Best Answer

Most of the scientific community believes that humans became infected with the HIV via contact with a species of primates (ex. chimpanzees, monkeys) that carry their own version of the HIV virus.

The belief is that someone came into contact with the contaminated meat of an infected primate, or in some other way came into contact with the blood of an infected primate (ex. cut themselves while cutting primate meat), that may have been how the virus was introduced into the human population.
