## Abstract During the period 1996β1997, three highly homogeneous variants of HIVβ1 were identified, circulating among injecting drug users (IDUs) in the former Soviet Union republics. One of these belonged to HIVβ1 genetic subtype A (IDUβA), another belonged to HIVβ1 genetic subtype B (IDUβB) and

## Abstract HIVβ1 is a major health problem in South Africa with an average prevalence rate of 29.1% in pregnant women and between 4.9 and 6.1 million people infected. Using __env__ gp120 V3 serotyping and genotyping techniques 410 patient samples were investigated. Most of the samples were obtaine
The objective of the study was to assess the genotypic and phenotypic properties of 18 viral strains from human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) positive patients and to identify subtype C isolates for vaccine design strategies. All the isolates were non-syncytium-inducing (NSI) in both the primary
## Abstract The identification of specific biologic phenotypic traits that can be correlated with different HIVβ1 genetic subtypes was sought. The genetic subtypes were determined by either sequencing (Cameroonian strains, n = 18) or by the heteroduplex mobility assay (HMA) (Belgian strains, n = 21
