1. Introduction Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is caused by human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and type 2 (HIV-2). HIV-2 is largely confined to West Africa and countries with socioeconomic ties to the region, like Portugal and France [1]. Currently, it is estimated that approximately 1–2 million people worldwide are infected with HIV-2, accounting for 3–5% of the global burden of HIV [2,3].
