Year: 2019
Type: article
Abstract: The high level of genetic variation along with highly recombinogenic reverse transcriptase enzyme of HIV-1 contribute to the emergence of increasing number of circulating recombinant forms (CRFs). Up to date,101 CRFs have been assigned and published with public sequence data, which is available on the Los Alamos HIV Sequence Database (www.hiv.lanl.gov). Most CRFs were found in heterosexual or drug users in the past. Recent correspondence in this Journal has reported on a novel HIV-1 circulation recombinant form (CRF100_01C) comprising CRF01_AE and C among heterosexual in Yunnan, China.
