is the first time I've read this theory....I'd be interested in reading the data that supports this statement.

And I wouldn't be surprised if it starts a movement to have the developed world (read "U.S.") become responsible in every way for all the social and financial costs associated with the problem. Another global transfer in the mid-term future? It is too suggestive, as it is written.
You knew that writing off the African debt was not the end of the story, right?

The claim that AIDS comes from America makes Africa the victim and now we're obliged to send a lot more than that $16B I thought we sent there. A curious thought though, how does an urban, gay, intravenous kind of disease get to the remotest parts of Africa?

Actually, AEI is correct. Diagnoses of AIDS first happened in CA and NY. It wasn't immediately called "aids"; BUT world doctors responded with data, identifying Africa with victims having similar "symptoms" as those in California and Nevada. Soonafter, began speculation about "how it came from Africa to the US". Minor voices as to who from CA had been to Africa over the past 5 years.. But ultimately, it became a shouting match over funds as to "who (which country) had AIDS first".

CDC did nothing to quarantine this incurable viral infection early on - no one in national leadership has ever raised this question
elementary vector control is you quarantine disease vectors if you have no cure for communicable disease.
the Holocaust of HIV is directly related to sexual deviants who have never showed remorse for it's spread and to this day continue with sexual acts that insure it's spread..oh sorry hate speech.

Here's a couple of articles that I find very informative.

I don't know how anyone could know.

Before we officially identified it, people simply died of the other related causes. Without a way to identify it, there would be no way to know how long it had existed before and where. In third world countries there's lots of death normally so it is unlikely anything would have looked unusual statistically.
