Timeline: A Brief History of AIDS/HIV > 
So Little Time, is a year-by-year history of the AIDS epidemic. Some scientists believe HIV spread from monkeys to humans between 1926 - 1946. Recent research indicates HIV most probably first jumped from chimpanzees to humans as early as 1675 and didn't establish itself as an epidemic strain in Africa until 1930. 1959 a man died in the Congo in what researchers now say was the first proven AIDS death.
