    Author: Burke M, Vonsover A, Yust I, Shlomo-David Y, Zeldis I, Rudich C, Vardinon ND.
    Journal: Isr J Med Sci; 1994 Dec; 30(12):895-7. PubMed ID: 8002271.
    Abstract:
    AIDS may be caused by two different retroviruses, HIV-1 and HIV-2. Hitherto only HIV-1 has been reported in Israel. We recently discovered HIV-2 as a solitary pathogen in the blood of two foreign workers from West Africa. In view of the relative ease of travel to Israel, it is essential to perform screening for both HIV viruses in all subjects with an enhanced risk, including visitors from countries with a high incidence of HIV-1 or HIV-2 infection and their contacts.
