HIV/AIDS :The most important infectious disease to have emerged in the past century.
• 1979-1981: First cases of unusual immune deficiency in USA
• 1983: HIV-1 identified as the cause of AIDS
• 1985: second HIV virus identifed in West Africa (HIV-2)

HIV-2 Adapted from Tebit & Arts, 2011 How long is HIV present in human population?
• 20 years before recognition of first AIDS cases in the US: HIV circulated in Africa – 1960/1959: Kinshasa, DRC HIV-1 M subtype A and B/D – 1964 : norvegian sailor HIV-1 O most likely contaminated in Cameroon
• Most common recent ancestors (MRCA) – HIV-1 group M early 1900 (1908) group O around 1920 Group N © byaround author 1960 Group P described in 2009
