Modern medicine generally believes that AIDS is a disease that only appeared in the second century, so the ancients will not be infected with AIDS, so why is it called modern infection? An incurable disease? What about AIDS?

Modern medicine believes that AIDS is not transmitted by humans, but a special virus in African gorillas. By some coincidence, it was accepted by African aborigines, so AIDS spread from gorillas to humans. After the Great Sailing Movement, a large number of Africans were trafficked to America and Europe, and AIDS spread widely.

So how did indigenous people in Africa get infected with HIV? There are several reasons to speculate.

1, African aborigines once had sexual contact with gorillas: although this is a bit difficult to understand from the perspective of modern people, it is also the most reasonable explanation for Africans infected with AIDS. At that time, African aborigines were in an uncivilized state and could not treat each other as modern people, so they had many special hobbies.

2, bitten by a gorilla, infected with HIV, this reason is also very likely.

African aborigines ate the gorilla meat containing HIV, and they were infected with the virus because the meat was not cleaned.

Therefore, we can see that the above three reasons are the main transmission routes of modern AIDS: sexual contact, blood transmission and mother-to-child transmission.

So how did modern AIDS break out?

On June 5th, 198 1, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published five cases of AIDS in Morbidity and Mortality Weekly, which is the first official record of AIDS in the world. The next year, the disease was officially named AIDS.

The first contact with AIDS patients was a Canadian pilot named Dugas, also known as AIDS? Patient zero? . At that time, Dugas's AIDS had reached a very serious level, and he died shortly after being taken to the hospital, leaving doctors at a loss about this disease that they had never seen before.

Subsequently, with the deepening of the investigation, it was found that Dugas was a homosexual with dozens of sexual partners, and these dozens of people all died after Dugas's death. Doctors soon realized that it was an infectious disease with an unprecedented high mortality rate, but it was too late. Dugas actually had sex with 2,000 men and women in his life. Aids patients spread all over Europe like an exponential explosion, because there is no treatment so far, and it has become a major disease that plagues the world.
