AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) is a disease involving the immune system weakening, which often results in cancer or other serious diseases. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a viral infection that, if left untreated, may cause AIDS. HIV was first observed by doctors in America in 1981, but was likely dormant long before that.

It has occurred on record only a few times in history, then again AIDs was only recognized by the US in 1981, which isn't a long history of awareness. It is possible, but based on current knowledge, very unlikely.
