Unprecedented Degree of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) Group M Genetic Diversity in the Democratic Republic of Congo Suggests that the HIV-1 Pandemic Originated in Central Africa

TL;DR: The high number of HIV-1 subtypes cocirculating, the high intrasubtype diversity, and the high numbers of possible recombinant viruses as well as different unclassified strains are all in agreement with an old and mature epidemic in the DRC, suggesting that this region is the epicenter of HIV -1 group M.
Journal ArticleDOI

Geographic and temporal trends in the molecular epidemiology and genetic mechanisms of transmitted HIV-1 drug resistance: an individual-patient- and sequence-level meta-analysis

Soo-Yon Rhee, +72 more

TL;DR: Most TDR strains in SSA and SSEA arose independently, suggesting that ARV regimens with a high genetic barrier to resistance combined with improved patient adherence may mitigate TDR increases by reducing the generation of new ARV-resistant strains.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global and regional molecular epidemiology of HIV-1, 1990–2015: a systematic review, global survey, and trend analysis

Joris Hemelaar, +181 more
TL;DR: The distribution of HIV-1 subtypes and recombinants changed over time in countries, regions, and globally as well as at a global level during 2005-15, where subtype B increased, subtypes A and D were stable, and subtypes C and G and CRF02_AG decreased.
Journal Article

Trichomonas vaginalis: repeated DNA target for highly sensitive and specific polymerase chain reaction diagnosis.

TL;DR: It appears that the two set primers are highly specific of T. vaginalis and provide a useful tool for PCR diagnosis in asymptomatic and symptomatic patients especially among the HIV at risk individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Near-full-length genome sequencing of divergent African HIV type 1 subtype F viruses leads to the identification of a new HIV type 1 subtype designated K.

TL;DR: The equidistance of subtype K to the other subtypes of HIV-1 suggests that this subtype existed as long as the others, the lower distance between B and D, and between F1 and F2 suggest a more recent subdivision for these latter strains.
