Abstract excerpt
It is universally acknowledged that genetic diversity is a hallmark of HIV-1 infection, and it is one of the traits that has considerably hampered the development of an effective vaccine. In a study of full-length HIV-1 genomic sequences (>9 kb), we show unique evidence for complete absence of viral evolution in an individual with truly nonprogressive infection. Gross gene defects were not detected, but the state...
