Abstract：
:We characterized HIV-1 subtypes among 204 persons newly diagnosed with HIV in Ontario from 2003 to 2005 using samples from the Canadian HIV Strain and Drug Resistance Surveillance Program. We examined HIV-1 subtype by demographic characteristics and exposure category, and determined independent predictors of infection with a non-B HIV subtype using multivariate logistic regression. The distribution of HIV subtypes was: B 77.0%, C 10.3%, AG 4.9%, A 2.5%, AE 2.5% and others 3.0%. Overall, 23.0% were non-B, greater in women than in men (62.8% versus 12.4%, P < 0.0001) and persons under 35 years (31.1% versus 18.5% in those ≥35, P = 0.04). Non-B subtype was predominant (78.9%) among persons from HIV-endemic regions and considerable (28.6%) among other persons infected heterosexually. In multivariate modelling adjusted for gender, non-B subtype was significantly associated with birth in an HIV-endemic region (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 59.2, P < 0.0001) and heterosexual exposure (aOR 6.3, P = 0.02). Additionally, compared with men who had sex with men, non-B subtype was greater among heterosexual women (aOR 17.8, P < 0.001) and women who injected drugs (injection drug use, aOR 13.4, P = 0.01). We found a non-negligible proportion of non-B subtypes among women infected heterosexually not from HIV-endemic countries, providing interesting insights into HIV transmission patterns.
