Identification of Two New HIV-1 Circulating Recombinant Forms (CRF87_cpx and CRF88_BC) from Reported Unique Recombinant Forms in Asia [PDF]
The on-going generation of HIV-1 intersubtype recombination has led to new circulating recombinant forms (CRFs) and unique recombinant forms (URFs) in Asia. In this study, we evaluated whether previously reported URFs were actually CRFs.

Near full genome characterization of HIV‐1 unique recombinant forms in Cameroon reveals dominant CRF02_AG and F2 recombination patterns [PDF]
AbstractIntroductionIn Cameroon, a manifold diversity of HIV strains exists with CRF02_AG and unique recombinant forms (URFs) being the predominant strains. In recent years, a steady increase in URFs and clade F2 viruses has been monitored through partial genome sequencing.

Genome Sequence of Complex HIV-1 Unique Recombinant Forms Sharing a Common Recombination Breakpoint Identified in Malaysia [PDF]
ABSTRACT Three strains of HIV-1 unique recombinant forms (URFs) descended from subtypes B, B′, and CRF01_AE were identified among people who inject drugs in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. These three URFs shared a common recombination breakpoint in the reverse transcriptase region, indicating frequent linkage within the drug-injecting networks in ...

Molecular characterization of a unique Recombinant form of HIV-1 subtype F2/CRF02_AG identified in Guangdong, China [PDF]
Background The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) pandemic continues to pose a significant global public health challenge. Recombination between HIV-1 variants generates unique recombinant forms (URFs) and then circulating recombinant forms ...

Identification and characterization of two human immunodeficiency virus type 1 unique recombinant forms from Yunnan, China [PDF]
Recombination contributes greatly to the diversity of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). A large number of recombinant strains have been found in China, particularly in Yunnan, which is considered the HIV-1 epicenter of China. Surveillance of unique recombinant forms is helpful for prediction of new circulating recombinant forms.

P20-05. Emergence of HIV-1 circulatory recombinant forms (CRFs) and unique recombinant forms (URFs) in North India: functional and pathogenic implications [PDF]
Background After documentation of first case of HIV/AIDS in commercial sex worker in 1986 in India, it has now spread to all the states over a period of 22 years and become a major public health problem in India. Sex trafficking and injecting drug users are the main source for driving HIV-1 epidemic here.

Emergence of HIV-1 unique DG recombinant form in Pakistan
After the first case of HIV infection in 1987, the number of cases has continuously increased in Pakistan, turning from isolated incidents to outbreaks to the concentrated epidemic. The HIV epidemic in Pakistan is mainly driven by subtype A, however, the
