Identification of Subtype B, Multiple Circulating Recombinant Forms and Unique Recombinants of HIV Type 1 in an MSM Cohort in China [PDF]
AIDS Research and Human Retroviruses, 2008 To study HIV-1 genetic diversity among HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM) in China, a cohort consisting of HIV-positive MSM was established in 2005 and was monitored every 2 years. In 2007, 44 HIVpositiveMSM subjects were genotyped, and the results showed HIV-1 subtype B decreased from 77.5% to41.9%, but non-B subtypes increased rapidly ...
