Genome sequence of a complex HIV-1 unique recombinant form involving CRF01_AE, subtype B, and subtype B' identified in Malaysia

Abstract

A complex HIV-1 unique recombinant form involving subtypes CRF01_AE, B, and B' was recently identified from an injecting drug user in Malaysia. A total of 13 recombination breakpoints were mapped across the near-full-length genome of isolate 10MYPR226, indicating the increasingly diverse molecular epidemiology and frequent linkage among various high-risk groups.
