1. Just because you have a lot of wives, it doesn't mean you can just get an STD.

2. Having lots of sex doesn't give you AIDS straight away.

3. It was in the olden times, they probably didn't know AIDS was a thing.

4. Even if they did know AIDS existed, there would have been no way to check if somebody had it.

Answer:

Firstly, let us begin with an introduction to HIV.

HIV is the virus which causes AIDS. Until around 1920 it was confined as a virus infecting only chimpanzees in Congo, Africa.

Then the story comes to a little disagreement. But this is the general theory.

People from the area hunted and ate the infected meat and the virus underwent a few mutations in the human body to become HIV virus as we know it today.

The first reported case was seen only in 1980 in France and in India in 1989 in Chennai.

So after a little history, why did a King with many wives not get it?

Reason 1: it did not exist back then at the time when Kings had many wives

Reason 2: HIV has ten times more risk for a male to female spread rather than a female to male spread as the sperm acts as a vehicle for HIV and women are in longer contact with the secretion.

Reason 3 : As a closed group of people in intimacy, there is a much lesser risk of a foreign sexually transmitted infection. The only way is poor hygiene which we can assume that kings and queens did not have.
