High frequency of new recombinant forms in HIV-1 transmission networks demonstrated by full genome sequencing.
The HIV-1 epidemic in Belgium is primarily driven by MSM. In this patient population subtype B predominates but an increasing presence of non-B subtypes has been reported. We aimed to define to what extent the increasing subtype heterogeneity in a high at risk population induces the formation and spread of new recombinant forms. The study focused on transmission networks that reflect the local transmission to an important extent. One hundred and five HIV-1 transmission clusters were identified after phylogenetic analysis of 2849 HIV-1 pol sequences generated for the purpose of baseline drug re... Mehr ...
