Analysis of HIV-1 protease gene reveals frequent multiple infections followed by recombination among drug treated individuals living in São Paulo and Santos, Brazil.

The present study investigated the prevalence of HIV-1 multiple infections in a population composed by 47 patients under HAART failure and enrolled at the National DST/AIDS, Program, Ministry of Health, Brazil.Detection of multiple infections was done using a previously published RFLP assay for the...
