Abstract
HIV-1 drug resistance mutations (DRMs) and substitutions were assessed after the failure of the first line non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) + 2 nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) treatment regimens (efavirenz [EFV] + lamivudine[3TC] + zidovudine [ZDV] vs. EFV + 3TC + ddI) among the HIV-1 CRF06_cpx infected subjects in Estonia. HIV-1 genomic RNA was sequenced; DRMs and amino acid substitutions were compared in 44 treatment naïve and 45 first-line NNRTI + 2 NRTI treatment failed patients consisting of EFV + 3TC + ZDV (n = 17) and EFV + 3TC + didanosine[ddI] (n = 21) therapy failed sub-populations. At least one DRM was found in 78% of treatment experienced patients. The most common NRTI mutations were M184V (80%), L74V (31%), L74I (17%), K219E (9%), and M184I (9%), NNRTI mutations were K103N (83%), P225H (14%), L100I (11%), and Y188L (11%), reflecting generally the similar pattern of DRMs to that seen in treatment failed subtype B viruses. Sub-population analysis revealed that EFV + 3TC + ddI failed patients had more DRMs compared to EFV + 3TC + ZDV failed patients, especially the ddI DRM L74IV and several additional NNRTI DRMs. Additionally, CRF06_cpx specific mutation E179V and substitutions R32K, K122E, and V200AE were also detected in treatment experienced population. After the failure of the first-line EFV + 3TC + ddI therapy HIV-1 CRF06_cpx viruses develop additional NRTI and NNRTI mutations compared to EFV + 3TC + ZDV regimen. Therefore the usage of EFV + 3TC + ddI in this subtype decreases the options for next regimens containing abacavir, and NNRTI class agents.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To examine HIV-1 genetic diversity in St. Petersburg. METHODS Partial HIV-1 pol sequences from 102 plasma samples collected in 2006 were analyzed with a Bayesian phylogeny inference method. RESULTS Subtype A, former Soviet Union (FSU) variant (AFSU), was the predominant clade (89.3%); other clades were subtypes B (9.7%) and F1 (1%). AFSU was predominant both among injecting drug users (98.2%) and heterosexually infected individuals (91.4%), whereas subtype B was more prevalent among homosexual men (75%). Within the AFSU variant, most sequences (93.5%) branched within 1 of 4 strongly supported subclusters. The largest comprised 63% AFSU viruses and was uncommon outside St Petersburg. A second subcluster (17.4% AFSU viruses) corresponds to the variant with the V77I substitution in protease, which is widely circulating in different FSU countries. Two minor subclusters comprised 8.7% and 6.5% AFSU viruses, respectively. There was no correlation between risk exposure and AFSU subclusters. Six of 8 subtype B sequences, 4 of them from homosexual men, grouped in a monophyletic subcluster. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study show a great predominance of AFSU viruses in St Petersburg and point to a few phylogenetically identifiable introductions as the origin of most current HIV-1 AFSU infections in the city.

Abstract
HIV infection is a major problem in Indonesia. The number of people living with HIV has been increasing from year to year, especially among injecting drug users (IDUs). Since there were only limited data about molecular epidemiology profiles of HIV/AIDS in Indonesia, a cross-sectional study involving 208 HIV-1-seropositive individuals was conducted in 2007 in Jakarta. The majority of participants were 16-30 years of age (64.9%) and 74.5% were male. The most frequent risk factor was injecting drug use (IDU) (45.7%) followed by heterosexual transmission (34.1%). Phylogenetic analysis of gag (p17 and p6) and env C2V3 regions showed 200 (96.2%) of 208 DNA samples were CRF01_AE and only 3 (1.4%) were subtype B. Five samples (2.4%) indicated discordant subtypes between the three aforementioned regions: three of them showed unique CRF01_AE/B recombination patterns in 2.3-kbp nucleotide sequences (from p17 to part of RT), including one sample showing similarity to CRF33_01B, reported previously in Malaysia. This study shows the current predominant subtype is CRF01_AE in every risk group, with a decreasing number of pure subtype B, and the first identification of CRF01_AE/B recombinant forms among HIV-1-seropositive Indonesians.

Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is the worldwide disseminated causative agent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). HIV is a member of the Lentivirus genus of Retroviridae family and is grouped in two types named HIV-1 and HIV-2. These viruses have a notable ability to mutate and adapt to the new conditions of human environment. A large incidence of errors at the transcriptional level results in changes on the genetic bases during the reproductive cycle. The elevated genomic variability of HIV has carried important implications for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention as well as epidemiologic investigations. The present review describes important definitions and geographical distribution of subtypes, circulating recombinant forms and other genomic variations of HIV. The present study aimed at leading students of Biomedical Sciences and public health laboratory staff guidance to general and specific knowledge about the genomic variability of the HIV.

Abstract
There are few data on drug resistance-associated mutations in the former Soviet Union since, studies have usually been focused on the env or gag genes for subtype information. This study examines the prevalence and patterns of resistance-associated mutations to reverse transcriptase and protease inhibitors (RTI, PRI) in 278 HIV-1-infected treatment-naïve subjects from countries of Eastern Europe, and defines characteristic polymorphisms of RT and PR sequences in HIV-1 subtype A viruses. Blood samples were collected between 1997 and 2004. Plasma RNA was used for PR-RT amplification by reverse transcription coupled with nested PCR and sequencing. Phylogenetic analysis was done with neighbor-joining trees and bootscanning. Analysis of drug resistance mutations, with Stanford University HIV Drug Resistance Database's algorithm, resulted in an overall prevalence of 12.9% resistance to RTI and 3.9% to PRI. The most frequent substitutions in the RT region were at positions 62 and 236. V77I substitution in PR was found in 47.8% of samples. Polymorphisms in subtype A sequences were identified. This is the first study reporting the prevalence and patterns of both PRI and RTI resistance-associated mutations in naïve HIV-1 infected patients from the former Soviet Union. These data underline the importance of genotypic resistance testing of chronically HIV-1-infected patients before initiating treatment, in order to select the most suitable drug regimen.

Abstract
To investigate the rapid HIV epidemic in Latvia, 97 newly detected individuals were sampled in 2000-2001. To establish the molecular epidemiology we sequenced the env V3 and gag p17 regions of the HIV genome and compared them with reference sequences using phylogenetic analyses. As expected, the vast majority (n = 88; 91%) were intravenous drug users (IDUs) from the Riga region. Also, the majority of the investigated individuals (n = 93; 96%) were found to carry a subtype A1 virus that may have entered the Latvian IDU population several times. In addition, one IDU was infected with CRF03_AB and three other individuals, who had been infected through sexual contacts, carried subtype B virus. Thus, subtype A1 dominates the Latvian epidemic and is strongly associated with the IDU risk group. Although some spread of subtype A1 has occurred in the heterosexual group, subtype B dominates among homosexually and heterosexually infected individuals.
