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
