HIV EVOLUTION Santiago Rios MasterProteòmica i Genòmica
History HIV (the virus that causes AIDS) probably transfers to humans in Africa between 1884 and 1924. 1970: African doctors see a rise in opportunistic infections and wasting . Western scientists and doctors remain ignorant of the growing epidemic. 1981: AIDS is detected in California and New York (probably enters around 1970) • 1982: AIDS is reported among haemophiliacs and Haitians (probably enters around 1966) and in several European countries. The name AIDS Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome is created. 1983: Scientists identify HIV (initially called HTLV-III or LAV) as the cause of AIDS. Western scientists become aware that AIDS is widespread in parts of Africa. 1985: AIDS is found in China, and has therefore been seen in all regions of the world.

Hunter theory • Oral polio vaccine theory use chimpanze kidney cells. (Blancou P. et al, Polio vaccine samples not linked to AIDS, NATURE 2001) • The contaminated needle theory for hunter body (Wolfe N.D. et al, Naturally acquired simian retrovirus infections in central African hunters, Lancet. 2004) • The colonialism theory • The conspiracy theory Infection & ExpantionHypotesis
HIV is host-specific. • HIVs are the result of multiple cross-species transmissions of simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIVs) naturally infecting African primates. • The origin HIV pandemia is not clear. • Other HIV typescanoccurbycross-species transmissions. Conclusions
