Recent data suggest that infection with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) subtype C results in prolonged high-level viremia (>5 log10 copies/mL) during early infection. We examined the relationship between HIV-1 subtype and plasma viremia among 153 African seroconverters. Mean setpoint viral loads were similar for C and non-C subtypes: 4.36 vs 4.42 log10 copies/mL (P = .61). The proportion of subtype C-infected participants with viral loads >5 log10 copies/mL was not greater than the proportion for those with non-C infection. Our data do not support the hypothesis that higher early viral load accounts for the rapid spread of HIV-1 subtype C in southern Africa.
最近的数据表明,感染人类免疫缺陷病毒 1 型(HIV-1)亚型 C 会导致早期感染期间高水平的持续性病毒血症(>5 log10 拷贝/mL)。我们在 153 名非洲血清转化者中研究了 HIV-1 亚型与血浆病毒血症之间的关系。C 型和非 C 型的平均设定点病毒载量相似:4.36 对 4.42 log10 拷贝/mL(P =.61)。病毒载量>5 log10 拷贝/mL 的 C 型感染参与者的比例并不高于非 C 感染的参与者。我们的数据不支持这样的假设,即较高的早期病毒载量是 HIV-1 亚型 C 在南非迅速传播的原因。
