    How long did it take us to discover that #HIV first infected humans half a century before western scientists noticed it?

    As in the current dominant #HIV1 strain first went from chimps to humans in about the #1920s

    There's been multiple #spillover events from multiple species, so this has probably been happening for 1000s of years? (but older #spillovers didn't get far because it's not very contagious)
