You don't get much action, do you? He sleeps with a lot of girls. Big deal. james Bond does the same thing.

Herpes has been around for centuries, hundreds of centuries. In fact, it wasn't until the 1960s that any kind of reliable medical treatment was discovered for them. Tons of other STDs were around in the 60s too. About the only thing that wasn't was AIDS.

Just looked it up.
AIDs goes back furtherthan that.
Some other diseases also came from Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo, I can't remember what right now.

The earliest known case of infection with HIV-1 in a human was detected in a blood sample collected in 1959 from a man in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo. (How he became infected is not known.) Genetic analysis of this blood sample suggested that HIV-1 may have stemmed from a single virus in the late 1940s or early 1950s.

We know that the virus has existed in the United States since at least the mid- to late 1970s. From 1979–1981 rare types of pneumonia, cancer, and other illnesses were being reported by doctors in Los Angeles and New York among a number of male patients who had sex with other men. These were conditions not usually found in people with healthy immune systems.
