This is an interesting study. It seems that a single person from Haiti brought AIDS to America in 1969.

| Quote: | | They found that Haiti, which contains more HIV strains than any other country, likely served as a breeding ground for the disease between 1966 and 1969, at which point a single person carried it to the United States. From there, the rest is tragic history. |
99.8% chance. Interesting. I wonder if any of this study could somehow help in any way in finding the cure or whether it's just blaming Haiti for AIDS.

In the past I have seen studies that say it originally came from baboons. And then there is the God thing that it is punishment for a homosexual lifestyle. All these are stupid and I will wait for more info.

So far, this seems to be the study that has the most potential....
