Progression of SIV infection in monkeys raises
A sudden loss of T cells -- white blood cells crucial to the immune system -- is not the trigger for the onset of AIDS, according to a study published in the September 2007 issue of the Journal of Immunology by a team of researchers at Tulane National Primate Research Center. The study, Acute ...The Deadly Evolution of SIV to HIV
According to a study it was found that a mutation led to the deadly change from benign SIV in apes and monkeys to a deadly infection called AIDS in humans. // Statistics show that the disease in man has killed more than 25 million people in 25 years.

In 2005, 40.3 million people in the world, including 25.8 million in Sub-Saharan Africa, were living with HIV.
