WASHINGTON -- Twenty-five years after AIDS emerged as a killer health threat, scientists are confirming that HIV really did originate in wild chimpanzees.
Scientists say trackers had to plunge through the dense jungles of Cameroon to collect hundreds of samples of ape droppings.
A University of Alabama at Birmingham researcher who led the international team said no one even had the tools to make their conclusions until they spent seven years in the lab developing new testing methods.
Beatrice Hahn said the world may not have a cure for AIDS. But she said the findings, published in the journal Science, let researchers make a "check mark" on the box for pinning down the origins.

This is interesting because many have made this statement that AIDS came from ****ing chimps...
