What about HIV indicates it should be under selection to evolve new protein-protein interactions? It's a highly successful virus that seems to be doing just fine as it is.
In contest, the evolution of HIV from SIV opened up an enormous new reservoir of potential hosts. If you want to look at interesting evolutionary events, you look there.
Behe hasn't. What does that tell us?
No, he doesn't look at the malarial parasite. He looks at a single gene where mutations enable drug resistance. That's it.
