Introduction
Attention Getter: Today we are going to talk about a disease, it started in 1959, and from Global Health Observatory data, more than 70 million people have been infected with this disease, 35 million people have died because of it. Over 1.1 million people died worldwide in 2015, and yet there is no cure for this disease. You might have already guessed what we are going to talk about today. Yes, it’s acquired immune deficiency syndrome also known as AIDS.
Statement of Central Idea: AIDS is a disease that has a history dating back to the 1920s. AIDS has a history that can be described in three main parts.

HIV/AIDS, Human immunodeficiency virus infection and acquired immune deficiency syndrome is a spectrum of conditions caused by infection with the human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)
HIV is spread only in certain body fluids from a person infected with HIV.
There are three main stages of HIV infection.
Two kinds of HIV virus, HIV-1 from chimpanzees and gorillas and HIV-2 from sooty mangabeys.
Scientists believe that the first transmission of SIV to HIV in humans took place around 1920s in Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo and it spread from Kinshasa to the rest of the world.
The very first case of HIV blood sample was taken in 1959 from a man living in Kinshasa
Scientists used the earliest sample of HIV blood sample created a ‘family-tree’ ancestry of HIV and discovered the origins of HIV
Kinshasa is a transport center and also due to grow of sex trade around the time that HIV began to spread, HIV spread from Kinshasa to the entire Democratic Republic of Congo and eventually made its way to Haiti around 1960s
Transition:
The Origins of AIDS in America: AIDS first appeared in the United States in 1968 in a sixteen year old teenager named Robert Rayford, but did not start an epidemic until the early 1980s (Hunter, …show more content…
Prenatal screening and antiretroviral therapy have nearly eliminated mother-to-child transmission in the US (Cohen, 2008).
Social Effects
Societal Response
Transition:
Conclusion
Central Idea Restatement:The history of AIDS is not well known, but now we hope you all have a better idea what the virus is.
Review Main Points: We talked about what AIDS is, how it received its name, the origin of AIDS, and AIDS in the present.
Closing
Final Thought: AIDS has come a long way.
