HIV started around 1900

October 1st, 2008

This article says that HIV may have started around 1900, which is much earlier than what was apparently previously suspected as a 1930s start date. That surprised me because I still thought that they assumed a 1970s start time. http://news.yahoo.com/s/hsn/20081001/hl_hsn/hivoutbreakbegandecadesearlierthanthought

Here’s an article I just saw about a woman who got the military to think about the “human problem” (as it’s been expressed elsewhere) and re-adjust accordingly: http://blog.wired.com/defense/2008/09/controversial-a.html
