Increasing HIV Subtype Diversity and Its Clinical Implications in a Sentinel North American Population

Increasing HIV Subtype Diversity and Its Clinical Implications in a Sentinel North American Population

BACKGROUND: HIV-1 is a highly diverse virus; subtypes may exhibit differences in rates of transmission, disease progression, neurotoxicity, antiretroviral treatment failure profiles and accuracy of viral load measurements. To date, the HIV epidemic in Canada and the rest of the developed world has b...
