Abstract:HIV infection is still a public health problem in sub-Saharan Africa. The broad diversity exhibited by HIV-1 may impact on transmission, disease progression, drug resistance and vaccine development. Most analyses of HIV-1 subtype distribution have been on partial HIV-1 gene sequences, which may not adequately reflect the circulating subtypes. The objective of this study was to estimate the HIV-1 subtype distribution in sub-Saharan Africa using only full-length genome sequences. Using available HIV-1 full-lengt… Show more
