This could, of course, be all coincidence, but I seriously doubt it. I believe that AIDS and it's percursor HIV, were created by the government to reduce an element of the population it deemed undesirable. Sort of like Hitler's mass murder of the Jews, which he deemed inferior, only without a verifiably bad guy to blame. Below is a short timeline of the outbreak of HIV/AIDS:
1969 Dr. Robert MacMahan of the Department of Defense requests from congress $10 million to develop, within 5 to 10 years, a synthetic biological agent to which no natural immunity exists. 1970 Funding for the synthetic biological agent is obtained under H.R. 15090. The project, under the supervision of the CIA, is carried out by the Special Operations Division at Fort Detrick, the army's top secret biological weapons facility. Speculation is raised that molecular biology techniques are used to produce AIDS-like retroviruses.
1970 United States intensifies its development of "ethnic weapons" (Military Review, Nov., 1970), designed to selectively target and eliminate specific ethnic groups who are susceptible due to genetic differences and variations in DNA.
1975 The virus section of Fort Detrick's Center for Biological Warfare Research is renamed the Fredrick Cancer Research Facilities and placed under the supervision of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) . It is here that a special virus cancer program is initiated by the U.S. Navy, purportedly to develop cancer-causing viruses. It is also here that retrovirologists isolate a virus to which no immunity exists. It is later named HTLV (Human T-cell Leukemia Virus).
1978 Experimental Hepatitis B vaccine trials, conducted by the CDC, begin in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Ads for research subjects specifically ask for promiscuous homosexual men.
1981 First cases of AIDS are confirmed in homosexual men in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco, triggering speculation that AIDS may have been introduced via the Hepatitis B vaccine. 1985 According to the journal Science (227:173-177), HTLV and VISNA, a fatal sheep virus, are very similar, indicating a close taxonomic and evolutionary relationship.
1986 According to the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (83:4007-4011), HIV and VISNA are highly similar and share all structural elements, except for a small segment which is nearly identical to HTLV. This leads to speculation that HTLV and VISNA may have been linked to produce a new retrovirus to which no natural immunity exists.
1986 A report to Congress reveals that the U.S. Government's current generation of biological agents includes: modified viruses, naturally occurring toxins, and agents that are altered through genetic engineering to change immunological character and prevent treatment by all existing vaccines.

How are visna, HIV, HTLV, SIV, etc. related?
Much of the motivation for various theories depends on how close HIV is to visna and other viruses...
To summarize: The viruses described above are all retroviruses. Retroviruses have three subfamilies: Oncoviruses, Lentiviruses, and Spumaviruses. HTLV is a oncovirus, while the remainder are lentiviruses. The analysis of genetic sequences gives strong evidence for the evolution of lentiviruses. They apparently branched into the primate lentiviruses (HIV-1, HIV-2, and SIV), and the nonprimate lentiviruses (visna, BLV, EIAV, FIV, CAEV, etc.) Thus, HIV and visna have many similarities since they are both lentiviruses, but HIV and SIV are much more similar.

Oh yes. I know quite a bit more about it.
Like many other viruses, it was something that crossed over from animals (simians) to humans from eating undercooked meat. They've found archaeological evidence of it as a simian virus that's some 2 million years old. Currently there are two major types of infections: HIV1 and HIV2 and 13 different "clades" (a-m.)
The virus mutates and so there are different "types" in different areas of the world. In Russia, it is being spread very rapidly by HETEROSEXUAL (man-to-woman) sex. The reason it isn't spreading as rapidly here is our public health programs (the reason I know this is that I was doing an evaluation of the data and research at an STD (sexually transmitted diseases) clinic as part of my homework, so right now I'm very familiar with the rate of infection and all that other technical detail.)
The "information" that it was a weapon is totally bogus. Biological weapons spread more efficiently and don't have known single-point sources (one "patient zero") as that's TOO inefficient. Nor do you release a weapon without making sure you're not dropping it on yourself (it's in all countries, all populations, nobody is exempt including the rich.)
You can get all that information at the health clinic. More technical information is found at the CDC (Center for Disease Control) and research data can be found on the PRIMEMED and other databases as well as in a bazillion medical journals.
(and as a "biological population control" it's WAY too inefficient. A simple gun is a much more effective method.)

Thanks for you alls insight. I believe a cure/vaccine is possible and maybe even out there but the government and drug companies would never let it happen. Most disease is probaly like this. I cant believe how much most love capitialism and call communism evil when the system lets this happen. It is sad that population control is on the minds of many, and that some of them have a lot of power.
