Who knows where the HIV/Aids virus came from

Who knows where the HIV/Aids virus came from?
I don't want any stupid "people had sex with monkeys" answers. If anyone really knows, I'd like the information, please. Also, are certain blood types more susceptible to infection?

Researchers now believe AIDs/HIV actually was picked up in the 1920s and gradually spread over time. No one know where AIDs came from. Researchers believe that as transportation improved (planes, ships) people began to travel to remove areas of the word. There in the remote places was the disease and people brought it back to the rest of the population.
