Transmission of SIV to humans



Here are a couple of pictures that Dr. Nemechek provided us. They show how the apes are slaughtered at the Kinsasha meat market in Africa, which is how the SIV virus was transfered to humans. The conditions are not very sanitary and there is no regulation on testing of the animals before they are sold. Many people have misconceptions about how humans were infected with SIV, so this will, hopefully, help.
