Enhancing the activity of the PLK protein directly inhibits the release of viruses in an HIV and/or SIV-infected cell. The present invention provides a new target for diagnosis and antiviral therapy of HIV and/or SIV infection, provides medication basis and guarantee for the early rapid detection and extremely early treatment of virus infection, and has important clinical value.
