Several theories have been put forward to explain the first emergence of HIV virus Name one such theory about the origin of HIV. Answer: square

One theory about the origin of HIV is the "cut hunter" theory. This theory suggests that the virus may have originated from a non-human primate, possibly a chimpanzee, which was hunted and cut open by a human. The virus could have then transferred to the human, who may have been exposed to the animal's blood or other bodily fluids. This theory is supported by the fact that the HIV virus is similar to viruses found in non-human primates, and that the virus is believed to have crossed the species barrier from animals to humans.
