Abstract excerpt
We have examined the viral selection that may occur during transmission by studying the env gene sequences from four cases of mother-to-child transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1. The V3 region sequences were directly amplified from both plasma viral RNA and peripheral blood mononuclear cells containing proviral DNA from mothers at delivery and at the time of diagnosis for children. Transmission...
