Michael Worobey, a University of Arizona evolutionary biologist, claims his team has traced the timeline and transmission route of HIV from Africa to Haiti before it was brought to the US in about 1969. The researchers genetically analyzed blood samples from 122 early AIDS patients, five of whom were Haitian immigrants to the US. They then used the collected data to create a genetic family tree pinpointing the origins of the virulent HIV-1 strain and concluded that it was probably carried into the US by a single infected Haitian immigrant.
