How common is HIV2 ?

How common is HIV2 in other places than Africa? I heard it was common in France, Portugal as well is that true? What about Asia and Australia?

Again, it would most likely be present in immigrants from Africa. Forget about it.

thank you for your reply. I live in South Korea and when I looked up if Korea had HIV2 on the net, it said they do have it. That's when I started getting anxious.

HIV-2 is virtually absent outside of W. Africa or immigrants from W. Africa. It is not a concern for you.
