The illness that we today call AIDS was first identified as a new disease in the United States in 1980.

It was first identified in young homosexual males in Los Angeles, California, San Francisco, California, Africa, and New York.

By 1983, scientists had discovered that the condition was caused by a virus which was eventually named HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus).

The HIV virus was discovered by both American and French scientists.
