We determined the subtype of HIV-1 in 89 infected individuals attending three reference hospitals located in the Tokyo metropolitan area of Japan. Subtyping was performed with subtype-specific polymerase chain re-action (PCR) distinguishing subtype A, B, C, and CRF01_AE and/or phylogenetic analysis of HIV-1 env C2V3C3 sequences. Subtype-specific PCR provided unequivocal results in 97% of samples. Sixty-five subjects were infected with subtype B, 16 with CRFO1_AE, 4 with subtype A, 1 with CRF02_AG, and 3 with subtype C. Among 31 Japanese individuals infected through heterosexual contact, 13 were infected with subtype Band 12 with CRFO1_AE. All of the 41 Japanese men infected through homosexual contact harbored subtype B. These results indicate that subtype B is exclusively predominant in a homosexually transmitted group, whereas subtype B and CRFO1_AE are evenly predominant in a heterosexually transmitted group.
我们对日本东京都地区三家参考医院的89名HIV-1感染者进行了HIV-1亚型鉴定。采用区分A、B、C和CRF01_AE亚型的特异性聚合酶链反应(PCR)及HIV-1 env C2V3C3序列的系统发育分析进行亚型鉴定。特异性PCR在97%的样本中得到明确结果。65名受试者感染B亚型,16名感染CRF01_AE,4名感染A亚型,1名感染CRF02_AG,3名感染C亚型。在31名通过异性接触感染的日本个体中,13名感染B亚型,12名感染CRF01_AE。41名通过同性接触感染的日本男性均感染B亚型。这些结果表明,B亚型在同性传播群体中占绝对优势,而在异性传播群体中B亚型和CRF01_AE亚型占比相当。
