What is Review of status of HIV strain diversity in the United States about?
The global distribution of HIV strains is changing due to the movement of people because of immigration, travel, and military deployment. While the United States' HIV epidemic is predominantly caused by the HIV-1 group M, subtype B strain, non-B strains have been identified. This article reviews what is known currently about HIV strain diversity in the US. Studies in the US have focused on selected populations, thus the overall national prevalence of HIV non-B subtypes is unknown. Non-B infections are associated with birth in or contact with persons from non-B endemic countries, and with heterosexual transmission. The US will likely see an increase in the prevalence of genetically diverse HIV strains over time.
