How do you know it's most accepted? May I see the voting results? I already gave you the link. Did you read it? Just for the fun of it here is another from Wikipedia: Although a variety of theories exist explaining the transfer of HIV to humans, no single hypothesis is unanimously accepted, and the topic remains controversial. The most widely accepted theory is so called 'Hunter' Theory according to which transference from simian to human most likely occurred when a human was bitten by a monkey or was cut while butchering one, and the human became infected.[20] The Times published an article in 1987 stating that WHO suspected some kind of connection with its vaccine program and AIDS-epidemic. The story was almost entirely based on statements given by one unnamed WHO advisor. The theory was supported only by weak circumstantial evidence and is now disproven by unraveling the genetic code of the virus and finding out that the virus dates back to the 1930s.[21] From here: en.wikipedia.org Note that the prior link I gave you provided a good deal more data for this, including the fact that it most likely involved two sets of meat eaters, LOL! First the chimps got infected from two viral sources from eating other monkeys, then the humans got a combined virus from the chimps. And why would most accepted be better than a little less accepted? Find me another "little less accepted" theory and I'll happily look into it. Both articles I linked discuss the other theories and both note that there is still debate. They also both note that the one I highlighted is currently considered the most likely, for the reasons detailed. I didn't see any other theory described that would qualify as "a little less accepted". Which one did I miss? You make it all sound like a junior high school party. You are the one who for some reason does not want to even achieve junior high level science. Got me why!
