The truth about the origin of AIDS isn't nearly so clear-cut.It's generally believed that HIV is a direct decedent of SIV, Simian Immunodeficiency Virus, but it most likely made the species jump by human consumption of infected animals. The inter-species sex theory of the origin of AIDS is really nothing more than a schoolyard myth.
