Nope... despite what the libs would have you believe.

There is some thought (and scientific evidence to support same) that AIDS actually showed up in the US in 1954, though it was not recognized until June 5, 1981.

HIV has been detected in preserved historical blood samples as far back as *1959*.

I remeber reading years ago that AIDS was known to exist back in the 1950's. However, in order to become an epidemic, all it needed was for one infected promiscuous gay man to enter a bathouse, and it was "game over".

Wasn't there a British sailor in the late 1950's who contracted a mysterious disease that had AIDS like symptoms? I remember reading that blood samples taken from him tested positive for HIV.

Wasn't there a US Navy sailor that died of a mysterious immune deficiency disease in the 1950's? Seems like I read somewhere that they preserved this guy's tissue samples in paraffin and it was later studied and shown to contain a strain of HIV.

That statement does not surprise me.

“HIV has been detected in preserved historical blood samples as far back as *1959*.”

Yes, I too read that several years ago.

No research went into this article. It is all invention.
