Frequently Asked
Questions
Do all people with HIV
have AIDS?
No. Being diagnosed with HIV does NOT mean a person will also be
diagnosed with AIDS. Healthcare professionals diagnose AIDS only when people
with HIV disease begin to get severe opportunistic infections or their CD4
counts fall below a certain level. For more information, see CDC’s Basic Information
About HIV And AIDS.
Where did HIV come
from?
Scientists identified a type of chimpanzee in West Africa as the
source of HIV infection in humans. The virus most likely jumped to humans when
humans hunted these chimpanzees for meat and came into contact with their
infected blood. Over several decades, the virus slowly spread across Africa and
later into other parts of the world. For more information, see CDC's Basic Information
