Objective:
To determine the HIV infection of a 13-year-old leukemia patient Wei using molecular tracing technique.
Methods:
Three blood samples were collected from the persons who were associated with HIV positive blood donation member Lang. The viral load was tested and pol gene was sequenced and analyzed. At the same time using HyPhy2.2.4 and Cytoscape 3.6.1 to establish the molecular network with these 3 samples sequences and other HIV subtypes sequences obtained from Luzhou.
Results:
The HIV-1 viral load test result of the three patients were: Lang 933 CPS /ml (treated, blood donor), Wei (blood recipitent) 89 813 CPS /ml, Deng (blood recipitent) 85 158 CPS /ml. The subtype of HIV-1 of these three samples were all recombinant HIV CRF01_AE, and the
