Abstract:
The subtypes of HIV-1 from 106 HIV infected persons were determined by using the nested PCR method. Some results might be drawn: the HIV-1 samples from 83% of the investigated persons were E subtypes. The coexistence of B- and E- subtypes were observed in 8 out of 106 examined patients (7.6%). Non E- non B subtypes HIV-1 were also shown in 5.7% of the studied subjects. 40% of the newborns of mothers suffered from HIV-1 infection were infected. Their HIV-1 were all E-subtypes.
