Yes HIV did come from African Primates. I believe current research supports a chimp origin. It is possibly a Chimp virus SIV that mutated when it transmitted to humans. It transmitted to humans through the eating of bush meat(chimps and monkeys etc.)
They are still not clear about the evidence. It needs more study.
A new chimp disease could devastate the chimps and other populations of animals. It also could transmit to humans with devastating consequences. It is good that they are monitoring the situation. that doesn't mean they can do anything.
