+# Dataset Description 
+
+
+## Dataset Summary
+
+This dataset was parsed from the Human-HIV Interaction dataset maintained by the NCBI. 
+It contains a >16,000 pairs of interactions between HIV and Human proteins.
+Sequences of the interacting proteins were retrieved from the NCBI protein database and added to the dataset.
+The raw data is available from the [NBCI FTP site](https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/GeneRIF/hiv_interactions.gz) and the curation strategy is described in the [NAR Research paper](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4383939/) announcing the dataset.

+## Dataset Structure
+
+### Data Instances
+
+Data Fields: hiv_protein_product, hiv_protein_name, interaction_type, human_protein_product, human_protein_name, reference_list, description, hiv_protein_sequence, human_protein_sequence
+
+Data Splits: None 
+ 
+## Dataset Creation
+
+Curation Rationale: This dataset was curated train models to recognize proteins that interact with HIV.
+
+Initial Data Collection and Normalization: Dataset was downloaded and curated on 4/4/2022 but the most recent update of the underlying NCBI database was 2016. 
+
+## Considerations for Using the Data
+
+Discussion of Biases: This dataset of protein interactions was manually curated by experts utilizing published scientific literature.
+This inherently biases the collection to well-studied proteins and known interactions.
+The dataset does not contain _negative_ interactions.
