HIV-2 is genetically similar to another virus that causes an AIDS-like disease in monkeys.

Two prominent scientists have questioned the significance of a report of a possible new virus causing an AIDS-like disease.

Neither worker has shown any symptoms of an AIDS-like disease.

An experimental vaccine developed from a genetically altered virus has completely protected monkeys against an AIDS-like disease for more than four years, scientists said today.

None of the monkeys have shown any evidence of illness from the AIDS-like disease for up to 55 weeks after the challenge injections, the authors said.

An experimental vaccine derived from a virus that causes an AIDS-like disease in monkeys protected two monkeys from the disease.

Published in 1996, the AIDS-like disease serves as backdrop and plot device to examine human relationships in circumstances of extreme duress.

SIV causes an AIDS-like disease in some monkey species.

Rather, its main significance lies in adding yet another member to the family of viruses that can cause AIDS-like diseases in humans and other primates.

The first recognition of the emergence of an AIDS-like disease occurred in Los Angeles in 1981.
