摘要: Objectives: This research describes the genetic diversity of HIV-1 in Uzbekistan. Methods: During 2002 and 2003, blood from HIV-positive patients Uzbekistan was collected, part proviral pol gene nearly full-length genomes were sequenced analyzed. Results: Among 142 Uzbek strains, most clustered genetically with subtype A strain common former Soviet Union. Most these A-infected drug-naive subjects (65.6%) had an accessory drug resistance mutation, A62V, reverse transcriptase gene. Thirteen strains (9.2%) CRF02_AG, HIV West Africa. People infected CRF02_AG all residents Tashkent sampled 2002. The monophyletic probably descended a single ancestor. Two recombinant between A, each having different structure. elements recombinants A. New 12 suggested that neither nor this epidemic mosaics other subtypes or circulating forms. Conclusion: analysis demonstrated predominance epidemic. An outbreak African HIV-1, occurred Tashkent, 2002, however. cocirculation 2 has resulted new are apparently unique to
