Scope note: Virus de inmunodeficiencia humana. Un término no taxonómico e histórico que se refiere a cualquiera de dos especies, específicamente el VIH-1 y/o VIH-2. Hasta el año 1986 se denominó virus linfotrópico T tipo III/virus asociado a linfadenopatía (HTLV-III/LAV). A partir de 1986-1990, existió una especie oficial denominada HIV. A partir de 1991, el termino HIV no se volvió a considerar como nombre oficial de las especies, quedando denominadas ambas especies como HIV-1 y HIV-2.

Scope note: Human immunodeficiency virus. A non-taxonomic and historical term referring to any of two species, specifically HIV-1 and/or HIV-2. Prior to 1986, this was called human T-lymphotropic virus type III/lymphadenopathy-associated virus (HTLV-III/LAV). From 1986-1990, it was an official species called HIV. Since 1991, HIV was no longer considered an official species name; the two species were designated HIV-1 and HIV-2.
