Abstract Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1) is characterised by vast genetic
diversity. Globally circulating HIV-1 viruses are classified into distinct phylogenetic strains …

Because HIV is a fast-evolving virus, HIV genomic sequences of several individuals can be
used to investigate whether they belong to a transmission network. Since the infamous …

Background In 2015, an outbreak of HIV was identified among people who inject drugs
(PWID) in the Greater Glasgow and Clyde (GGC) area of Scotland, an area which distributes …

Background Transgender women are among the groups at highest risk for HIV infection, with
a prevalence of 27· 7% in the USA; and despite this known high risk, undiagnosed infection …

Drug resistant HIV is a major threat to the long-term efficacy of antiretroviral treatment.
Around 10% of ART-naïve patients in Europe are infected with drug-resistant HIV type 1 …

Background Harm reduction has dramatically reduced HIV incidence among people who
inject drugs (PWID). In Glasgow, Scotland,< 10 infections/year have been diagnosed among …

We compared the behavior of two approaches (Cluster Picker and HIV-TRACE) at varying
genetic distances to identify transmission clusters. We used three HIV gp41 sequence …

The prevalence of transmitted drug resistance (TDR) in antiretroviral therapy (ART)-naïve
individuals remains stable in most developed countries despite a decrease in the …

Background Characterizing HIV-1 transmission networks can be important in understanding
the evolutionary patterns and geospatial spread of the epidemic. We reconstructed the …

The prevalence of CRF07_BC is 39.7% and has become the most infectious HIV strain in
China. To study the transmission and diffusion trajectory of CRF07_BC in China and to …
