AIDS tests. HIV-Z, discovered in 1984, genetieaiw resembles HIV-t, the virus that causes AIDS 10th in the United States, and SW, the virus that causes an AiDS-iihe disease in monkeys. in a report in tadayk New Ehgtahd Journal of Medicihe, doctors train the Pasteur institute in Paris shows that HIM can cause hauired immune Dehcency Syndrome indistinguishable from that triggered by HtV-t. Doctors relay that the virus has been iaeah'zed tor the most part in West Africa, but that there is no reason why this epidemic could not spread over Attica and Europe GI other countries like HIM did, Earlier, Pasteur reseeiehers reported hndihg HIV-2 in two AIDS patients and another 30 documented cases at HIV? infection, pro vidihg strong evidence that the virus ecthah'y causes the cheese. The two viruses appear to attach the body in similar ways. just what this means for hhding an AIDS vaccme is unclear.
