Abstract excerpt
HIV-1 CRF07_BC became prevalent in Taiwan after the epidemic among injection drug users (IDUs). We describe a unique recombinant form (URF) consisting of CRF01_AE and CRF07_BC (named URF_0107-H8) genes detected from an IDU. The 8.8 kb near full-length genome of URF_0107-H8 had a CRF01_AE backbone with two CRF07_BC fragments in the reverse transcriptase and integrase region [RT-Int; HXB2 nucleotide (nt) positions...
