HIV infection of Chimps

[Naomi Gayle Housman]

I have been doing some preliminary reading on HIV-1 infection of 
Chimpanzees.  I was wondering if anyone has any insight into why 
chimpanzees don't develop AIDS after infection with HIV-1, despite the 
relatively high viral burden in lymph nodes and PBL???

Thanks in advance,
