Mangabeys, macaques, and baboons persistently infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)‐2 NIH‐DZ demonstrated no signs of immunodeficiency disease after 6–11 months following seroconversion. Thus Old World monkeys provide an animal model to investigate the effects of passive immunization (anti‐HIV‐2 antibodies) on HIV infection in primates.
