This confirms earlier studies of HIV-1 in humans that traced it back to Cameroon or southern Nigeria just across the border. This study traces it back to a variant of SIV in one small population of chimpanzees in Cameroon.

A quick search on google will reveal a conspiracy that states HIV origins was made-man at Fort Detrick, Maryland or unintentionally injected into "high risk groups" during an 1974 Hepatitis B trials vaccination program done by the NIH geared toward gay men, injected drug users, some health care workers and prison workers.
Some state that HIV is a hybrid virus or recombinant meaning two seperate viruses superinfected the same cell and recombined RNA strands into a new hybrid virus. They reason HIV cannot be traced due to theory and the evolution which has taken place. This can easily be done in chicken embryos which are the standard for reproducing live virus. The National Institute of Health(N.I.H) did infact derive early polio vaccinations from monkeys and also derived the early experimental Hep B vaccinations from internal monkey organs such as the liver which is known to be filled with SIV in alot of wild green african monkeys. I would put my money on conspiracy theory #2 which is the HEP B vaccination program/early polio that explains why certain groups were the first to show signs of infections. This is an accidental theory as we weren't aware of SIV at the time and might have made a recombinant virus even. Hunter theories and others exist but doesn't properly explain the patterns of infection. |

Rbolo28, what then can be found on E-bola with suspected primate source......fortunately that one is too fast, for the infected to even carry it to larger population concentrations......read one of Tom Clancy's novels!
----------------------------------------That Fort Detrick theory is an old one.....a variation though was that they tested in Africa first (something some pharmaceutical was accused of on doing again a few weeks again). Some are throwing RNAi around.....well my view on this is, that humans will create a RNA (accidently?) that will be worse than a combo of HIV and Ebola or the like. GM manipulated foodstuffs / Gene therapy......we cant even begin to understand what we're letting loose in nature and interfering in evolution....no and i'm agnostic, so can hope, but not pray.
