Similar replicative fitness is shared by the subtype B and unique BF recombinant HIV-1 isolates that dominate the epidemic in Argentina.

Similar replicative fitness is shared by the subtype B and unique BF recombinant HIV-1 isolates that dominate the epidemic in Argentina.

The HIV-1 epidemic in South America is dominated by pure subtypes (mostly B and C) and more than 7 BF and BC recombinant forms. In Argentina, circulating recombinant forms (CRFs) comprised of subtypes B and F make up more than 50% of HIV infections. For this study, 28 HIV-1 primary isolates were obt...
