The Origins of HIV



A new study, lead by scientists from Oxford University and University of Leuven has found the origin of the HIV epidemic to be the early 1920’s (with 95% possible dates ranging from 1909-1930) and the city of Kinshasa, (located in what is now the Democratic Republic of Congo). The virus was likely spread from Kinshasa, a center of commerce, due to the city having a thriving sex trade, a gender imbalance of two men for each woman due to an influx of laborers, a rapidly growing population, and recycling of needles in clinics (ironically) as part of public campaigns to reduce infections disease. Kinshasa was a center for railroad- and as many as a million people passed through the city in the 1940’s. The epidemic then spread HIV subtype M to Sub-Saharan Africa, passing along the main northern and southern railroad lines to Kisagani and Lubumbashi by 1961.

The researchers reached this conclusion through analysis of HIV’s genetic code, using genetic markers to construct a phylogentic tree using phylogeographic techniques (tracing the contemporary geographic distributions of individuals).

Happiness is all i see now I never thought that I will be cured from HERPES virus again. I have been suffering from a deadly disease (HERPES) for the past 3 years now, I had spent a lot of money going from one places to another, from churches to churches, hospitals have been my home every day residence. Constant checks up have been my hobby not until this faithful day, I was searching through the internet, I saw a testimony on how DR agaba helped someone in curing his HERPES disease, quickly I copied his email which is Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com just to give him a test I spoke to him, he asked me to do some certain things which I did, he told me that he is going to provide the herbal cure to me, which he did, then he asked me to go for medical checkup after some days after using the herbal cure, behold I was free from the deadly disease, he only asked me to post the testimony through the whole world, faithfully am doing it now, please brothers and sisters, he is great, I owe him in return. if you are having a similar problem just email him on : Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com or WhatApp: +2349074536486
