Article explaining that the AIDS virus has been around for some time....100 years maybe. But I read a paragraph that got me. It follows the link with my reasoning of why I think Cuban healthcare had something to do with it's spread.

Then, in 1964, the virus crossed the Atlantic and landed in Haiti, researchers say.
"It has been suggested this occurred with the return of Haitian professionals who worked in the newly independent Congo in the 1960s," the authors wrote. "Our results strengthen this hypothesis, as a large proportion of these professionals were based in Kinshasa."
Didn't Cuba send large numbers of doctors to Haiti and Africa in the early 60's? Weren't they accused of reusing needles and not following proper medical procedures? Yes they did and when they returned I think they brought something back with them.....AIDS.
