Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: In southern Cameroon, where SIV(cpz), the source of human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) group M, is prevalent among wild chimpanzees, approximately 50% of some human birth cohorts have been infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) through unclear mechanisms. METHODS: To evaluate indirectly the hypothesis that medical interventions contributed to the early emergence of HIV-1, we conducted a...
