J Med Virol 2020; 92:3237-3245. [PMID: 32275071 DOI: 10.1002/jmv.25854] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2020] [Revised: 03/24/2020] [Accepted: 04/05/2020] [Indexed: 11/11/2022]
Abstract
To understand the epidemiology, evolutionary and transmission characteristics of HIV-1 CRF07_BC in Nanjing, China. One hundred and fifty-nine patients with HIV-1 CRF07_BC were recruited. DNA sequencing, phylogenetic analysis, and molecular transmission cluster analysis were conducted to determine the molecular epidemiology and evolutionary characteristics. Of these HIV-1-infected patients, 95.6% were male, and men who sex with men (76.7%) were the main transmission route. Only 34.0% of these cases were born in Nanjing, and most of them (64.8%) reported having multiple sex partners in the last 6 months. The maximum likelihood phylogenetic analyses of HIV-1 CRF07_BC revealed two lineages. Overall, 67.3% of Nanjing sequences were connected to at least one other individual distributed in 11 clusters, and the average degree was 21.2 with range (1-178). The clustered patients were more likely to be male. The time to a most recent common ancestor for the early HIV-1 CRF07_BC circulating in Nanjing was estimated to be 1998.71[1997.36-2001.07]. The mean estimated evolutionary rate for the epidemic cluster was slightly lower at 2.38[2.12-2.65] × 10-3 per site per year with the relaxed exponential clock model. HIV-1 CRF07_BC was transmitted into Nanjing more than 20 years ago from Yunnan and has become one of the most predominant subtypes with a higher evolutionary rate than before.

Abstract
In this study, we report a novel HIV-1 second-generation recombinant form composed of CRF01_AE and subtype B detected from a married HIV-positive male subject infected through homosexual behavior in Tianjin in northern China. The near full-length genome analyses showed that two regions of subtype B inserted into the CRF01_AE backbone with four recombinant breakpoints observed in the pol gene region. Subregion tree analyses demonstrated that the CRF01_AE regions of the recombinant were greatly clustered with the CRF01_AE subcluster 4 lineage, which was found primarily among men who have sex with men (MSM) in northern China. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first detection of a novel HIV-1 second-generation recombinant form (CRF01AE/B) in Tianjin, which indicates active transmission networks of HIV-1 infection among MSM in this region. The emergence of the novel second-generation recombinant form highlights the increasing complexity of HIV-1 epidemic among MSM population and the importance to monitor potential novel circulating recombinant forms.

Abstract
We report in this study a novel HIV-1 second-generation recombinant form (TJIH0172) composed of CRF01_AE and CRF07_BC isolated from a married HIV-positive male subject infected through homosexual behavior in Tianjin, China. The phylogenetic analysis of the near full-length genome of TJIH0172 reveals that one region of CRF07_BC inserted into the CRF01_AE backbone with two recombinant breakpoints observed in the vpu and env gene regions, respectively. The CRF01_AE regions (the regions I and III) of the recombinant are greatly clustered with the CRF01_AE subcluster 4 lineage, which is mainly circulating among men who have sex with men (MSM) in northern China. The CRF07_BC region (II) is clustered with two sequences (JX960600 and KF250366), which were discovered in the MSM population in Liaoning Province and Beijing city in northern China, respectively. The emergence of the novel recombinant strain from a married man who has sex with men in Tianjin, China, highlights the increasing complexity of the HIV-1 epidemic between MSM and their female partners and further molecular epidemiological investigation should be taken to track married MSM and their female partners to prevent HIV transmit from HIV high-risk populations to general populations.

Abstract
A novel HIV-1 second-generation recombinant form (CRF01_AE/CRF07_BC) was isolated from an HIV-positive subject among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Guizhou province in Southwest China. Recombinant analyses of the near full-length genome suggested that the strain was composed of CRF01_AE and CRF07_BC with one region of CRF07-BC inserted into a CRF01-AE backbone. Further analysis indicated that the CRF01_AE regions of the recombinant were highly clustered together with a subcluster 4 lineage of CRF01_AE, which is exclusively circulating among MSM in China. The CRF07_BC region of the recombinant was clustered with the CRF07_BC cluster, which was identified among MSM. The emergence of the novel HIV-1 recombinant may be a harbinger of more novel intersubtypes recombinants occurring in Guizhou province in Southwest China, and was of great important in understanding the dynamics and complexity of the HIV-1 epidemic in this region.
