Abstract excerpt
Detailed characterization of transmitted HIV-1 variants in Uganda is fundamentally important to inform vaccine design, yet studies on the transmitted full-length strains of subtype D viruses are limited. Here, we amplified single genomes and characterized viruses, some of which were previously classified as subtype D by sub-genomic pol sequencing that were transmitted in Uganda between December 2006 to June 2011....
