Abstract excerpt
Geographic variation in the HIV-1 virus is extensive but incompletely documented. We herein report the first genetic characterization of HIV-1 isolates from Zambia. The genomic region encoding the GAG polyprotein has been compared among 22 Zambian isolates and 14 North American isolates using a c...
