[Ancient serological traces of infections by the human immunodeficiency virus HIV-1 and HIV-2 in sub-saharan Africa. A different geography].
Despite of some heavy methodological limitations, the analysis of some serological data collected before 1985 allows to establish the selective regional distribution of the two infections. HIV-2 is prevalent in the West African sites which are studied and he has been observed since the sixties. The foci and the sporadic cases of the HIV-1 which are known are localized principally in the East-Central Africa. (Research done under the sponsorship of the A.N.R.S. (Paris)).
