AIDS tracked to Chimps
Researchers are studying and showing how studies support the idea that people caught the AIDS virus from Chimps. The chimps that have this disease are said to be located in Cameroon. However, this does not mean that is where the virus originated from. Researched say that the epidemic actually took of in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo. It is obviously true that you can't get this infection from petting a chimp, just like you can't get HIV from a toilet seat. It requires exposure to infected blood and infected body fluids. So if you get bitten by an angry chimp, that is a case where you might want to be concerned.
