Answer:
False.
Explanation:
It's been said that HIV was originated in The Democratic Republic of Congo in 1920s, it was passed from chimpanzees to humans, but that's not a precise fact, neither the number of infected people back then in the region.
On the other hand, according to the history of HIV/AIDS, the first cases of Human Immunodeficiency Virus in the United States were in Los Angeles in 1981, a rare lung infection appeared in five young men. At the same time, it was reported in New York and California an aggressive cancer named Kaposi’s Sarcoma. At the end of 1981 was reported 270 cases of severe immunodeficiency problems among homosexual people.
Therefore, when it's about United States, HIV wasn't firstly reported in 1924, the statement is false.
