 HIV-2 is a related to HIV-1 but is much less common, limited generally to certain western regions in Africa, progresses more slowly (often less severe) to clinical disease/AIDS, is more difficult to assess (HIV-2 plasma levels not generally available) and treat (some of the key HIV-1 drugs not active against HIV-2) but there is treatment available depending on region/availability (typically a boosted protease inhibitor based regimen).
