Abstract
Many new circulating recombinant forms (CRFs) and unique recombinant forms (URFs) of human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) have been discovered in populations with multiple circulating HIV-1 genotypes. In this study, we report two novel URFs derived from two HIV-1-positive individuals in Hebei, China, who were infected through homosexual (BDD142) and heterosexual (BDD154) contact. Phylogenetic and recombinant analyses of the two NFLG revealed that they are second-generation recombinant strains originating from the CRF01_AE cluster 4/B and CRF01_AE cluster 5/B strains. The BDD142 viral genome consists of a subtype B fragment inserted into a CRF01_AE backbone, whereas the BDD154 virus genome consists of two subtype B fragments inserted into a CRF01_AE backbone. Prompt monitoring of molecular epidemiological shifts of HIV-1 within sexually transmitted populations and enhanced behavioral interventions targeting this group are imperative to mitigate the spread of HIV-1 effectively.
期刊介绍：
AIDS Research and Human Retroviruses was the very first AIDS publication in the field over 30 years ago, and today it is still the critical resource advancing research in retroviruses, including AIDS. The Journal provides the broadest coverage from molecular biology to clinical studies and outcomes research, focusing on developments in prevention science, novel therapeutics, and immune-restorative approaches. Cutting-edge papers on the latest progress and research advances through clinical trials and examination of targeted antiretroviral agents lead to improvements in translational medicine for optimal treatment outcomes.
AIDS Research and Human Retroviruses coverage includes:
HIV cure research
HIV prevention science
- Vaccine research
- Systemic and Topical PreP
Molecular and cell biology of HIV and SIV
Developments in HIV pathogenesis and comorbidities
Molecular biology, immunology, and epidemiology of HTLV
Pharmacology of HIV therapy
Social and behavioral science
Rapid publication of emerging sequence information.
