Serological evidence for human immunodeficiency virus type 2 in east Africa.

Abstract:

:Infection by human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) has not previously been described in North or East Africa. We examined over 1200 sera of high-risk individuals from three North/East African countries for antibodies to HIV-2. Results indicated that 17 were repeatedly reactive by ELISA; 4 were confirmed by Western blot. Of the 4 confirmed, 2 produced strong reactions to the envelope antigens of HIV-2 but not of HIV-1. One of these subjects was a foreigner from Senegal who was tested while in Egypt and one was a Djiboutian prostitute who was infected presumably prior to October 1987. We conclude that HIV-2 has been introduced into this region and that specific testing of selected individuals for HIV-2 is warranted.
