Using nucleotide sequence data of AIDS virus strains isolated from patients at various locations of the world, we examined the phylogenetic relationships among AIDS virus strains. In particular, a phylogenetic tree for AIDS virus strains was constructed using the estimated numbers of nucleotide substitutions. The phylogenetic tree constructed shows that AIDS viruses can be classified into the two major groups; "HIV-1 group" and "HIV-2 group". Evolutionary features of these virus groups were discussed from the viewpoint of molecular epidemiology.
