HIV originated from orangutans, and what did the first infected human, really, do to an orangutan?

The spread of AIDS,which began as a result of blood contact with HIV-carrying gorillas,also came from rumors and legends on the ancient African continent.

AIDS, the New Life-Threatening Disease

In ancient times, cholera, smallpox, and malaria were diseases that could kill you in minutes. In the modern world, mankind has eliminated these life-threatening diseases, but there are new diseases that threaten human life. It is in the process of overcoming one disease after another that human beings continue to promote the development of medicine.

Although the ancient disease is gone, but now people all over the world are "talking about AIDS", AIDS has become one of the most important life-threatening viruses. According to statistics, more than 60 million people around the world have been infected with HIV, and 22 million of them have died because of AIDS, and people's fear of AIDS is no less than that of cancer. Moreover, AIDS is incurable and can only be sustained by medication.

AIDS, spread from chimpanzees

Because of the madness and horror of the spread of AIDS, scientists have also done a lot of research to explore where exactly HIV comes from. After all that exploration, the answer was finally found in the chimpanzees of Africa, where all four strains of AIDS come from.

Chimpanzees don't develop HIV even though they have it, because they already have antibodies to AIDS, which naturally don't endanger their lives. But since humans don't have the same AIDS antibodies in their bodies as chimpanzees, naturally when they are infected with HIV, they are unable to fight the virus and eventually die.

So, many people are also curious about how HIV in chimpanzees spreads to people. What contact did people make with chimpanzees that caused HIV to interfere from the animal's body to the human body.

Later, after scientists researched that Central Africa had a particularly high incidence of HIV and a strange custom of chimpanzee predation, it was hypothesized that HIV passed from chimpanzees to humans.

Blood Transmission of AIDS

Since the two main modes of transmission of AIDS are blood and sexual transmission, it can also be hypothesized that the first person to contract AIDS may have been cross-infected with chimpanzee blood.

While the world's first person with AIDS was discovered in 1981, it was in the United States. But HIV spread in the Central African countries of Rwanda and Chad.

Because in the tribes of the Central African region, a rumor was spreading that if you drank the blood of a chimpanzee, who was as strong as an ox, you would gain divine power. The African tribesmen who heard these rumors went crazy hunting chimpanzees and drank their blood, and the hunters came into contact with blood containing AIDS during their fights with the chimpanzees. After that, the people infected with AIDS went to other places to make a living, and in this way spread the virus by passing it from one person to another, and the HIV virus spread widely all over the world.

AIDS RELATIONSHIP SPREAD

French researchers also learned by chance that some tribesmen in Central Africa have even more bizarre customs, such as injecting the blood of male and female chimpanzees into the thighs and backs of men and women, respectively, to stimulate sexual desire. Some tribesmen also use this method to treat diseases such as infertility and impotence. Many scientists believe this is how AIDS spread to humans.

Scientists believe that an African hunter may have contracted HIV in the 1920s when he forced an orangutan to have sex with himself, and there have been news reports in Africa of chimpanzees in heat, forcing humans to have sex with them.

In the 1950s, since sterilization was not required. Cheap disposable plastic syringes began to be used on a wide scale. Disposable syringes in economically underdeveloped Africa could be used thousands of times by people, and this allowed HIV to spread wildly among indigenous African populations.

AIDS can be spread by way of intimate behavior. Scientists, based on historical accounts and observations of indigenous African people, probably around 1920, contracted HIV from chimpanzees that African hunters likely forced to have sex with them.

As you can see, ignorance caused the unbridled and wild spread of AIDS.

World's First AIDS Patient

In 1981The world's first AIDS patient was French-Canadian pilot Gaetan Duga , found in the United States.

Gaetan Duga was a homosexual who, although tall, handsome and very attractive in appearance, was into homosexuality, and almost all the homosexuals in the United States knew about him and had intimate behavior with him.

At the same time, Gaetan Duga, the pilot, also had a sociopathic and psychopathic personality, and was interested in spreading the HIV virus in himself to others. He himself estimated that he had sex with 100 partners a year, and since 1972 has had over 2,500 partners across North America. So, his crazy behavior has also contributed to the crazy spread of HIV around the world.

So where did the HIV in Gaetan Duga come from. Though he was the world's first AIDS patient, he was not the first human being to be infected with the disease. Perhaps his relationship as a pilot, coupled with his private life which was also a bit messy, may have spread HIV from Africa to the world in the course of his journey there.

Conclusion

Now HIV is like an open Pandora's Box, and people all over the world are threatened by HIV. In 1985, the first case of HIV in China was a foreigner who traveled to China and was diagnosed with HIV during his treatment in China.

Since that first case, HIV has spread throughout the country, and men, women and children are not immune to the disease.

Now that how HIV is transmitted is known, it is possible to stop the spread of the disease.

But no drug or treatment has yet been found to completely cure AIDS. For now, people can only attempt to find ways to minimize HIV, such as cocktail therapies to alleviate the symptoms of AIDS and reduce the pain in AIDS patients. Most importantly, people are also looking forward to the continuous progress of medical technology to defeat the demon of HIV, so that people all over the world can enjoy the right to life and health!
