Well, I personally wouldn't take the source at face value. Dr. Montagnier is almost 88 now (and not without criticism for some looney science about DNA being teleported), Jean-Claude Perez seems to be a bit a of a loon himself (having claimed, with no more data anywhere to back him up in the last decade, that all coding for human genes is structured by the Golden Ratio), and there's no indication that they were actually doing any sort of work in conjunction with an established university or laboratory.

The complete DNA sequence of SARS-CoV-2 has been publicly available from many worldwide sources since the beginning of the year. In fact, there are 1,084 different sequences on file at the National Center for Biotechnology Information at the U.S. National Institutes of Health. The latest U.S. sequencing was done March 19. Anyone can look at and download the files at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/sars-cov-2-seqs/.

The virus is only 30,000 base pairs long, which is tiny, and it's obviously being researched non-stop by institutions all over the globe. So what are the odds that Montagnier and Perez, working on their own with no citations as to what studies they actually conducted, and who are kind of way-out-there with some their past "science," would be the first to discover an engineered link between HIV and SARS-CoV-2 and then to announce it on a podcast of all places?

Color me skeptical about their claims.
