A member asked:
Could one infected with both hiv-1 and hiv-2 at a time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Infection with either hiv-1 or hiv-2 is not protective against a superimposed infection by the other virus. So in theory, yes, one could get both in one individual. Hiv-2 is fairly uncommon in the us so infection with it is unlikely.
