A member asked:
What is the source of hiv? did he grow up among men in america? or move from another country?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If memory serves me correctly the first human cases were thought to originate in the Congo, South Africa. Theories at the time involved a virus in primates changing and becoming transmitted to humans. As long as there is international travel there is a chance for any germ worldwide to spread everywhere travel can take it.
