Abstract excerpt
We report here the isolation and envelope sequence of a divergent HIV-1 isolate from a French woman with AIDS. This virus, HIV-1VAU, is closely related to the recently described Cameroonian viral isolates HIV-1ANT70 and HIV-1MVP5180, until now designated HIV-1 subtype O. Phylogenetic analysis reveals that the three viruses are equidistant from one another and that their mutual divergence is similar to what has...
