No one fucked a primate. Just because HIV can be transmitted via sex doesn't mean it's the only way.

My bet is they didn't cook it properly

The idea that it jumped species via sex is a racist trope I heard back in elementary school. Damn near 30 years ago. Like when I heard it back than it didn't make any common sense to me at 6 years old, and to think there's grown adults 3 decades later still typing that bullshit into comments.

Monkey business on a sunny afternoon.

Back then I heard it as probably blood getting in some dudes eyes while butchering a primate, but I was in high school by then, I think I read it in a National Geographic magazine (boy has that company changed since).

I'm sure that at least someone fucked a primate. 😺
