2 :
Actually pinks HIV infection rates in both the UK and US are lower than 1%. Also being illiterate and ignorant does a lot to improve your countries image. (keep up the good work!) I think HIV and AIDS education is the best way to prevent its spread. Using protection every time is the best way to prevent HIV and if people are educated this will make this happen more often.

How many people died in 1981 from HIV/AIDS;how many people was infected

How many people died in 1981 from HIV/AIDS;how many people was infected?

1 :
I don't know that you will be able to get a clear number for the year of 1981 because the term AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) was not properly defined by the CDC until around September of 1982. Are you wanting to know how many people in the U.S. died or how many people worldwide died? "More than 25 million people have died of AIDS since 1981." * As for how many were infected- that is hard to know as there are people that can carry HIV and not know they have it.
2 :
In 1981, the New York Times reported 41 gay males had contracted what was then an unknown immune disorder. It was not until 1983 that this disorder was found to be caused by AIDS. And since it was not until 1985, that a reliable HIV test was developed, it is nearly impossible to say for sure how many died of HIV in 1981.
3 :
According to Michael Worobey, a University of Arizona evolutionary biologist, AIDS has killed more than 25 million people and about 40 million others are infected with HIV. In the link provided, "The researchers think an unknown single infected Haitian immigrant arrived in a large city like Miami or New York, and the virus circulated for years -- first in the U.S. population and then to other nations." The AIDS virus invaded the United States in about 1969 from Haiti. The timeline laid out in the study led by Worobey indicates that HIV infections were occurring in the United States for roughly 12 years before AIDS was first recognized by scientists as a disease in 1981. Many people had died by that point.

1 :
unprotected sex or blood transfusion pretty much, dont do either
2 :
sharing needles, sex, blood any bodily fluids i would stay away from
3 :
You can get HIV: By having unprotected sex- sex without a condom- with someone who has HIV. The virus can be in an infected personâ€™s blood, semen, or vaginal secretions and can enter your body through tiny cuts or sores in your skin, or in the lining of your vagina, penis, rectum, or mouth. By sharing a needle and syringe to inject drugs or sharing drug equipment used to prepare drugs for injection with someone who has HIV. From a blood transfusion or blood clotting factor that you got before 1985. (But today it is unlikely you could get infected that way because all blood in the United States has been tested for HIV since 1985.) Babies born to women with HIV also can become infected during pregnancy, birth, or breast-feeding. You cannot get HIV: By working with or being around someone who has HIV. From sweat, spit, tears, clothes, drinking fountains, phones, toilet seats, or through everyday things like sharing a meal. From insect bites or sting From donating blood. From a closed-mouth kiss (but there is a very small chance of getting it from open-mouthed or "French" kissing with an infected person because of possible blood contact).
4 :
HIV is transmitted by unprotected sex, sharing needles for drug use, otherwise getting infected body fluid into your bloodstream, or it can be transmitted from a woman to a child during pregnancy, delivery, or breastfeeding. HIV is not transmitted by saliva or by casual contact. The only way that kissing would be any risk is if you both have bleeding gums or open cuts in your mouths. Otherwise, it is completely safe to touch, hug, or even kiss someone who has HIV.

The most likely explanation is that hunters in the Democratic Republic of Congo were came into contact with the blood chimps that they were hunting, as the common practice was to butcher them. How exactly HIV-1 originated from SIV(simian immunodeficiency virus) is still a mystery.
