Hadn't heard of the particular 'theories' you mention above,
before. Curious, to say the least. I am aware of the other
'theories' you detailed.  Given the horror of HIV infection's
toll on the body's immune system, brain cells, etc., and the
fact that the virus seems to every day reveal some new bizarre
twist in it's ability to hide, linger,  all the while reeking
havoc, it is no wonder that a great mythology would spring up
around it. Including that its origins were 'Alien' or off earth.
Ofcourse, the bottom line remains how do we treat the infection
and how do we not only increase and improve survival once a
person is infected, but can we eradicate it?

I first became aware of the HIV created in biowarfare labs
theory in 1990, whilst working to establish an HIV/AIDS support
system in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Shortly after
attending an intensive training for medical people about
HIV/AIDS, I had the opportunity to watch a video made by a
physician in L.A. (his name is lost in my memory banks, now).
This physician raised the question of the origin of the virus,
and mentioned the possibility of contaminated Hepatitis B
vaccines. Later I talked about this video with some of the other
nurses I was working with. One of them told me that she had
recently received a letter from the Navy, telling her that she
may have been exposed to HIV via the Hepatitis B vaccine series
she had received when she was in active duty.  The letter went
on to assure her that any negative health impact and care
required as the result of HIV infection, would be paid for by
the Navy. She did get tested and had a series of negative HIV
antibody results.

That simple bit of evidence has left me wondering for years
about the true origin of HIV. We may never know. However, in my
professional work with those that are infected with HIV, and in
my contact with close friends who were infected, I've come to
see that the true origins of the virus, become rather irrelevant
in the face of living with HIV.

In some ways, the mythology that has grown to surround HIV/AIDS,
reminds me of the mythology that has grown around UFO's and
ET's. It seems that as humans, when faced with something so
hugely beyond our ability to easily understand and grasp, we
struggle to make sense of what is going on. I find us to be very
creative in the explanations we come up with. Sadly, some
explanations are more far fetched than what it is they have been
created to explain.

Blessings,
