- If anyone wants a copy of the sequences, send me email, and then you can
- compare the sequences yourself. There's no big coverup here: HIV-1 is
- similar to SIV, HIV-2 is very similar to SIV, and neither are similar to
- the human leukemia virus (HTLV) or bovine leukemia virus (BLV) or sheep visna
- (OLV). End of conspiracy theory.
