HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a virus that attacks the human immune system, grouped under the genus Lentivirus and family retroviridae. Studies say that HIV infection in humans originated from a chimpanzee in Central Africa and the virus that affects chimpanzees is called as Simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV).
