no but it is related to HIV.

Some monkey in Afica got siv like hiv.
Only humans can have HIV's Monkeys have SIV's.
SIV studies have shown about 100 ID50 for HIV-2 and 1,000 for HIV-1.
Although HIV is believed to have evolved from a similar virus in monkeys it is not the same in monkeys, this variant is known as SIV (Simian Immunodeficiency Virus)
SIV stands for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, which is a virus that affects the immune system of cats. It is similar to HIV in humans and can lead to a weakened immune system, making the cat more susceptible to infections and other illnesses. There is no cure for SIV, but with proper care, infected cats can live long and relatively healthy lives.
Yes, HIV can infect monkeys, causing a similar disease known as Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV). However, the specific strains of HIV that infect humans do not typically infect monkeys, and vice versa. Cross-species transmission events can occur in certain circumstances.
Simian Immunodefficiency Virus affects simians, or apes.
Current research indicates the most likely source of HIV in humans was the mutation and subsequent propagation of a SIV (simian immunodeficiency virus) in central Africa. It is thought SIV mutated into a proto-HIV several times over the early 1900s, but the infection died out in each time until it was transmitted to urban areas and then to the United States where it suddenly exploded into an epidemic.
HIV is believed to be a mutated version of a virus that is naturally occurring in certain primate species (ex. monkey, chimpanzee). The virus in primates is called SIV (simian immunodeficiency virus).
In primates axist a virus that seems to be identic with HIV but it doesent infect the human celles.his name it is SIV
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) originates from SIV (Simina Immunodeficiency Virus) Its believed to have crossed over from primates to Humans perhaps via consumption (One would hope) in West Africa.
HIV was a crossover disease from SIV (Simian immunodefiency virus) Its believed to have originated in west Africa,most likely from Human consumption of primates.
