HIV-1 subtype diversity and transmission strain source among men who have sex with men in Guangxi, China

Abstract With the rapid increase in HIV prevalence of men who have sex with men (MSM) in recent years and common human migration and travelling across different provinces in China, MSM are now finding it easier to meet each other, which might contribute to local HIV epidemics as well as fueling cros...
