Do I need a letter of invitation or Affidavit of Support to receive a visitor visa from the United States?

No, you do not. 
​
According to the U.S. State Department...

Visa applicants must qualify on the basis of the applicant's residence and ties abroad, rather than assurances from U.S. family and friends. A letter of invitation or Affidavit of Support is not needed to apply for a visitor visa. If you choose to bring a letter of invitation or Affidavit of Support to your interview, please remember it is not one of the factors used in determining whether to issue or deny the visa.
