Of course, lots of people who know that the AIDS virus is not "created" via gay sex or intravenous drug use also think that humans were "created." Even many who accept evolution still would say humans were "created."

That's really the wrong way to look at it. A virus isn't created, unless you're talking about how it first came to be. A virus is transmitted. An organism that is host to the virus transmits it to another organism. And we know how it's transmitted.
