Extensive HIV-1 Intra-Host Recombination Is Common in Tissues with Abnormal Histopathology

Abstract excerpt

There is evidence that immune-activated macrophages infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) are associated with tissue damage and serve as a long-lived viral reservoir during therapy. In this study, we analyzed 780 HIV genetic sequences generated from 53 tissues displaying normal and abnormal histopathology.
