title: [The adventure of human immunodeficiency virus: from where to where?].
abstract: What is the origin of HIV as the plaque of our age? What was the way of transmission? Did it just cross from the primates to the human being or has it been introduced accidentally during the polio vaccine trials period in Africa? Is there any other risks in front of the human being, originating from the primates harbouring other viruses. In this review article, it has been tried to give up to date and scientific answers to these kinds of questions.
