Human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) was first isolated in West Africa but the number of diagnosed infections is rising in western countries due to migration and international travels. This prompts for an increased surveillance by health authorities and improved diagnostic assays. This review summarizes the advances on our understanding of the transmission, clinical presentation, antiretroviral therapy, diagnostic tests, molecular epidemiology and historical dispersal patterns of HIV-2 infection.

Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) was first isolated in West Africa but the number of diagnosed infections is rising in western countries due to migration and international travels. This prompts for an increased surveillance by health authorities and improved diagnostic assays. This review summarizes the advances on our understanding of the transmission, clinical presentation, antiretroviral therapy, diagnostic tests, molecular epidemiology and historical dispersal patterns of HIV-2 infection.
