Answers:
opinions and politics aside,
the simple fact is that HIV was first recognized in roughly 1982 when gay men were found to have Kaposi's sarcoma, and Pneumocystis pneumonia. I still remember reading the initial description in Time magazine, long before it was recognized as HIV-related.

it went by many other names in those days, including GRID (Gay Related Immune Deficiency).

It is just a fact of history, that in this country the initial spread was through homosexual activity. Look it up in any textbook.

Every infectious disease has specific risk groups where it travels. Like anthrax affecting wool sorters. It's just a fact - not politics and people distorting things to fit their agenda.

Sure, there are other ways to transmit HIV, but as a matter of historical record, in the US, the initial spread was through gay sexual behavior -- doesn't anyone remember the closing of the bath houses in San Francisco, and all the uproar that followed.? Maybe I'm the only old fart who's been around long enough...Health Question & Answer

The virus was primarily found in primates. Yes humans consumed primates and after the primates HIV virus mutated and evolved into the human form of HIV. That's what virus do to survive they evolve. Before this virus evolved it was only contained among primates. I've also heard that cats can also get HIV but currently this form can not affect humans.
A side note is that you are more likely to pass HIV easier through anal sex because the anus has actually a thiner layer of tissue.
also don't forget blood transfusions. There was a small blood bank in CA that would test their samples of blood for HIV but it took MANY years for American Red Cross to test their blood. Health Question & Answer
