The HIV epidemic in Eastern Europe and Russia is large and not well-controlled. To
describe the more recent molecular epidemiology of HIV-1, transmitted drug resistance, and …

HIV-1 subtype B is the predominant strain in Bulgaria, yet little is known about the molecular
epidemiology of these infections, including its origin and transmissibility. We used a …

Background HIV integrase inhibitor use is limited by low genetic barrier to resistance and
possible cross-resistance among representatives of this class of antiretrovirals. The aim of …

Natural polymorphisms of HIV-1, often associated with drug resistance, are widely described
in protease and reverse transcriptase regions but data on their presence in the integrase …

HIV-1 protease-reverse transcriptase sequences from 62 HIV-1-infected individuals recently
diagnosed in Moscow were analyzed. Subtype A former Soviet Union (FSU)(AFSU) variant …

The increasing use of the integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI) class for the treatment of
HIV-infection has pointed to the importance of analyzing the features of HIV-1 subtypes for …

Abstract During the period 1996–1997, three highly homogeneous variants of HIV‐1 were
identified, circulating among injecting drug users (IDUs) in the former Soviet Union …

Introduction With the widespread introduction of the integrase (In) inhibitors into clinical
practice, transmission of drug resistance to this class of antiretroviral medications may …

The preexistence of mutations to integrase inhibitors in HIV-1-infected Venezuelan patients
was evaluated. The integrase region of the HIV-1 genome was amplified by nested-PCR …

To study the molecular epidemiology of HIV-1 in Belarus, where the rapid spread of HIV-1
has been registered since 1996, we obtained HIV-1 sequences from 30 individuals living in …
