The story of deadly dangers of HIV and AIDS is as follows: Gaétan Dugas was the Zero, the first virus carrier, and hijacked the disease as an Air Canada steward to the United States. This story is wrong.

Already since 1970 in the USA
Michael Worobey and his team from the University of Arizona found out: AIDS came to the United States in 1970.

The number of AIDS deaths rose rapidly in the US in the 1980s. (Stephenallens75 / fotolia.com)

The researchers analyzed more than 2000 blood samples from the late 1970s for homosexual men's hepatitis B studies.

As early as 1978 to 1979, 6.6% of New York's samples and 3.7% of San Francisco's samples had antibodies against HIV.

AIDS came from the Caribbean
Scientists explored the genome of these early HIV pathogens from eight of the blood samples. The surprise: The variants of the virus were not from Africa, but from the Caribbean. Thus, one hypothesis was certain: AIDS came from Africa to the Caribbean and from there to North America.

The infected doubled in ten months
Already in 1967, a predecessor of today's HIV spread in the Caribbean, came four years later in the US, and there doubled the number of infected people every ten months.

In 1976, the virus hit San Francisco, in 1977, the number of infected people already exceeded those in the Caribbean. Aids had been known since 1981, and in 1983 it was defined as HIV.

The Zero was not one of the first infected
Gaétan Dugas did not belong to the first wave of the infected, this shows the development of his HIV type. In 1984 he died of the disease with the stigma of having brought the disease across America.

The study also shows that the virus spread very rapidly in the US.

Simian AIDS
The early history of AIDS is better known: the simian immunodeficiency virus, popularly monkey AIDS, probably transmitted African primates to humans in the early 20th century. It became AIDS: SI virus is considered a precursor to HIV.

HIV-1 M developed around 1920 in Kinshasa and penetrated from there into the Congo Basin, but only in the 1960s to West Africa - from there to the Caribbean and from there to North America.

Made from victim to offender
The unfortunate Dugas was not only a victim of AIDS, but also of a misunderstanding. He was registered as a patient O, not "Zero" in a California database for AIDS-infected people. O stood for Out-of-Calfornia.

Unclean journalists and a panicky homophobic mob turned it into Patient Zero and from one of the many American AIDS victims the landlord who carried the disease from New York to San Francisco. (Dr. Utz Anhalt)
