Molecular epidemiology and HIV-1 variant evolution in Poland between 2015 and 2019

Abstract The occurrence of HIV-1 subtypes differs worldwide and within Europe, with non-B variants mainly found across different exposure groups. In this study, we investigated the distribution and temporal trends in HIV-1 subtype variability across Poland between 2015 and 2019. Sequences of the pol...
