&NA; The objective of this study was to estimate the global distribution and regional spread of different HIV‐1 genetic subtypes and circulating recombinant forms (CRFs) in the year 2000. These estimates were made based on data derived from global HIV/AIDS surveillance and molecular virology studies. HIV‐1 incidence during the year 2000 was estimated in defined geographic regions, using a country‐specific model developed by WHO‐UNAIDS. The proportion of new infections caused by different HIV‐1…

Global and regional distribution of HIV-1 genetic subtypes and recombinants in 2004

TLDR
Combining data on HIV-1 subtype distribution in individual countries with country-specific estimates of the number of people living with HIV provided a good method to generate estimates of The results could serve as an important resource for HIV scientists, public health officials and HIV vaccine developers.

Molecular epidemiology of HIV‐1 subtypes based on analysis of pol sequences in Slovenia, 1996–2005

TLDR
It is revealed that subtype B is a predominant HIV‐1 subtype in Slovenia, although a relatively high proportion (21/131; 16%) of non‐B subtypes was found, and a high proportion of recombinant and different unclassified strains were identified.

Comparative population dynamics of HIV-1 subtypes B and C: subtype-specific differences in patterns of epidemic growth.

Molecular epidemiology of HIV.

TLDR
The phylogenic analysis of the nucleotide sequences of the env gene has enabled classification of HIV-1 into three groups, which are A-H, A-K and C, which suggest that subtype C strains would dominate the HIV pandemic in the coming years.

Molecular epidemiology of HIV-1 in the United Kingdom

TLDR
The analyses presented in these pages emphasizes the advantage of combining state-of-the-art epidemiological studies to phylogenetic frameworks when investigating the dynamics of a viral epidemic as complex as HIV-1.

Epidemiologic and Molecular Characterization of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 in Southern Brazil

TLDR
The characterization of this important population, which is one of a few in the developing world where a large number of HIV-1C–infected subjects are under antiretroviral treatment, underscores its potential usefulness in clinical, treatment, and vaccine trials in Brazil.

HIV-1 Molecular Epidemiology in Guinea-Bissau, West Africa: Origin, Demography and Migrations

TLDR
This is the first study that describes the HIV-1 molecular epidemiology in a West African country by combining the results of subtype distribution with analyses of epidemic origin and epidemiological linkage between locations.

Characterization of drug resistance mutations in naïve and ART‐treated patients infected with HIV‐1 in Yaounde, Cameroon

TLDR
The high level of drug resistance observed in the cohort is alarming because this occurred as a result of only few years of treatment, and adherence to therapy, adequate education of physicians, and the appropriate use of genotypic resistance assay are critical points of intervention for the improvement of patient care.

Country-specific estimates and models of HIV and AIDS: methods and limitations.

TLDR
Higher estimates of HIV infection than previously thought likely are yielded, with over 30 million people estimated to be living with HIV/AIDS, an important step in improving understanding of the spread of HIV in different parts of the world.

Phylogenetic analysis of gag genes from 70 international HIV‐1 isolates provides evidence for multiple genotypes

TLDR
The genetic variation among HIV-1 isolates is more extensive than previously appreciated and at least seven distinct HIV- 1 genotypes can be identified.

Full genome sequences of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 subtypes G and A/G intersubtype recombinants.

TLDR
The geographic spread of the IbNG-like strains suggests that, like the subtype E recombinants, these should be given a specific name to facilitate future identification and tracking; the name "IbNG subtype" is proposed.

Genetic relationships determined by a DNA heteroduplex mobility assay: analysis of HIV-1 env genes.

TLDR
Heteroduplex mobility analysis provides a tool to expedite epidemiological investigations by assisting in the classification of HIV and is readily applicable to the screening and characterization of other infectious agents and cellular genes.

Recovery of virtually full-length HIV-1 provirus of diverse subtypes from primary virus cultures using the polymerase chain reaction.

TLDR
Using DNA from virus cultures on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and recent improvements of the PCR technique, the first complete PCR-derived sequence of a U.S. clinical isolate of genotype B expanded only in primary PBMC is reported; this provirus harbors a uniquely truncated V3 loop.

Simplified strategy for detection of recombinant human immunodeficiency virus type 1 group M isolates by gag/env heteroduplex mobility assay. Study Group on Heterogeneity of HIV Epidemics in African Cities.

TLDR
Using a one-tube reverse transcriptase PCR protocol, this gag HMA in combination with env HMA is a useful tool for rapidly monitoring the prevalence of the various genetic subtypes as well as of recombinants of HIV-1.

Multiple sites in HIV-1 reverse transcriptase associated with virological response to combination therapy

TLDR
Use of clinical data to analyse virological response to combination therapy has revealed effects of baseline amino acid mutations at sites not previously identified as being important in antiretroviral resistance.

HIV-1 Nomenclature Proposal

A clear and consistent genetic classification of human immunodeficiency virus-type 1 (HIV-1) strains continues to be of great utility in epidemiological tracking of the AIDS pandemic and in vaccine…

Unequal human immunodeficiency virus type 1 reverse transcriptase error rates with RNA and DNA templates.

TLDR
The results suggest that HIV-1 reverse transcriptase synthesis with an RNA template-DNA primer was error-prone during incorporation of the first two nucleotides, perhaps due to aberrant enzyme-substrate interactions as synthesis initiates, and the unequal error rates with RNA and DNA templates suggest that mistakes during minus- and plus-strand DNA synthesis may not contribute equally to the mutation rate of HIV- 1.
