Q: scientists believe HIV is a virus that first transfered to humans in the 20th century in the 1950s in Congo. it then became an epidemic. A lot of cases are in Africa but millions of Asians also such as 5.4 million in India have aids as of today.

Q: i just read an article about it, and i’m just wondering now if anyone else beleives this? i’m kinda iffy on this one, i don’t want to think that people would actually do this! whats wrong with our world?
