Abstract excerpt
The envelope-coding sequence of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) was determined for 11 Thai seroconverters between 1995 and 1996. On the basis of the env sequences, all subjects were infected with HIV subtype E. Compared with the interpatient protein diversity among HIV-1 Thai reference sequences from 1990 to 1992 (4.4%), the diversity among the 1995-1996 seroconverters was approximately double (9.5%)....
