Gaëtan Dugas, a French-Canadian flight attendant who was blamed for bringing HIV to the United States has been exonerated.
CNN reports that a new research conducted by an international team of scientists, proved that the flight attendant dubbed "patient zero," did not spread HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, to the United States.
"No one should be blamed for the spread of a virus that no one even knew about, and how the virus moved from the Caribbean to the US in New York City in the 1970s is an open question," co-author of the research, Dr. Michael Worobey, a professor and head of the ecology and evolutionary biology department at the University of Arizona, said at a news conference Tuesday.
