As far as I have read I understand that AIDS started manifesting itself simultaneously in New York City and in Africa. Impossible to track down the first case because if people died from it before the diagnostic tests were avaliable and anyone knew what people were dying from.
I don't think there is any sort of higher plan involved, but diseases that kill people are part of human evolution. There is a wonderful book called The Coming Plague by Laurie Garret that talks all about this sort of thing. Just be nature of the shrinking globe and hospital systems we are vulnerable to diseases on a global scale. Many have pointed out some very true facts. AIDS isn't a great killer, but it's better than many such as Ebola or Marburg who kill too quickly to get a chance to infect many people.
