Abstract excerpt
HIV-1 subtype CRF01-AE predominates in south Asia and has spread throughout the world. The virus tropism must be determined before using CCR5 antagonists. Genotypic methods could be used, but the prediction algorithms may be inaccurate for non-B subtypes like CRF01-AE and the correlation with the phenotypic approach has not been assessed. We analyzed 61 CRF01-AE V3 clonal sequences of known phenotype from the...
