There is not such a thing as an AIDS virus. It's the HIV virus, and the title AIDS is the high viral load level of HIV infection. The question has been the subject of quite a bit of discussion. Some claim that it was from sexual contact with other species, some of the more paranoid subscribers to conspiracy theories claim that it was from a government attempt to destroy homosexuals. Pick your theory, I don't think AIDS patient #1 is talking.

∙ 10y agoThe vast majority of AIDS cases result from sexual contact with someone who is HIV positive, meaning that they have the virus in their body even if they have no symptoms. Most sexual transmission occurs when the infected partner does not know they are HIV positive. Most people will never be tested until symptoms of AIDS appear, although some may decide to discover if they are at risk. This is common in the pornography industry to prevent epidemics among the participants.
The second most common way to contract HIV / AIDS is through blood transfusions, or from blood-to-blood exposure to an open wound. A broken syringe or vial can be another means of accidental exposure among healthcare workers.

∙ 10y agoThe very first person was a hunter in Africa who hunted chimps and/or monkeys and got the virus from the blood of that chimp or monkey while cutting it up. Chimps have been infected with a virus similar to HIV and it is thought that it mutated into HIV. Since then, it has become the most common deadly disease in the world. It probably was first seen in the 1940's.
