HIV-1 molecular diversity in Brazil unveiled by 10 years of sampling by the national genotyping network

Abstract HIV-1 has diversified into several subtypes and recombinant forms that are heterogeneously spread around the world. Understanding the distribution of viral variants and their temporal dynamics can help to design vaccines and monitor changes in viral transmission patterns. Brazil has one of...
