Abstract:
Molecular epidemiological study of the HIV infection in Vietnam showed that recombinated HIV-1 subtype CRF01 (E subtype according to old classification) is still largely predominant either among injection drug users or persons infected though sexual intercourse. However, the presence of other HIV-1 subtypes B, C and other recombinated viruses indicated that HIV infection in Vietnam might become more complex with entry of different generic HIV-1 subtypes and other recombinated viruses
