The HIV-1 has evolved swiftly and the scenario of HIV-1 genetic diversity is constantly
changing. In South America, recombinant forms of subtypes B, F1, and BF1 have historically …

Background Molecular epidemiology techniques allow us to track the HIV-1 transmission
dynamics. Herein, we combined genetic, clinical and epidemiological data collected during …

Introduction Rates of new HIV-1 diagnoses are increasing in Australia, with evidence of an
increasing proportion of non-B HIV-1 subtypes reflecting a growing impact of migration and …

The phylogeographic history of the Brazilian HIV-1 subtype C (HIV-1C) epidemic is still
unclear. Previous studies have mainly focused on the capital cities of Brazilian federal …

Introduction: The widespread use of antiretroviral therapy increased the transmission of
antiretroviral resistant HIV strains. Antiretroviral therapy initiation during acute/recent HIV …

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 …

We aimed to characterize HIV-1 molecular epidemiology and transmission clusters among
heterosexual (HET) and men who have sex with men (MSM) individuals, as well as …

The high incidence of AIDS cases and the dominance of HIV-1 subtype C infections are two
features that distinguish the HIV-1 epidemic in the two southernmost Brazilian states (Rio …

INTRODUCTION: Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) has spread worldwide, with
several subtypes and circulating recombinant forms. Brazil has an incidence of 20.5 HIV …

The remarkable viral diversity remains a big challenge to the development of HIV vaccines
and optimal therapy worldwide. In the latest years, as a consequence of the large expansion …
