HIV‐1 subtypes in Spain: a retrospective analysis from 1995 to 2003
Tóm tắt
To perform a retrospective analysis of all HIV‐1 non‐B variants circulating in Spain from 1995 to 2003 and extend their virological characterization.
Samples from a total of 396 HIV‐infected subjects with epidemiological suspicion of being infected with non‐B clades were analysed during the study period. Subtyping was carried out on the protease (
There is great diversity in the HIV‐1 variants and recombinant viruses circulating in Spain. Non‐B sequences may be underestimated if only the
