Abstract:
Using nested PCR with the specific primers for gag gene and the sequencing data from blood samples of HIV patients, we demonstrated that subtype E is also very common in the Northern area of Vietnam. This method can be applied for the cloning of HIV genes and molecular epidemiology of HIV-l in Vietnam.
