Undetectable plasma viral load predicts normal survival in HIV-2-infected people in a West African village

TL;DR: A substantial proportion of HIV-2 infected subjects in this cohort have stable plasma viral load, and those with an undetectable viral load at study entry had a normal survival rate: strikingly, mortality in this group was similar to that of the general population.
Journal ArticleDOI

Two distinct epidemics: the rise of HIV-1 and decline of HIV-2 infection between 1990 and 2007 in rural Guinea-Bissau.

TL;DR: HIV-1 incidence is stable, and its prevalence is increasing, whereas HIV-2 incidence and prevalence are both declining, in contrast with what has been observed in other sub-Saharan countries, HIV-1 prevalence is lower in younger age groups than older age groups.
