There is of course the conspiracist theory, that i suspect might be what you have heard, that is, that it was created by man to wipe out the black races.
So how long have chimps been around with natives? I presume it was first contracted from chimps to human, as you say. How long this virus been in chimps? Then when did it first appear in humans to be noted?? We been here a long time hundreds and hundreds of years and HIV in human from chimp in last 40 yrs maybe? Things dont add up or did the Virus just appeared in chimps from where?? and was this last 40yrs maybe with brand new virus that spread to humans by the thousands so speedily without anyone knowing about it until too late??. Something not right really Reg too many red flags with question markes smothered over them. I wouldnt say was to wipe a black race but questions and people lifes are less thought of in certain parts of the world and testing in those countries is happening Reg not conspiracy but a fact stated by the subjects themselves.
