  • Recombination contributes greatly to the diversity of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). A large number of recombinant strains have been found in China, particularly in Yunnan, which is considered the HIV-1 epicenter of China. Surveillance of unique recombinant forms is helpful for prediction of new circulating recombinant forms. In this study, we identified two unique recombinant forms of HIV-1 in Yunnan Province. The near full-length genomes of HIV-1 strains were amplified in three parts, and the genomic structures of two strains (12YN10159 and 12YN10192) were analyzed. Strain 12YN10159 was comprised of subtypes C and CRF01_AE, while strain 12YN10192 was comprised of subtypes B and C. Genomic breakpoints were different from all previously reported strains. The data emphasized that more surveillance of unique strains of HIV is needed in Yunnan.

    Abstract: Recombination contributes greatly to the diversity of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). A large number of recombinant strains have been found in China, particularly in Yunnan, which is considered the HIV-1 epicenter of China. Surveillance of unique recombinant forms is helpful for prediction of new circulating recombinant forms. In this study, we identified two unique recombinant forms of HIV-1 in Yunnan Province. The near full-length genomes of HIV-1 strains were amplified in three parts, and the genomic structures of two strains (12YN10159 and 12YN10192) were analyzed. Strain 12YN10159 was comprised of subtypes C and CRF01_AE, while strain 12YN10192 was comprised of subtypes B and C. Genomic breakpoints were different from all previously reported strains. The data emphasized that more surveillance of unique strains of HIV is needed in Yunnan.
