HIV-1 Genetic Diversity and High Prevalence of Pretreatment Drug Resistance in Tianjin, China.

abstract：:An atypical HIV-1 strain (CAM001) was identified in a pregnant Cameroonian woman in 1995. HMA subtyping of the env region was unsuccessful, and sequence analyses were performed. Unique sequence motifs were found at the V3 tip (GAGRALHA and GAGRAWIHA), and phylogenetic studies showed that the env C2-V5 sequence branche...
