Is AIDS transmitted from gorillas to humans?

1981June, when the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recorded five AIDS patients, AIDS was first discovered by human beings. 1985, China discovered HIV in a foreign tourist.

At present, most studies show that AIDS first occurred in chimpanzees and gorillas in Cameroon, Africa. However, the AIDS of these chimpanzees and gorillas is actually SIV (Monkey Immunodeficiency Virus). However, due to various reasons, SIV mutated into HIV after entering the human body, which is what we now call AIDS.

SIV only exists in monkeys and orangutans, and no longer exists in humans. However, more than 100 years ago, 1920 (this is the earliest AIDS case that can be proved by evidence at present), a hunter in Congo, Africa was unfortunately injured while hunting an orangutan. After the injury, SIV entered the hunter's body with blood through the wound. He is not the first hunter to be scratched by chimpanzees.

Unfortunately, SIV mutated into his body and completely adapted to the living environment of human beings. Later, the hunter developed symptoms such as low fever and muscle aches, but he survived because of his good physical fitness. Later, he infected his wife and began to spread all over the world with railways, sex trade and slave trade.

As the saying goes, in many parts of Africa, people living near the jungle often go to the jungle to hunt wild animals for food. Usually they eat whatever they catch, but Africans prefer to eat orangutans or other primates.

In the process of hunting apes, simple tools often cause the hunter's wound to infect the ape's blood, which leads to the SIV virus in the ape entering the hunter's body and then spreading rapidly in the hunter tribe.
