Popis: ObjectiveTo determine the characteristics of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) subtypes among newly confirmed HIV-1 patients in Hongkou District of Shanghai, and provide evidence for establishing HIV-1 subtype database and precise prevention and control strategy against AIDS in Hongkou District of Shanghai.MethodsA total of 119 plasma samples from newly confirmed HIV-1 patients in Hongkou District in 2016 were used to detect HIV-1 RNA pol gene by using reverse transcription PCR. HIV-1 subtypes were determined with Los Alamos 2022 HIV-1 gene database using HIV-BLAST tool, and then characterized by epidemiological data.ResultsIn the 119 samples, a total of 89 pol gene fragments were obtained, which were mainly classified as CRF07_BC (38.2%), CRF01_AE (36.0%), and subtype B (13.5%). Furthermore, two new recombinant subtype CRF55_01B and two unique recombinant subtype URF_0107 were identified (2.3%).ConclusionIn 2016, HIV-1 subtypes in Hongkou District are mainly CRF07_BC and CRF01_AE. In addition, new recombinant subtype CRF55_01B and unique recombinant subtype URF_0107 have appeared in Hongkou District. It warrants a need of enhanced surveillance.
