Why would it?

    Just nuts. Simple question - why are we convinced this is _not_ happening in some animal reservoir?

    Why would it?

    It would be multiple lineages going into animal reservoirs and then popping back out again.

    But yeah - untreated HIV infection seems like it would make a person a perfect incubator to generate variants.
