If you can find the March 19th, 1992 issue of (of all things) Rolling Stone, there is an informative article about the polio/aids theory.
In sum, some of the polio vaccines of the 1950's were grown in monkey kidney cells. Some monkey virus' can "jump the gap" between monkey and humans (for instance the lethal "Monkey-B" herpes virus, which is still occasionally killing people (mostly from monkey bites), and "SV40", a known immunity-dampener, found in 1961.) All of the widely-used polio vaccines of this era potentially carried monkey viruses of one sort or another.
From 1957-1960, the theorized infected polio vaccine was given to up to half-a-million people in the Congo. (Since the HIV virus wasn't isolated until 1983, it is not surprising that it "got by" in the late 1950's.) One of the heaviest occurances of aids is in this area (the first known occurance of HIV was from blood drawn in 1959, analyzed in 1986 -- from Leopoldville (now Kinshasha, Zaire)). Albert Sabin (developer of the "sugar cube" polio vaccine) found a rogue virus he never did identify in 1959 in the vaccine use in the Congo (produced by Dr. Hilary Koprowski, one of several polio vaccine makers at the time).
However, the vaccine was give by oral spray, and most experts will swear up, down, and sideways that you can't get HIV by swallowing it (on the other hand, if you have a lesion in your mouth, or inhale the spray, so that the virus could get directly to blood, you might become infected.)
So anyway, its possible. His argument is population control,, ... there is positively no evidence for this. ... from CDC in atlanta.
