Answers:    1. Because you need to a certain extent high tech investigations to distinguish a new immune system disease from background cause of disease, particularly techniques to distinguish and quantify specific cells similar to cytometry to identify the underlying cellular immune deficiency. They didn't have these in Uganda surrounded by 1981. They did in Los Angeles and New York.

3. They cultured the HIV they isolated, and purified the proteins. Nowadays the proteins can be produced in purer and larger quantity by genetic engineering.

4. Yes, many. HBV, HCV, HSV, HPV, CMV, EBV, for example. Strictly speaking, HIV is never virologically dormant. Clinical latency between the seroconversion illness and later HIV disease occur in the period before sufficient immune sprain has occurred to cause symptoms.
ou can't. At the outside a "positive" check in the US might be read as an "indeterminate but not looking good" test elsewhere, but this would be rare.

6. It's not. South Africa and Botswana enjoy the highest rates of HIV of any major country, and are also the wealthiest major countries surrounded by subsaharan Africa.

8. In the US, the rate of new infections peaked surrounded by 1984 and 1985, mainly because people with the virus have no way of knowing this. The rate fell during the 1990s, but has been increasing again surrounded by recent years. And no, it hasn't stuck only with the original risk groups: almost as tons Americans were infected heterosexually in 2007 as were infected through mannish to male sex.
ON the 4th of July in 1976 America "hosted the greatest party ever crammed next to sailors. New York city had hosted the greatest party ever known, everybody agreed latter. the guests had come from all over the world.." "this was the cog the epidemiologists would later note, when they staued up late at hours of darkness and the conversatoin drifted toward where it had all started and when they would remember that glorious dark in NY harbor, all of those sailors and recall from adjectives the world they came to new york." page 3 book quote And The Band Played On.
The first case that be reported was in Denmark. She was a doctor surrounded by the Congo who was working as a doctor in africa. She contracted the disease and later died contained by europe.
A French canadian airliner, Gaetan Dugas,a man who was gay also contracted the disease and spread it. He flew from san Francisco to New York. He went ot many hip bath houses and slept with many men spreading the hiv among the homosexual community. this is where the gay disease be wrongly misdiagnoised until intravensous needle drug users, hemophiliacs and new b orn babys were starting to contract the virus also.
elieve Robert Gallo isolated the disease.

sometime surrounded by the mid 80s they were able to identify antiobodies thus being competent to diagnoise hiv.
I can speculate all of your questions but yes its contageous. there are myths give or take a few hiv. some say having sex with a virgin you can be cured which is NOT the defence.
