[Phil S.]

Keil, you pose an interesting question; however, some of your background facts are slightly inaccurate. The Tuskeegee ‘experiments’ did not involve the infection of black men with syphallis; rather, they involved a treatment site where some patients were given a cure and some were given a plaecebo — but only black men were given a plaecebo. So while the black men were not infected, they were not cured. A complete lack of medical ethics. Also, AIDS was first detected in the United States. That doesn’t mean that it first appeared in the United States. Keep in mind that with significant medical advancements, a centralized disease reporting system, and a large promiscuous population, made its detection easiest in America. Likely, AIDS first appeared in Africa in the 1950s with possible isolated outbreaks prior to then. I do not suggest that your theory is without merit. Keep in mind that biological ‘warfare’ has been used for millenia by Europeans and was brought to North America by early English settlers who gave blankets to the Native Americans that had been previously used by those with small poxs (it is possible that such a move was merely due to ignorance about small pox’s effect on the Americans, but it is just as likely it was done intentially). But without more than speculation, it seems more likely that the current gene mapping is not a massive conspiracy and that HIV first made a stable leap from chimpanzees to humans (either in the consumption of chimpanzee meat or possibly in the manufacturing of a small pox vacine) sometime in the 1940s or 1950s and from there it was contracted by health workers who brought it back to other parts of the globe.
