We studied the feasibility of genotyping human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 2 groups A and B by real-time PCR. Two group-specific PCRs were developed. Real-time genotyping of 22 samples of genotype A, 10 samples of genotype B, and the isolate of new group H were compared to genotyping by sequencing and phylogeny. The group-specific PCRs specifically identified 84.3% of group A or B samples; isolate H was not...
