Grayson, I don't know if you are aware of this yet but there are two cases of HIV that have just been discovered, on the west coast I believe, that go to Full Blown AIDS in months instead of the 10 year dormant period. The very scary thing is that one of the people was a anomyous test clinic visitor and there is no way to contact them unless they check in for test results. Not Good.
There is no way for us to know exactly what has been cooked up in Bio-War labs on any side and in what year they were proficient in doing this. As none of this is susposed to be going on do you think they are going to announce on BBC :Flash! New Deadly Disease Discovered In Bio-War Laboratory!!. It does not matter which side. Hell, even using a cousin of Ebola or Ebola itself is not a impossible task. If they can insert the right DNA to make fish glow where they didn't before, anything is possible.
Since Stanley Cohen and Herbert Boyer's mile stone in Genetic Engineering in 1973, who knows what bright young genetisists have been sucked up by the military to go play with letters behind several closed hermeticaly sealed barriers.

Just a brief interjection here as I don't want to spoil the flow of debate.
HIV/AIDS: Our capacity to produce a virus with such a selective vector path offers us nothing in the way of useful Military applications. HIV is too limited in its deployment and takes too long to achieve a state of incapacitation, or death.
Technologically, in the late 40's when we would have had to be developing this, our technology was too limited and our understanding of the human body too primitive. We had not long discovered and started to use large-scale anti-biotics.
