Did gays and lesbians creaate Aids?

Answer 1

No. Gay people did not start AIDS. The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) started AIDS. It originated in non-human primates, especially chimpanzees, and possibly entered the human population because people ate infected chimpanzee meat.

The first observed cases of HIV were gay men, so people once believed gay men started the disease.

Answer 2

No. The disease actually originated in a species of monkey in South America, oddly enough. Most likely, someone was bitten or scratched by a monkey and ended up inadvertently spreading the disease. No one created it.

Answer 3

I have never known anyone who thought that AIDS originally came from gay men. AIDS, or more properly, the HIV virus probably originated as the result of a mutation in a species of African monkey or ape. The monkeys were susceptable to the virus, but the mutation made it susceptable by humans, also.

This is not unlike the swine influenza, which used to be only contracted by swine. Due to some mutation, this virus suddenly became contagious to humans.

A lot of the spread of AIDS in the beginning was due to gay men having unprotected sex with each other, but these days, dirty injection needles and unprotected sex between anyone are large contributors to the contagion. A great many AIDS infections are now being spread by schoolkids and senior citizens. AIDS is normally not easy to contract, but doing the above and other at-risk behaviors makes it much easier.
