This is no longer true. See:

'Uncanny similarity of unique inserts in the 2019-nCoV spike protein to HIV-1 gp120 and Gag'

https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.01.30.927871v1

These are findings from IIT researchers who have found "uncanny" similarities between nCov and HIV which could increase virality.

This finding has been debunked in the meanwhile though. The suspicious inserts are fairly short and NOT unique to HIV.
