Sequence Notes: Identification of Three Novel HIV-1 Recombinant Strains with Different Recombination Patterns in Hebei Province, China.

Abstract excerpt

The global human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) pandemic is driven by the extraordinary genetic diversity of the virus, largely resulting from frequent recombination events. These events generate circulating recombinant forms (CRFs) and unique recombinant forms, which significantly contribute to the complexity of HIV-1 epidemiology, especially within key populations, such as men who have sex with men (MSM)....
