My mom became a nurse in the late 80s. She was witness to how terrible the disease was but worst of all, how people treated those infected. It almost made her quit nursing altogether. She would call parents to tell them about thier sons rapidly failing condition and they would tell her never to call back or hang up on her. Even family's gave up on them. She tried to be there for them so they wouldn't die alone. They would cry out for parents that didnt care. She held their hands. My moms best friend, they met in nursing school, Bill died of aids in 90 or 91. His loss affected her greatly. She doesn't talk about the early years of her career much, she saw so much, ive asked her to write a book about that time but she cant, for now at least❤
Tell your mom she is so greatly appreciated. I’m sure she was an angel to those poor people . She has a heart of gold and should be given a Medal of Honor for all the lives she helped. I know my ex would have loved having her on his death bed when he passed away of aids. ❤❤
I had a cousin that was HIV+. She died around 2016, but she went on to be the first HIV+ organ donor (to other HIV+ patients ofc). It was a huge comfort while grieving her to know that her death saved other people- not just the ones who directly got her organs, but also all the other HIV+ patients that will be able to receive organs from other HIV+ donors. Some of her organs were also donated to science to help them study HIV.
@@ov7spears She died from an overdose, but her mother and father were approached before she died (she was essentially brain dead for a week on life support) asking if they would consent to her being an organ donor. They said yes, and if I remember right they were able to use her liver and two kidneys? The rest of her organs were donated to science so they could study the disease more
While at a young age Taking care of my uncle who had aids and watching him just slowly fall apart destroyed me and also taught me a lot about the human condition and how people act towards people who had it
I can't even imagine how terrifying it must have been in those early years. It's scary now, even when we understand what it is and how to avoid it. But back then when people are just dying for no apparent reason
Albinojackrussel I'm old enough to remember when it was called GRID. I definitely remember being scared by commercials and public service announcements when I was around five because all anyone knew for sure at the time was that the disease was a death sentence and had something to do with sex so they used scare tactics to educate the masses.
Just because it's human history doesn't mean that we can hand-wave it. the whole point of history is to learn from our past--right or wrong--and set up a better future for our peers and the next generation. We can do better. Don't ever forget that
This was a great look at the HIV/AIDS epidemic origins without stigmatizing the people who have been infected. Thanks SciShow for being objective and using deductive reasoning in educating us about this disease.
Did you guys really have to bring politics and general idiotic racism into this? People all over the political spectrum, and of all races, tend to ignore any information that doesn't fit in their world view. Lets not be childish and just look at the science of this disease. I really enjoy how SciShow just gives out the actual information, rather than having an agenda and making videos that support it.
Comedian cosmo when you bring in comments like that, do you ever question that you just hypocritied your own argument? You destroyed your argument by going against the premise!

not soon. Not soon at all. Even if there are promising methods, other political crap mean that not everyone will get the cure. It's even harder for those who live in developing countries.
abdulaziz rushdi what about smallpox though? They eradicated that with the last person infected being in Bangladesh I think. Who's not to say the same will happen to HIV/AIDS too?
Hello095 It's totally different. First of all, it's way harder to treat HIV because of its constant mutations (most of our methods of fighting off pathogens from vaccination to antibiotics are totally dependent on the fact that the pathogen being treated has a "constant" shape). This is why HIV cure isn't found yet. Second of all, politics now a day are a lot dirtier than back then. You can see the horrible-ness of different leaders around the world (from Trump in USA to Sisi in Egypt, world leaders right now are really crap)
Thank you DrChala on RUclips here, for all you do.just got my test results today and am now HIV negative, I will keep letting the world know about your good work sir Drchala.
Some scientists. Some scientists, like Hilary Koprowski experiment on children and make polio vaccines from chimp matter allowing the SIV virus to enter humans.
Brajesh Singh scientist are the problem. There’s no such thing as hiv or aids. It’s never been isolated nor has it been extracted from someone who died from “aids complications”. The govt and scientist are evil
you should also add the sick people during that age because they were the ones receiving the very first medicines that lead to the new medicines of today
HIV+ does not mean infected with HIV nor even having been exposed. Also keep in mind that AIDS has more than one cause. In fact, HIV could not even cause AIDS under the original definition. It was not until 1982 that the U.S. government changed the definition of AIDS to fit HIV after Robert Gallo committed scientific fraud AGAIN by claiming HIV was the cause of AIDS for his own personal financial as he held the patent rights on the highly faulty HIV antibody tests at the time. Therefore, if he could convince people of his fraudulent claim he was making a fortune.

So sorry about your sousing. Hope did they die of AIDS? There has been very effective treatments available since around 16 which have made it a manageable condition with no real other effect on health.
Thank you for educating people about this topic. Rest in peace to all the victims of this disease and love to their families that had to go on without them. My uncle passed at only 23 years old from this in 95. My mom still has a hard time grieving my uncle. I wish I had gotten to know him.
Why is no one pointing out that this virus origin is from africa?? If this virus origin was from china everyone would be blasting their keyboards and all over social medias?
I met Marty St. Claire this year (the scientist who discovered that the AZT drug could treat HIV) and hearing her speak about the history of the disease was incredible. She was a great speaker and treated the topic with so much empathy when talking about the effects on the LGBT+ community. She was able to break down specific events during the AIDS crisis people generally don't hear about and give us a small glimpse of what it was like to live during it as an epidemiologist and microbiologist. If anyone wants to know more, I highly recommend looking up one of her talks or going to a conference to see her in person. I wish she was more famous.
@@src3360 You need to do some research, that drug was toxic and killed almost every person who took it. From your comment I'm guessing you still mask up. 🤡
I always wanted to know about HIV and AIDS in detail. My school wasn't so open about teaching us about it lol. I'm so glad that you made this video. Can't wait for the part 2.
One of the few silver linings of HIV/AIDS is that it took our understanding of viruses into the stratosphere. We have effective treatments for all sorts of viral diseases now because of research on HIV, like the antivirals for hepatitus C, and influenza.
What fascinates me about HIV and AIDS is that the way doctors initially tried to treat it actually made it worse. The idea with some bad diseases is that you focus on killing it, then let the body recover (maybe with some help). They were treating it similarly to cancer. Unfortunately, that wasn't helping. So instead of focusing on killing the virus outright, the focus became reinforcing the immune system and inhibiting the virus.
One problem is that there are no common lab tests that can even confirm infection with HIV. Antibody tests are notoriously inaccurate with over 65 known causes for false positives on the HIV antibody test. Most of these are due to serological cross reactivity from things like common vaccines, some autoimmune disorders, pregnancy or multiple pregnancies, etc. Gammaglobulin or exposure without chronic infection also yield false positives. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR, "viral load") is also a joke. PCR neither confirms the presence of any particular virus nor its activity. It is guesswork based on what the antibody test says and is easily manipulated. If they want to show a higher viral load to scare people in to taking drugs all they have to do is increase replication cycles. If they want to make it appear a treatment is working all they have to do is reduce the replication cycles thus lowering the viral load. There are also numerous problems with accuracy that have been reported in the medical journals including contamination ("product carryover") , calibration, annealing time, etc. The original treatment for suspected HIV infection was pretty stupid. This was the drug AZT, which was originally developed in 1962 as a chemotherapy drug. It was originally banned for human use though as it was found to be too deadly for human use. This is due to the fact that unlike HIV the drug AZT completely collapses the immune system by reducing ALL IMMUNE CELLS including CD4s, which ironically is now part of the definition of AIDS. HIV could not even cause AIDS under the original definition of AIDS. It was not until Robert Gallo, who had already been busted for scientific fraud again committed fraud by announcing before a world wide AIDS symposium that the cause of AIDS was HIV that the government had to find a way to cover up Gallo's newest fraud. So they changed the definition of AIDS in the early 80s to fit the HIV virus to cover up Gallo's newest fraud since he was a top government scientist and therefore was going to embarrass the government with his newest fraud. Why did Gallo commit fraud again? For financial reasons. Gallo held the patent rights on the highly inaccurate HIV antibody test at the time so as long as people believed his fraud he was making a fortune. The only things that could cause AIDS under the original definition are the virus human herpes virus type 6 variant A and the drug AZT both of which completely collapse the immune system. In fact the largest study ever done on AZT, the Concorde Study, determined that the drug AZT shortened the lives of people testing HIV+, which again does not even mean HIV infected, since the AZT unlike HIV completely collapses the immune system leading to opportunistic infections that kill the person.
@@Hveragerthi Your comment is a light of knowledge. Everyone should read John Crewdson's book "Science Fictions" that goes into the fraud that was Robert Gallo. Dr. Kerry Mullis in the Forward of Prof. Peter Duesburg book "Inventing the AIDS virus" said he attempted to find a scientific reference for a statement he wrote "HIV is the probable cause of AIDS." and could *NOT* find any! He asked the person who it was said discovered the alleged HIV virus Dr. Luc Montagnier - he could NOT give a scientific reference! So everything that the video asserts has zero basis in science. Lots of pretty pictures but zero actual science.
Tamara Epps. The video really had a great deal of information presented in an easy to understand way, about the whole picture. Quite an accomplishment.
Thank you so much for doing this. It's important the preserve the history of the AIDS crisis and the science that pulled us out. Too many people who are too young to have seen it don't know how much it changed the world, how scary that time was.
The disease didn’t take off until they started prescribing drugs and it killed people. Something changed and it wasn’t homosexual because it was virtually nonexistent until more recreational drugs hit the scene compromised immune system started killing some and then the prescribed drugs come in and wipe out millions. It was advanced by testing and by prescribing. Same thing we just experienced and are still experiencing. The likelihood of dying is from getting HIV is actually less than the coronavirus. And if you’re healthy individual and not have a destroyed immune system likelihood of dying or even being severely impacted by the coronavirus is still far less than .06%.
Our knowledge of virology has expanded tremendously since HIV was described...we only started understanding viruses in the 1930s...and how they worked in the late 1960s...it was scary for everyone because no one knew how it spread...coughing? Sneezes? Touch? I was a kid in the 70s/80s...🤷♂️
This is the best and safe effective treatment i have ever had which worked so well in curing my HIV I trust #DrChala here on RUclips, When he says that good food 🍱 is what I need to get my health back totally How can I ever pay you back for what you have done for me and my family !.

And Lyme disease (and co-infections) can also be transmitted thru blood, sex, organ transplants, in vitro, etc., not just tick, mosquito, or flea bites. Which can lead to death. (I am mostly bed-bound now and my daughter died bc of this disease). Why do we not educate people about this, till its too late? Be aware and careful out there, folks.
+AtarahDerek Lyme Disease can kill you if you have a suppressed immune system, children and the elderly are particularly at risk for this. It kills one in ten apparently. It takes like two seconds on Google to double check stuff these days. Wear your bug spray.
AtarahDerek Lyme (& co-infections) is in every state, tho more so, in some than others. And, mosquitoes can pass on so-called tick-borne diseases, too. Perhaps, you'd be interested in learning more from one of many sites, such as, WhatIsLyme.com. The bulls-eye rash, you referred to, is not present all the time. If you or your dr wait for that, it could become chronic. I went thru about 3 yrs of treatment, relieving a lot of symptoms, but not all. I'm mostly home-bound, now. None of this is bs. My daughter's death is not bs. I've discovered that she was born with it, thru me. I said all of this, not for sympathy or even compassion, but for education. I knew nothing, really, about it, until I had to. I just want to help others be aware. Not sure why you are so adamant in your ideas, when you don't have all the facts. But that is up to you. My life has completely changed over night. I was an active person - a mom, student, business owner, volunteer, etc. Now, I can't move easily and its a struggle to do anything or get anyrhing done. I, now, have difficulty finding my words, tho I was quite intelligent (sorry for the lack of modesty in that explanation). I am in pain 24/7, making it difficult to even sleep. This is why I chose my username, as I did. I'm a shadow of who I used to be. Again, this is all to reply to your comments and to explain, not to complain. My story is not unique - there are many of us. Many who have the ability to express themselves better than I can. I do hope you never have a bad encounter with a snake or are affected by Lyme (etc) - wouldn't wish either on anyone. May you find knowledge without fear. Enjoy good health.
There was just one thing this excellent video didn’t mention about HIV… That those of us who are on treatments such as Triumeq or Rezolsta have such low viral loads as to live almost normal lives, uninfectious unless something stupid is done. It is no longer the death sentence it once was (where medical care is available).
@@Brian-yt8fu Rx? If you mean the tablets, well, it varies. Many tablets are very low harm and they have to be for they’re taken for years. The trick here is that the patient comes in for check-ups periodically, and adjustments are made as necessary. There’s probably about 30 or so different medications for the doctors to choose from, and trouble is spotted early.

What I think is basic in several subjects you will know nothing about. So does that mean you are stupid? The way you seem to think about people certainly makes me question your intelligence.
It's so sad that the ones who are infected with diseases can be treated appallingly and discriminated against. I understand that the people who don't have the illness don't want it and might be scared, but I wish people would understand that it is not the infected faults that they are infected, they were most likely just unlucky. I wish people could be aware enough or be able to look past their fears and see reality for what it is.
Let's keep in mind that the time it took to spread is much shorter for Covid and the world is taking action. Even if earlier action would have helped the steps that are being taken now will and is reducing the level of victims. Covid is for all of is to take seriously and take action. Stay safe and let's try to think long term. Time to come.together.
Your show is always a great time to watch, but I have to say this episode seemed to have notably more serious, reverent tone. Especially coming for Aranda.

This is how it really happened: *Dude is about to kill the monkey* Monkey: please don't kill me, boss. I-i'll do anything Dude: anything...? Monkey: *gulp* y-yes We all know what happened next
Many theories have been proposed to explain the origin of AIDS. The most popular is the so-called "cut-hunter" hypothesis, in which an African hunter was parenterally exposed to monkey blood contaminated with a virus closely related to HIV (Karpas, 1990; Hrdy, 1987). The infected individual then spread the virus throughout Africa via war, prostitution, urbanization and tribal rituals. The problem with this theory is that it would take hundreds of years for HIV to spread in this manner, and AIDS is a relatively recent disease (Krause, 1992; Huminer et al., 1987). A more likely explanation for the AIDS pandemic is a massive population exposure to an HIV-like virus contained in a vaccine. Such an exposure may have taken place in the Belgian Congo (now Zaire, Rwanda and Burundi) from 1957 to 1959. An oral polio vaccine manufactured at the Wistar Institute in Philadelphia was administered to hundreds of thousands of inhabitants of this area, including 320,000 infants and children (Koprowski, 1960). The vaccine was made in fresh monkey kidney cells that were known to be contaminated with at least 18 different simian viruses (Hayflick et al., 1962). The vaccine itself was found to be contaminated with an "unidentified nonpoliomyelitis virus" that was never characterized (Sabin, 1959). Several facts lend support to the polio vaccine hypothesis of the origin of AIDS. The vaccine was probably developed in fresh kidney explants from macaque monkeys, although African green monkeys may also have been used, and the exact monkey species remains uncertain (Smith, 1990). It is now known that HIV can infect at least one species of macaque (Agy et al., 1992), and HIV antibodies have been detected in African green monkeys (Lecatsas and Alexander, 1992). Thus HIV or a precursor virus could have contaminated the kidney cell cultures. The area where the vaccination program took place had the highest incidence of AIDS-related diseases in the "pre-AIDS" 1960s and 1970s (Williams, 1992). This observation is consistent with exposure of the population to HIV during childhood prior to dissemination of the virus to other areas during adulthood. In the Congo vaccine trial, the vaccine was administered by nebulizer into the pharynx of each infant and child. This method of administration would expose mucosal cells to the virus and increase the likelihood of latent infection (Lehner et aL, 1991). Other infectious diseases in the vaccinated population might also have contributed to an increased susceptibility to an HIV-like virus contained in the Congo vaccine.
This is quite fascinating. I didn’t know how it was theorized Haitian immigrants were some of the first people who popped up with AIDS. I am surprised the video didn’t mention Robert Rayford, a teen in St. Louis who died of what we now know as AIDS which predates the 1969 theorized HIV arrival date in the US.
In the 1960s, many Haitians went to work in Africa in places like the Congo when the colonial occupiers like the Belgians had withdrawn and left a labour shortage. Being French Speakers, the Haitians were easily able to obtain work. It's believed that some Haitians then contracted HIV from the local communities and brought it back with them to Haiti. From there, it's believed that some infected Haitians brought it to New York and other parts of the USA, from where it spread.
You are part of the problem then congratulations. You are perpetuating this disease along with your colleagues that have zero interest on finding a cure. Hell, they even haven't made a vaccine yet that prevents catching this crap. But what do you know, it was fairly easy for Covid. A virus that's only 3 y/o versus a 40 y/o virus. What does that tell you genius?
My teacher taught me, It was a cross hybrid approach by human and monkey result in AIDS. I was 10 year old back then and now i curse that teacher for my misconceptions.
No it wasnt a cross hybrid. It was created in a lab in the 40's then released in the 80's and has patents on it that were approved by the FDA like all the others.

Sangamo Therapeutics have treated/cured 100+ HIV patients. Been healthy for 3 years since initial therapy. This is the same company who did the first ever in-vivo human gene editing recently. Sangamo will cure every rare disease IMVHO.
I bet the government has the cure for it but they wouldn’t profit. Why cure someone in 1 day when you can keep treating them for years and profit from it. Think about it.
Yeah I remember in the 80's when I was a kid, there was a news report about a inmate at Rikers island, being charged with murder, because they spit on a guard, because they knew they had HIV/ AIDS back then, because it was still new to us. I remember by middle school health class, they new enough to tell us the same thing, safety wise, that are still true today. Everything in this video we learned in middle school, around 87. You don't get from saliva/kissing, blood transfusions, you can get it from, in the news it was story's about blood recipients getting it from a blood transfusion. That's why they check your blood when you donate. They didn't at first, until someone caught it. Dirty needles, sharing needles. Of course intercourse, any way you can think of, if fluids mix. They must don't teach this anymore in health class, it lasted me till now and beyond.
My ex GF said that she had an uncle that died back in the mid 80s. She said he was in like his mid 40s and was never married and can remember him just getting sick all the time. She said no one confirmed this but she looks back and thinks that he may have had AIDS. There was other stuff to the story that I dont want to speculate on but she is pretty sure it was AIDS.
Thank you DrChala on RUclips here, for all you do.just got my test results today and am now HIV negative, I will keep letting the world know about your good work sir Drchala..
A lot of people were still ashamed about people contracting hiv and people dying of aids. so a lot of families were hiding the fact and only telling people that the infected person died of "cancer" or "acute tuberculosis" which were only complications resulting from HIV/aids.
My respect and complete admiration for all those patients who sadly passed away and to their families when this virus first spread You’ve brought so many treatments for people today And while we may not know your names, you will forever live and be remembered in the smiles of those people today when doctors tell them “there is a treatment”
@Wexler Day lol! I know bro. I work in the medical field and the doctor I work under educates us on it. I don't work the front lines. (Respect to those who do!) But, my comment was just a light hearted joke. You didn't need to be a buzz kill. 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏽♀️😄
@Wexler Day Agree. But the fact that the virus activates again in coronavirus patients who tested negative and had already claimed victory indicates there must have a different insertion sort. Some doctors don't foresee a successful vaccine or antidote due to the mutation of the virus making impossible to eradicate from the body or lungs. Other doctors stated it is not one coronavirus but few. Matter of fact, the first whistleblower in China spotted a few different viruses as SAR but that has been suppressed by the media globally. I won't be surprised if very soon, experts start noticing Molecular Basis of Cancer-Cell Behavior besides the HIV molecule visibly noticed in the virus. Another fact is the beginning symptoms of the Ebola outbreak; high temperature and 20 days incubation period. What surprises me is even though its complexity and being so heavy has the ability to be airborne. furthermore, what is surprising is that the CIA having all these facts won't do a thing against China or the CCP and Trump calls Xi his friend.
For anyone interested - there is a great book called Spillover by David Quammen, which goes into great detail about the spread of diseases from animals to humans, including SIV and HIV. Would highly recommend.

my father got it, he died from in it in 1993. I remember him crying on the steps when i was very young. Maybe 5 or 6. I had never seen him cry. I came over and gave him a hug and told him " dont worry dad it will be ok " he stopped for moment then kept crying. Looking back i think this was the day he found out he would die. it was brutal horrible death. He looked like the old photos from WW2 in the death camps. Hopefully we will find a cure
Cures have existed since the day they introduced HIV. The FDA has blocked every single proven cure including ozone therapy, Compound Q, lentinan, etc Although, in many cases, people's AIDS went away by simply getting off the AZT, which unlike HIV causes a complete collapse of the immune system, which is also why AZT was one of the first causes of AIDS and has continued to be the primary cause of AIDS. This is why AZT was not allowed on the market when it was invented as a chemo drug in 1962. It was deemed too deadly for human use. The medical establishment though does not refer to these cases as cures though, but rather refers to them as "spontaneous remissions". Big part of the problem is that the vast majority of people, including most doctors have no clue what AIDS is. AIDS is not a disease, it is a syndrome. Acquired Immune Deficiency SYNDROME. Syndromes are not diseases, they are a group of symptoms, which can have more than one cause as is the case with AIDS. Under the original definition of AIDS, HIV could not even cause AIDS. The only things that could cause AIDS under the original definition are human herpes virus type 6 variant A (HHV6-A) and AZT, both of which unlike HIV completely collapse the immune system that led to the opportunistic infections that originally defined AIDS. It was not until 1982 that the U.S. government changed the definition of AIDS to fit HIV to cover up the newest fraud by one of their top scientist Robert Gallo who lied claiming HIV was the cause of AIDS for his own financial gain. Gallo held the patent rights on the highly faulty HIV antibody test of the time.
You talked about spreading through bodily fluids, but not saliva. You should also mention that sweat, urine and fecal matter can’t spread it, either. While you want to avoid the latter two anyway, it’s important to note that sweat is ok, which means close contact, like hugging, is ok. 🤗 All bodily fluids, including saliva, sweat, urine and feces, transmit Ebola, which has been in the news a lot.
eric: Pee is actually the lowest risk body fluid of all because the ammonia kills all but the strongest bugs. They actually told soldiers with athletes foot to pee on their feet.
HIV did not come from a monkey. That myth was disproven over 30 years ago when it was found that HIV was not even remotely close relative to HIV. SIV only has 43% of the same genetics as HIV, which means it is impossible to HIV to have come from SIV. With such a wide variance, mutations from SIV to HOV by natural genetic drift would mean we wold literally have had millions of variations between the two viruses, which have never existed. The HIV came from a monkey myth stems from some lab samples of monkey tissues from a lab polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tested for HIV despite the fact that this test cannot confirm the presence of any particular virus. The monkey samples came back positive for HIV, even though HIV is a human virus, not a monkey virus. It was not until 2 years later that they very quietly announced that the money tissue cultures had been contaminated in the lab, and the monkeys never had HIV. By then though, the HIV came from monkeys myth had taken a strong hold, and the myth never died.

Asum95 your muscles contract and relax in every movement. In yawning, some of these tiny muscles contract and squeeze the lacrimal glands. Thus tears are also forced out
AIDS did not start from some monkey. AIDS appeared in 18 countries at the same time all of which were receiving vaccines from the World Heath Organization (WHO) during their Explanded Program on Immunization (EPI). Weaponized versions of Ebola, Marburg's disease and Lassa fever also appeared in the same countries and villages at the same time the EPI was conducted. When the vaccines were halted the Ebola, Marburg's and Lassa all disappeared on their own accord. Only AIDS remained. The WHO discusses their desire to put synthetic viruses that will selectively destroy the immune system in to vaccines for routine human vaccinations in the Bulletin of the World Health Organization 1972 and the Federation Proceedings 1972, sponsored by the WHO. Furthermore, the SIV virus only shares 43% of the genetics of HIV, which is one cause of AIDS. That means it is not even a close relative of HIV. Viruses do not mutate from 100% to 43%, Use some rational thought people!!!!

My mom became a nurse in the late 80s. She was witness to how terrible the disease was but worst of all, how people treated those infected. It almost made her quit nursing altogether. She would call parents to tell them about thier sons rapidly failing condition and they would tell her never to call back or hang up on her. Even family's gave up on them. She tried to be there for them so they wouldn't die alone. They would cry out for parents that didnt care. She held their hands.
My moms best friend, they met in nursing school, Bill died of aids in 90 or 91. His loss affected her greatly. She doesn't talk about the early years of her career much, she saw so much, ive asked her to write a book about that time but she cant, for now at least❤

Tell your mom she is so greatly appreciated. I’m sure she was an angel to those poor people . She has a heart of gold and should be given a Medal of Honor for all the lives she helped. I know my ex would have loved having her on his death bed when he passed away of aids. ❤❤
Tell her she should really write a book. We could all learn from her caring
I had a cousin that was HIV+. She died around 2016, but she went on to be the first HIV+ organ donor (to other HIV+ patients ofc). It was a huge comfort while grieving her to know that her death saved other people- not just the ones who directly got her organs, but also all the other HIV+ patients that will be able to receive organs from other HIV+ donors. Some of her organs were also donated to science to help them study HIV.
why did she die? isn't this virus controlable nowadays?
@@ov7spears She died from an overdose, but her mother and father were approached before she died (she was essentially brain dead for a week on life support) asking if they would consent to her being an organ donor. They said yes, and if I remember right they were able to use her liver and two kidneys? The rest of her organs were donated to science so they could study the disease more

I can't even imagine how terrifying it must have been in those early years. It's scary now, even when we understand what it is and how to avoid it. But back then when people are just dying for no apparent reason
Albinojackrussel I'm old enough to remember when it was called GRID. I definitely remember being scared by commercials and public service announcements when I was around five because all anyone knew for sure at the time was that the disease was a death sentence and had something to do with sex so they used scare tactics to educate the masses.
That's just human history
Just because it's human history doesn't mean that we can hand-wave it. the whole point of history is to learn from our past--right or wrong--and set up a better future for our peers and the next generation. We can do better. Don't ever forget that
Imagine the plague in europe, where people knew even far less and were far more superstitious

This was a great look at the HIV/AIDS epidemic origins without stigmatizing the people who have been infected. Thanks SciShow for being objective and using deductive reasoning in educating us about this disease.
TheJeffreyJJones yeah man that's science. Objective, facts, reason, logic.

People all over the political spectrum, and of all races, tend to ignore any information that doesn't fit in their world view. Lets not be childish and just look at the science of this disease.

Hello095 That'll be nice..
But will deprive the medical establishment of the constant flow of money..
Hello095 It's totally different. First of all, it's way harder to treat HIV because of its constant mutations (most of our methods of fighting off pathogens from vaccination to antibiotics are totally dependent on the fact that the pathogen being treated has a "constant" shape). This is why HIV cure isn't found yet.
Second of all, politics now a day are a lot dirtier than back then. You can see the horrible-ness of different leaders around the world (from Trump in USA to Sisi in Egypt, world leaders right now are really crap)

I've had a friend for like 10 years who's HIV+ and is doing pretty well. So glad to see continued progress in treating it.
HIV+ does not mean infected with HIV nor even having been exposed.
Also keep in mind that AIDS has more than one cause. In fact, HIV could not even cause AIDS under the original definition. It was not until 1982 that the U.S. government changed the definition of AIDS to fit HIV after Robert Gallo committed scientific fraud AGAIN by claiming HIV was the cause of AIDS for his own personal financial as he held the patent rights on the highly faulty HIV antibody tests at the time. Therefore, if he could convince people of his fraudulent claim he was making a fortune.
Same! My bff is non-detectable now!
Is there any cure for HIV ? As far I know there is not
As a 90s kid I think of Ryan white and the struggle he went through to educate people and be seen. He was proof that the virus didn't discriminate.
But he caught it through contaminated blood, not sex.
Antibody testing was in place and the blood supply was safe by 1984. From then on the primary transmission vector was receptive anal intercourse.
I know a lot of people got it from transfusions and vehicle accidents. It doesn’t discriminate.

If anyone wants to know more, I highly recommend looking up one of her talks or going to a conference to see her in person. I wish she was more famous.

Existence Defies Logic, Where, Ronald Reagan High?
One of the few silver linings of HIV/AIDS is that it took our understanding of viruses into the stratosphere. We have effective treatments for all sorts of viral diseases now because of research on HIV, like the antivirals for hepatitus C, and influenza.
What fascinates me about HIV and AIDS is that the way doctors initially tried to treat it actually made it worse. The idea with some bad diseases is that you focus on killing it, then let the body recover (maybe with some help). They were treating it similarly to cancer. Unfortunately, that wasn't helping. So instead of focusing on killing the virus outright, the focus became reinforcing the immune system and inhibiting the virus.
One problem is that there are no common lab tests that can even confirm infection with HIV.
Antibody tests are notoriously inaccurate with over 65 known causes for false positives on the HIV antibody test. Most of these are due to serological cross reactivity from things like common vaccines, some autoimmune disorders, pregnancy or multiple pregnancies, etc. Gammaglobulin or exposure without chronic infection also yield false positives.
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR, "viral load") is also a joke. PCR neither confirms the presence of any particular virus nor its activity. It is guesswork based on what the antibody test says and is easily manipulated. If they want to show a higher viral load to scare people in to taking drugs all they have to do is increase replication cycles. If they want to make it appear a treatment is working all they have to do is reduce the replication cycles thus lowering the viral load. There are also numerous problems with accuracy that have been reported in the medical journals including contamination ("product carryover") , calibration, annealing time, etc.
The original treatment for suspected HIV infection was pretty stupid. This was the drug AZT, which was originally developed in 1962 as a chemotherapy drug. It was originally banned for human use though as it was found to be too deadly for human use. This is due to the fact that unlike HIV the drug AZT completely collapses the immune system by reducing ALL IMMUNE CELLS including CD4s, which ironically is now part of the definition of AIDS.
HIV could not even cause AIDS under the original definition of AIDS. It was not until Robert Gallo, who had already been busted for scientific fraud again committed fraud by announcing before a world wide AIDS symposium that the cause of AIDS was HIV that the government had to find a way to cover up Gallo's newest fraud. So they changed the definition of AIDS in the early 80s to fit the HIV virus to cover up Gallo's newest fraud since he was a top government scientist and therefore was going to embarrass the government with his newest fraud. Why did Gallo commit fraud again? For financial reasons. Gallo held the patent rights on the highly inaccurate HIV antibody test at the time so as long as people believed his fraud he was making a fortune.
The only things that could cause AIDS under the original definition are the virus human herpes virus type 6 variant A and the drug AZT both of which completely collapse the immune system.
In fact the largest study ever done on AZT, the Concorde Study, determined that the drug AZT shortened the lives of people testing HIV+, which again does not even mean HIV infected, since the AZT unlike HIV completely collapses the immune system leading to opportunistic infections that kill the person.
First covid misinformation and now hiv misinformation. Source on HIV tests being unreliable?
US population over 300 million and only 65 false positives….. lottery ticket to a new life and beginning.
There are preventative you can take.
@@Hveragerthi Your comment is a light of knowledge. Everyone should read John Crewdson's book "Science Fictions" that goes into the fraud that was Robert Gallo. Dr. Kerry Mullis in the Forward of Prof. Peter Duesburg book "Inventing the AIDS virus" said he attempted to find a scientific reference for a statement he wrote "HIV is the probable cause of AIDS." and could *NOT* find any! He asked the person who it was said discovered the alleged HIV virus Dr. Luc Montagnier - he could NOT give a scientific reference! So everything that the video asserts has zero basis in science. Lots of pretty pictures but zero actual science.

Thank you, Michael, for presenting this topic in such a mature, informative, and tactful manner.
Thank you so much for doing this. It's important the preserve the history of the AIDS crisis and the science that pulled us out. Too many people who are too young to have seen it don't know how much it changed the world, how scary that time was.
Hearing the phrase, "It just takes a while for a virus to take off" in 2021, just hits different...
Yeah. That's what I was thinking, too.
It depends very heavily on the *KIND* of disease involved.
The disease didn’t take off until they started prescribing drugs and it killed people.
Something changed and it wasn’t homosexual because it was virtually nonexistent until more recreational drugs hit the scene compromised immune system started killing some and then the prescribed drugs come in and wipe out millions.
It was advanced by testing and by prescribing.
Same thing we just experienced and are still experiencing.
The likelihood of dying is from getting HIV is actually less than the coronavirus. And if you’re healthy individual and not have a destroyed immune system likelihood of dying or even being severely impacted by the coronavirus is still far less than .06%.

@@user-lehsun-le-garib ruclips.net/video/uywzbRLz5zc/видео.html
Many theories have been proposed to explain the
origin of AIDS. The most popular is the so-called
"cut-hunter" hypothesis, in which an African hunter
was parenterally exposed to monkey blood contaminated
with a virus closely related to HIV
(Karpas, 1990; Hrdy, 1987). The infected individual
then spread the virus throughout Africa via war,
prostitution, urbanization and tribal rituals. The
problem with this theory is that it would take
hundreds of years for HIV to spread in this manner,
and AIDS is a relatively recent disease (Krause, 1992;
Huminer et al., 1987). A more likely explanation for
the AIDS pandemic is a massive population exposure
to an HIV-like virus contained in a vaccine.
Such an exposure may have taken place in the Belgian
Congo (now Zaire, Rwanda and Burundi) from
1957 to 1959. An oral polio vaccine manufactured
at the Wistar Institute in Philadelphia was administered to hundreds of thousands of inhabitants
of this area, including 320,000 infants and children
(Koprowski, 1960). The vaccine was made in fresh
monkey kidney cells that were known to be contaminated
with at least 18 different simian viruses
(Hayflick et al., 1962). The vaccine itself was found
to be contaminated with an "unidentified nonpoliomyelitis
virus" that was never characterized
(Sabin, 1959).
Several facts lend support to the polio vaccine
hypothesis of the origin of AIDS. The vaccine was
probably developed in fresh kidney explants from
macaque monkeys, although African green monkeys
may also have been used, and the exact monkey species
remains uncertain (Smith, 1990). It is now known
that HIV can infect at least one species of macaque
(Agy et al., 1992), and HIV antibodies have been detected
in African green monkeys (Lecatsas and
Alexander, 1992). Thus HIV or a precursor virus
could have contaminated the kidney cell cultures. The
area where the vaccination program took place had
the highest incidence of AIDS-related diseases in the
"pre-AIDS" 1960s and 1970s (Williams, 1992). This
observation is consistent with exposure of the population
to HIV during childhood prior to dissemination
of the virus to other areas during adulthood. In
the Congo vaccine trial, the vaccine was administered
by nebulizer into the pharynx of each infant and
child. This method of administration would expose
mucosal cells to the virus and increase the likelihood of latent infection (Lehner et aL, 1991). Other infectious
diseases in the vaccinated population might also
have contributed to an increased susceptibility to an
HIV-like virus contained in the Congo vaccine.

Like how they did four years ago? ruclips.net/video/hRwWxELXakA/видео.html
Awsm, thanks-
np bro
yes that was sooooooo wrong sicko c i a
+Karla Kirkpatrick That had nothing to do with the CIA. The CIA wasn't even founded until 15 years after the experiment started.
This is one of the most informative videos on hiv I've ever seen. It really answered many of my questions.
What questions? The HIV came from monkeys or apes myth was disproven about 30 years ago.
Left out how make Sodomy made the disease spread like wildfire....he seemed more interested in blaming "female" prostitutes and women and children?
sum guy read about Dr Jack Felder he had a Book entitled AIDS
@@Hveragerthi prove it show the research and sources
@@fuokugoooge8314 Why? Are you too lazy or too stupid to know how to do basic research?
I've never heard or thought about the origin of HIV, and it's fascinating and terrifying at the same time.
There's quite a lot of info out there. It's very interesting social history

I have a question: why do we blink when we heard a loud noise?
its a reflex. your brain tries to protect your eye balls by shutting them to prevent anything entering it.
Thomas Di Marco that's basic instinct, im glad we do it, maybe because all land animals almost do it.
Flinching, basically...
HxissGurl thank you for responding! Now i know thank you!
Doge coin? LOLs.
I love this show. I am glad there're still people out there doing knowledge based shows
This is quite fascinating. I didn’t know how it was theorized Haitian immigrants were some of the first people who popped up with AIDS. I am surprised the video didn’t mention Robert Rayford, a teen in St. Louis who died of what we now know as AIDS which predates the 1969 theorized HIV arrival date in the US.
In the 1960s, many Haitians went to work in Africa in places like the Congo when the colonial occupiers like the Belgians had withdrawn and left a labour shortage. Being French Speakers, the Haitians were easily able to obtain work. It's believed that some Haitians then contracted HIV from the local communities and brought it back with them to Haiti. From there, it's believed that some infected Haitians brought it to New York and other parts of the USA, from where it spread.
I think I lost on no blinking challenge with this guy.
my eyes started watering watching him not blink
Thanks for tackling such an important subject Scishow, very well done. Looking forward to the next episode, and more content like this.
Absolutely amazing that people were able to figure out all of those details.
Your voice is really relaxing
I work in a lab that researches treatments for HIV. It was very interesting to learn about how it all started. Thanks!
You are part of the problem then congratulations. You are perpetuating this disease along with your colleagues that have zero interest on finding a cure. Hell, they even haven't made a vaccine yet that prevents catching this crap. But what do you know, it was fairly easy for Covid. A virus that's only 3 y/o versus a 40 y/o virus. What does that tell you genius?
My teacher taught me,
It was a cross hybrid approach by human and monkey result in AIDS.
I was 10 year old back then and now i curse that teacher for my misconceptions.
Pranjal VW it’s more likely that some idiot killed and ate a monkey and spread it that way
@@GabyGeorge1996 raw?
No it wasnt a cross hybrid. It was created in a lab in the 40's then released in the 80's and has patents on it that were approved by the FDA like all the others.
@@richardsalmon2134 no it wasn't , that is an old wives tale . show us the patents or quit lying
@@richardsalmon2134 no..Its not cereated First it came bcuz a man did sex with chimpange in africa or us forest....then aids hiv virus transmitted to human body first time THen he did with 5 women n they contniues it na later like that i speard to world now
a battle is being waged inside of me... I had been fighting this silent battle for quite sometime now, even though i know what the outcome in the end might be, still i find hope and strength from family, friends, and people around me.. But lately i realized, im already growing tired and weary, and hope slowly faded away, but acceptance is still there with me, i just want to live my life, the way it is (whatevers left of it). i gave up on my arv and other medications for quite sometime now, and im feeling the consequences already. But i have no regrets in doing it.. "I JUST WANT TO LIVE WHATEVERS LEFT OF MY LIFE THE WAY I WANTED IT TO BE". for those people who are having the same burden, please dont give up, dont be like me..

I hope there will be a cure to HIV/AIDS
Sangamo Therapeutics have treated/cured 100+ HIV patients. Been healthy for 3 years since initial therapy. This is the same company who did the first ever in-vivo human gene editing recently. Sangamo will cure every rare disease IMVHO.
Disposing of Jake Paul would be a start...
nope , it is highly profitable to cure it soon enough
I bet the government has the cure for it but they wouldn’t profit. Why cure someone in 1 day when you can keep treating them for years and profit from it. Think about it.
Irvin Mejia There is a cure for Aids look at magic he is living proof
Lol, I saw the thumbnail and my mind read the title as "how a sick pimp caused a global pandemic"😂
Yeah I remember in the 80's when I was a kid, there was a news report about a inmate at Rikers island, being charged with murder, because they spit on a guard, because they knew they had HIV/ AIDS back then, because it was still new to us. I remember by middle school health class, they new enough to tell us the same thing, safety wise, that are still true today. Everything in this video we learned in middle school, around 87. You don't get from saliva/kissing, blood transfusions, you can get it from, in the news it was story's about blood recipients getting it from a blood transfusion. That's why they check your blood when you donate. They didn't at first, until someone caught it. Dirty needles, sharing needles. Of course intercourse, any way you can think of, if fluids mix. They must don't teach this anymore in health class, it lasted me till now and beyond.
My ex GF said that she had an uncle that died back in the mid 80s. She said he was in like his mid 40s and was never married and can remember him just getting sick all the time. She said no one confirmed this but she looks back and thinks that he may have had AIDS. There was other stuff to the story that I dont want to speculate on but she is pretty sure it was AIDS.
Thank you DrChala on RUclips here, for all you do.just got my test results today and am now HIV negative, I will keep letting the world know about your good work sir Drchala..
A lot of people were still ashamed about people contracting hiv and people dying of aids. so a lot of families were hiding the fact and only telling people that the infected person died of "cancer" or "acute tuberculosis" which were only complications resulting from HIV/aids.
My respect and complete admiration for all those patients who sadly passed away and to their families when this virus first spread
You’ve brought so many treatments for people today
And while we may not know your names, you will forever live and be remembered in the smiles of those people today when doctors tell them “there is a treatment”
"it takes awhile for a virus to take off"
COVID19: hold my bat.
Wexler Day Hi Alex Jones
@Wexler Day lol! I know bro. I work in the medical field and the doctor I work under educates us on it. I don't work the front lines. (Respect to those who do!) But, my comment was just a light hearted joke. You didn't need to be a buzz kill. 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏽♀️😄
@Wexler Day Agree. But the fact that the virus activates again in coronavirus patients who tested negative and had already claimed victory indicates there must have a different insertion sort. Some doctors don't foresee a successful vaccine or antidote due to the mutation of the virus making impossible to eradicate from the body or lungs. Other doctors stated it is not one coronavirus but few. Matter of fact, the first whistleblower in China spotted a few different viruses as SAR but that has been suppressed by the media globally. I won't be surprised if very soon, experts start noticing Molecular Basis of Cancer-Cell Behavior besides the HIV molecule visibly noticed in the virus. Another fact is the beginning symptoms of the Ebola outbreak; high temperature and 20 days incubation period.
What surprises me is even though its complexity and being so heavy has the ability to be airborne. furthermore, what is surprising is that the CIA having all these facts won't do a thing against China or the CCP and Trump calls Xi his friend.
Wexler Day You gotta give me proof of that
Wexler Day I’m not gonna post info...
...means I have no proof!
You lose.
imagine a world with no aids or hiv
Then the memes about AIDS wouldn't exist
That is a world I wouldn't want to live in
It would be so much better.
@Toxic Yes. I'm very much dead...
That'll be a world full of adultery
I can...and I wish you could have been there🙄😋
Great video full of insight, congrats
This was fascinating. Thank you for being so brilliant in educating us about this important issue
Thank you for being frank and educating us. Getting Facts out there, is the only way to stop the rumours and misinformation spreading at alarming rate
For anyone interested - there is a great book called Spillover by David Quammen, which goes into great detail about the spread of diseases from animals to humans, including SIV and HIV. Would highly recommend.
Read the river journey to the source of hiv and aids by Edward Hooper. If you want to really understand the origin of Aids
is it possible that someone made it?
nope
yeah guess its impossible to genetically modify viruses
It definitely wasn't until the early 1970s , and HIV was already present long before that
This is simply an amazing video! So much information presented so concisely.Thank you very much.
It is so weird that I understand what he was saying. Watching this video 1 year ago would give me a headache just to understand what he was saying. Currently studying medicine
Wats ur age
@@amykj 20 when i commented in this vid. Im 21 now
Very informational video.
Scishow should make this a series, covering other diseases like this, showing the basics of them and adding extra info that its not usually said, like origins, and evolutions.
Keep up the great work!
😩 it’s sad to hear about all
These people who suffered/suffering from this disease RIP to all
And to Freddie Mercury ❤️
Oh no a crying emoji?

You should do videos like this for other diseases too! Very interesting.
2:15 you said "unless there's a lot of blood in your saliva it could be contagious". A little blood in your saliva is enough to be contagious.
Yes! And people prick their gums when brushing their teeth which can cause microbleeding in mouth. An interesting thought.
@neemo k isn’t there only one possible case of this?
Plague Inc. is a wonderful game.

If another global pandemic happens meet me in Greenland
It might be better to go to Madagascar, since they almost always seem to shut down their borders.
Quazex But Greenland is the firat country to fall, there is less people there then most countrys around the globe
Well for some Greenland first!
Great presentation - can't believe I've never heard most of these facts before!
Well done explanation, excellently presented without hysteria - I worked in the field and found out things I was unaware of back then.

Wow, I learned a lot from that. Having been a teen in the 80s, some of that info was out back then, but lots of misinformation was mixed with it. I hope you tackle the ?fact? that Reagan turned a deaf ear to the crisis.

It's not the president's job to stop people having unprotected sex, the same way it's not the president's job to stop two people of the same gender or sex from getting married.
But it is the president's job to handle national crises in public health.
and stopping your Surgeon General from making statements because it goes against moral, conservative values, is repugnant.
my father got it, he died from in it in 1993. I remember him crying on the steps when i was very young. Maybe 5 or 6. I had never seen him cry.
I came over and gave him a hug and told him " dont worry dad it will be ok " he stopped for moment then kept crying. Looking back i think this was the day he found out he would die. it was brutal horrible death. He looked like the old photos from WW2 in the death camps. Hopefully we will find a cure
Cures have existed since the day they introduced HIV. The FDA has blocked every single proven cure including ozone therapy, Compound Q, lentinan, etc
Although, in many cases, people's AIDS went away by simply getting off the AZT, which unlike HIV causes a complete collapse of the immune system, which is also why AZT was one of the first causes of AIDS and has continued to be the primary cause of AIDS. This is why AZT was not allowed on the market when it was invented as a chemo drug in 1962. It was deemed too deadly for human use. The medical establishment though does not refer to these cases as cures though, but rather refers to them as "spontaneous remissions".
Big part of the problem is that the vast majority of people, including most doctors have no clue what AIDS is. AIDS is not a disease, it is a syndrome. Acquired Immune Deficiency SYNDROME. Syndromes are not diseases, they are a group of symptoms, which can have more than one cause as is the case with AIDS.
Under the original definition of AIDS, HIV could not even cause AIDS. The only things that could cause AIDS under the original definition are human herpes virus type 6 variant A (HHV6-A) and AZT, both of which unlike HIV completely collapse the immune system that led to the opportunistic infections that originally defined AIDS. It was not until 1982 that the U.S. government changed the definition of AIDS to fit HIV to cover up the newest fraud by one of their top scientist Robert Gallo who lied claiming HIV was the cause of AIDS for his own financial gain. Gallo held the patent rights on the highly faulty HIV antibody test of the time.

Great presentation of a very sensitive subject! :-)
Except for the fact that the HIV came from monkeys hypothesis was disproven over 30 years ago.
CoVid-19 brought me here
You talked about spreading through bodily fluids, but not saliva. You should also mention that sweat, urine and fecal matter can’t spread it, either.
While you want to avoid the latter two anyway, it’s important to note that sweat is ok, which means close contact, like hugging, is ok. 🤗
All bodily fluids, including saliva, sweat, urine and feces, transmit Ebola, which has been in the news a lot.
There can still be blood in saliva, sweat, urine, and feces for a number of reasons, so HIV can still be transmitted through those fluids.
He’s just hitting the main points. Go to Wikipedia if you want more details.
eric: Pee is actually the lowest risk body fluid of all because the ammonia kills all but the strongest bugs. They actually told soldiers with athletes foot to pee on their feet.
Eric Hansen so do straight people
I don't want to hug any sweaty men regardless of their HIV status.
I feel like in inside a plague inc. game and your narrating the epidemic so far.
KnightCaster well yeah the real world IS based on that video game after all. Smh
Aaaaaand, bloody diarrhea!
Always impressed with concise fact-based complete info, rattled off fluently in this channel vids.
HIV did not come from a monkey. That myth was disproven over 30 years ago when it was found that HIV was not even remotely close relative to HIV. SIV only has 43% of the same genetics as HIV, which means it is impossible to HIV to have come from SIV. With such a wide variance, mutations from SIV to HOV by natural genetic drift would mean we wold literally have had millions of variations between the two viruses, which have never existed.
The HIV came from a monkey myth stems from some lab samples of monkey tissues from a lab polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tested for HIV despite the fact that this test cannot confirm the presence of any particular virus. The monkey samples came back positive for HIV, even though HIV is a human virus, not a monkey virus. It was not until 2 years later that they very quietly announced that the money tissue cultures had been contaminated in the lab, and the monkeys never had HIV. By then though, the HIV came from monkeys myth had taken a strong hold, and the myth never died.
Amazing to know how much research was done to go back through history to get to a probable starting point of the epidemic!!
JERRY MATHEN I thought so too
So Family Guy's explanation wasn't all that far off, haha. Seriously though, I found this to be very interesting and informative!
I believe HIV AND AIDS have been around way longer than we think. Over time it has mutated in different ways. To me it seems to adapt or evolve.
cute story.... no, everyone can aids and die from it...

Why does the eyes get teary after yawning?
Asum95 your muscles contract and relax in every movement. In yawning, some of these tiny muscles contract and squeeze the lacrimal glands. Thus tears are also forced out
This may be the most informative video I’ve ever watched on RUclips. I just got finish watching Pose & wanted to know how this outbreak started.
HI
AIDS did not start from some monkey. AIDS appeared in 18 countries at the same time all of which were receiving vaccines from the World Heath Organization (WHO) during their Explanded Program on Immunization (EPI). Weaponized versions of Ebola, Marburg's disease and Lassa fever also appeared in the same countries and villages at the same time the EPI was conducted. When the vaccines were halted the Ebola, Marburg's and Lassa all disappeared on their own accord. Only AIDS remained.
The WHO discusses their desire to put synthetic viruses that will selectively destroy the immune system in to vaccines for routine human vaccinations in the Bulletin of the World Health Organization 1972 and the Federation Proceedings 1972, sponsored by the WHO.
Furthermore, the SIV virus only shares 43% of the genetics of HIV, which is one cause of AIDS. That means it is not even a close relative of HIV. Viruses do not mutate from 100% to 43%, Use some rational thought people!!!!
Sameeee
@@Hveragerthi look at you, telling people to look for credible sources and quoting that bs, that couldn't have came from one...
@@LenaFerrari Your comment only serves to further prove how gullible and ridiculously stupid you are. An intelligent person would have done some actual research and find the medical journal articles that are available for free to EVERYONE, which includes you, instead of assuming crap because the facts do not fit their fantasy world of unicorns and leprechauns.
I didn't know half of this info until this video!
And I grew up in the 90s geez
