ABSTRACT Nonhuman primates (NHPs) have emerged as an indispensable model for studying HIV pathogenesis, vaccines, and therapies. The development of chimeric Simian/Human immunodeficiency viruses (SHIVs) has been constructed by inserting HIV‐1 Env into the SIV (usually SIVmac239) backbone, and these have proved essential for evaluating HIV neutralizing ...
