Fatality?

>There is nothing in here as to how serious an infection is to people.

It is not known to be fatal to any primate, including humans, to my knowledge Pagelm (talk) 18:11, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

SFV relation to HIV

Without any citations to back the articles statements up, it seems more likely to me that the author of the tie-in text is confused by 3 letter acronyms for viruses. SIV has been shown to be taxonomically related to HIV (such that there have been at LEAST 2 incidences of zoonotic transfer). I'm not aware of a link between SFV and HIV - certainly it has a very different mode of action. Pagelm (talk) 18:11, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
