The extensive genetic diversity of HIV-1 is a major challenge for the prevention and
treatment of HIV-1 infections. Subtype C accounts for most of the HIV-1 infections in the …

Abstract The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is characterized by low and stable HIV
prevalences and high HIV-1 genetic diversity and is most probably the epicenter of HIV-1 …

Humanimmunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) subtypes are distributed unevenly across
African nations. 1 In East and Central African countries such as Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya …

Objective: To investigate the origin and to reconstruct the onset date of the HIV-1 subtype C
epidemic in Brazil. Design: Three independent datasets of subtype C sequences isolated …

While abundant sequence information is available from human immunodeficiency virus type
1 (HIV-1) subtypes A, B, C and CRF01_AE for HIV-1 vaccine design, sequences from West …

Drug users are increasingly recognized as a key population driving human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) spread in sub-Saharan Africa. To determine HIV-1 subtypes …

The HIV-1 epidemic in South America is dominated by pure subtypes (mostly B and C) and
more than 7 BF and BC recombinant forms. In Argentina, circulating recombinant forms …

Worldwide, the distribution of HIV-1 subtypes and intersubtype recombinants is not
homogeneous. In Latin America and the Caribbean, HIV-1 subtype B predominates …

Objective: To characterize the subtype C strains of HIV type 1 that circulate in Brazil,
especially those originated from the southern part of the country. Design and methods: One …

To assess the molecular epidemiology of HIV-1 in Republic of Congo (Congo), we
