Molecular epidemiology of HIV-1 subtype B reveals heterogeneous transmission risk: Implications for intervention and control
- Abstract:
-
Background
The impact of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) depends on infections averted by protecting vulnerable individuals as well as infections averted by preventing transmission by those who would have been infected if not receiving PrEP. Analysis of HIV phylogenies reveals risk factors for transmission, which we examine as potential criteria for allocating PrEP.
Methods
We analyzed 6912 HIV-1 partial pol sequences from men who have sex with men (MSM) in th...
