Some monkeys in Africa had a disease (SIV) like AIDS.

It was passed to humans when they killed and ate the monkeys for food.

Or perhaps when they were cutting up the animals and blood moved to an open wound in the butcher.

The disease then mutated slightly and was then passed on from human to human through sexual intercourse and sharing of contaminated needles.
