Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: To characterize HIV-1 molecular epidemiology and identify novel circulating recombinant forms (CRFs) among antiretroviral therapy (ART)-naïve heterosexuals in Yunnan, China, and evaluate their clinical impact. METHODS: This study examined 636 HIV-1 pol sequences to analyze genetic diversity, pretreatment drug resistance (PDR), and transmission networks. Near full-length genomes were obtained to...
