Human Immunodeficiency Virus

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a lentivirus (a subgroup of retrovirus) that causes HIV infection and over time acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). HIV infect human which leads to paralysis of the immune system by destructing T lymphocytes and then blocks processes of the cellular immune and humoral immune, eventually leads to AIDS. Recently, there are four HIV strains, named M, N, O, and P type, all come from Cameroon chimpanzees and gorillas. Each of these four species has unique source, and we now know that the most widely spread of M and N have been confirmed from chimpanzees, while the rare O and P types have been confirmed from gorillas of southwestern Cameroon.
