Isn't it a zoonotic virus, related to SIV?

yeah, like with the bat virus, it doesn't really hurt apes. They're adapted to it. Then though humans messed with it in a lab to get it to infect humans then released it.

HIV is not a bioweapon. It was spread from chimpanzees to humans via consumption of raw or under cooked bush meat in Sub-Saharan Africa, vaginal and anal sex without condoms and prostitution, blood transfusions and medical professionals not using new or sterile equipment, and IV drug users sharing needles.
