Watch Out: Researchers Find Mysterious AIDS-Like Disease

Tweet

For years, scientists have disputed the origin of the HIV virus, with some even going so far as to question whether it was man-made. Since that time, HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, has eviscerated entire communities.

In America, homosexual men were initially the group hit the hardest by the disease, while in poor African communities, AIDS rates have, in some cases, skyrocketed to half the population. But would things have been different if we’d known AIDS was out there and that it wasn’t like any disease we’d seen previously? Maybe. This is what makes early detection of disease so important.
