Lower HIV-2 plasma viral loads may explain differences between the natural histories of HIV-1 and HIV-2 infections
Article Abstract:
HIV-2 does not appear to be as active as HIV-1. In a study of 155 HIV-infected people, viral reverse transcriptase activity was lower in those with HIV-2 infection than in those with HIV-1 infection.

Distribution of HIV-1 plasma RNA viral load and CD4 (super)+ T-cell counts among HIV-infected Africans evaluated for antiretroviral therapy
Article Abstract:
The authors discuss the availability of antiretroviral drug therapy for treating HIV-infected persons in Africa. They report that the access to early testing the treatment with antiretroviral drug therapy regimens will help to avoid virologic failure and to milimize drug resistance development.
