Simian Immunodeficiency Virus

Scientists have developed an effective treatment strategy against the Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV) in rhesus macaques, an advance that may lead to a new therapy for HIV infection in humans.

While the HIV epidemic continues to threaten health and well-being of a large section of the world's population, scientists have warned that new forms of the virus jumping from animals to humans cannot be ruled out.

Researchers have found evidence that strains of chimpanzee-carried simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV), including those responsible for the global HIV pandemic, can infect human cells.
