| Popis: | The objective of the present study was to investigate HIV outbreaks among injection drug users in Minsk using molecular epidemiological approaches and to find the phylogenetic relationships between HIV isolates from different patients in order to determine common HIV infection sources. Phylogenetic analysis showed that HIV outbreaks among IDUs in Minsk were caused by HIV entries from different sources. At least seven IDU groups were distinguished. It was also found that hepatitis C virus was in most cases present in the IDUs before they became HIV infected. In two cases, HIV patients acquired hepatitis B virus from the same source. |
