HIV-1 genetic diversity of recently seroconverting (<12 months) Thai repeated blood donors attending the National Blood Centre, Thai Red Cross Society (NBC, TRCS) from September 2007 until March 2008 was assessed. Ten HIV-1 recent seroconvertors (10/239,134 donations) were identified during the study period. The estimated median time to seroconversion was 67.3 days (range: 45.5-102.0 days), and viral load ranged from 307 to 341,805 copies HIV-1 RNA/ml. MHAbce, a real-time-based PCR genotyping assay, identified six CRF01_AE, two CRF01_AE/B recombinants, one subtype B, and one CRF01_AE/B dual infection. Nine samples were further characterized by full genome sequencing, identifying CRF01_AE (N=6), unique CRF01_AE/B recombinants (N=2), and subtype B (N=1). One recombinant contained 13 breakpoints located in gag, pol, vif, vpr, env, and nef while the other recombinant contained 10 breakpoints located in pol, vif, env, and nef. This study found two unique CRF01B recombinants circulating in 10 recent HIV-1-positive subjects from a blood donor population in Thailand.
对2007年9月至2008年3月期间前往泰国红十字会国家血液中心(NBC,TRCS)进行重复献血的近期血清转换(<12个月)的泰国人进行了HIV-1基因多样性评估。在研究期间共识别出10名近期HIV-1血清转换者(10/239,134次献血)。估计血清转换的中位时间为67.3天(范围:45.5 - 102.0天),病毒载量范围为307至341,805拷贝HIV-1 RNA/ml。基于实时PCR的基因分型检测方法MHAbce识别出6例CRF01_AE、2例CRF01_AE/B重组体、1例B亚型和1例CRF01_AE/B双重感染。9个样本通过全基因组测序进一步表征,识别出CRF01_AE(N = 6)、独特的CRF01_AE/B重组体(N = 2)和B亚型(N = 1)。一个重组体在gag、pol、vif、vpr、env和nef中有13个断点,而另一个重组体在pol、vif、env和nef中有10个断点。本研究发现,在泰国献血人群中10名近期HIV-1阳性受试者中存在两种独特的CRF01B重组体在传播。
