| 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. |
| Annotation: | infection = HIV INFECTIONS but note specifics; do not confuse the old name HTLV-III with the Deltaretrovirus HTLV-3 |
