I can only see one reference to XMRV in themed discussion.(in orange).

No great interest..

One other mention:

"XMRV and GBV Virus-Host Interaction"

More information about GBV virus:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GB_virus_C

GB virus C (GBV-C), formerly known as Hepatitis G virus (HGV), is a virus in the Flaviviridae family which has not yet been assigned to a genus, is known to infect humans, but is not known to cause human disease. There have been reports that HIV patients coinfected with GBV-C can survive longer than those without GBV-C, but the patients may be different in other ways. There is current active research into the virus' effects on the immune system in patients coinfected with GBV-C and HIV.

This is definitely new for me. Having another virus might actually be beneficial...
