Here is the NY Times first mention of what would years later become known as AIDS.

"RARE CANCER SEEN IN 41 HOMOSEXUALS
By LAWRENCE K. ALTMAN
Published: July 3, 1981
Doctors in New York and California have diagnosed among homosexual men 41 cases of a rare and often rapidly fatal form of cancer. Eight of the victims died less than 24 months after the diagnosis was made.
The cause of the outbreak is unknown, and there is as yet no evidence of contagion."
The NY Times didn't know the cause in July of 1981, but you knew years earlier? BS
"The great AIDS scare of the 1970's" Some people will make absurd impossible claims to feel important, and wind up looking pathetic.
OMG..I cant believe that you are this fucking dense.
I will take it real slow and deliberate so that even someone as brain dead as you are can understand
It was named AIDS after the CDC started tracking it in 81. Prior to that they didnt have an official name for it, but it was around as I am about to show you once again.
The CDC started tracking and calling it aids in 81 because in 81 it started affecting Hetero's as well as Homosexuals, and was then classified as an epidemic.. Prior to Heteros getting it, the govt didnt give a shit cause it was strictly a *** persons disease. People called it *** Cancer, Kaposi's Sarcoma etc.. In 81 they started tracking it and calling it AIDS which is the name then given to it. AIDs was around as far back as the 60's but there wasn't a formal name for it.
You seem to think because it wasn't named AIDS before 81 it didn't exist..It most certainly did, and here is yet more proof to show you that..

"Earliest Evidence of HIV Infection in the United States
Although AIDS was not recognized as a new clinical syndrome until 1981, researchers examining the earlier medical literature identified cases appearing to fit the AIDS surveillance definition as early as the 1950s and 1960s.(12) Frozen tissue and serum samples were available for one of these possible early AIDS cases, a 15-year-old black male from St. Louis who was hospitalized in 1968 and died of an aggressive, disseminated KS.(13) His tissue and serum specimens were HIV-antibody positive on Western blot and antigen-positive on ELISA. This appears to be the first confirmed case of HIV infection in the United States. The patient had no history of travel out of the country, so it is likely that some other persons in the United States were infected with HIV as long ago as the 1960s, if not earlier."
So..Do you now understand that although it wasnt formally called AIDS, the disease was around in the 70s? If you can't see that, there is no hope for you. I have showed you article after article referencing AIDS back to the 70's and even earlier..
The old saying "You can bring a horse to water but ya can't make him drink", certainly applies to you
Maybe this will convince you??

"Not too many people knew about the HIV AIDS epidemic in the 1970s. It was mistaken for a kind of cancer called Kaposi’s sarcoma, wherein a person gets weaker by the day. No one could figure out the reason behind such weakness and loss of immunity until the 1980s, when the disease took the shape of pandemic and expanded its tentacles in all the four largest continents, USA, Europe, Africa and Asia. There was no other option, but to contemplate on HIV in the 1980s it, as it demanded so many lives around the globe."
And here is yet another article documenting it back to the 70's
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/10/071029-aids-haiti.html
"HIV went directly from Africa to Haiti, then spread to the United States and much of the rest of the world beginning around 1969, suggests an international team of researchers.
When AIDS was officially recognized in 1981 in the U.S., for instance, the unusually high prevalence of the disease in Haitian immigrants fueled speculation that the Caribbean island was the source of the mysterious illness.
Another theory held that the AIDS epidemic spread from the U.S. in the mid-1970s after Haiti became a popular destination for sex tourism."
"When AIDS was officially recognized in 1981 in the U.S."
This backs up my point about it not being recognized as AIDS till the 80's but was around before
"Using advanced statistical techniques, Worobey and his colleagues estimated that the subtype B strain reached Haiti sometime around 1966 and the United States around 1969.
"Until AIDS was initially recognized in 1981, the virus was cryptically [hiddenly] circulating in a sophisticated medical environment for the better part of 12 years," Worobey said."
Here is another reference to it being here in the 70's
