Popis: In this study, we identified a novel circulating recombinant form (CRF) of HIV (CRF105_0108) in a total of five patients with no obvious epidemiological linkage in Sichuan, China. Four strains were found in this study, and another strain (XC2014EU01) was reported in a previous study. The phylogenetic analysis of the five near full-length genomes showed that a CRF08_BC segment was inserted into the CRF01_AE backbone with one recombinant breakpoint in the pol region, which is the first HIV-1 CRF of CRF01_AE and CRF08_BC. Three genetic sequences had drug-resistant mutations, E138Q and V179D, indicating that there were low resistance levels to efavirenz (EFV) and nevirapine (NVP) in Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture. CRF105_0108 increases the diversity and complexity of the prevalent HIV-1 CRFs in Sichuan. Simultaneously, drug-resistant mutations in this CRF may influence the efficacy of highly active antiretroviral treatments (ARTs) in Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture.
