Abstract
Current knowledge on the distribution of primates hosting HIV-related SIVs suggests that epidemiological, primatological, anthropological and molecular biological studies in the areas of Cameroon, Gabon, both Congos and Equatorial Guinea (for HIV-1) and Guinea-Bissau, Senegal, Guinea, Ivory Cost, Sierra Leone and Liberia (for HIV-2) could lead to the discoveries of correlates of protection against HIVs. It is also hypothesized that virology studies in the same areas might reveal less virulent and/or infective viruses which could provide insights in the HIV pathogenesis and vaccinology.
