Emergence of Circulating Recombinant Form 56_cpx in Pakistani HIV-infected patient

In Pakistan, HIV has recently converted from outbreak to concentrated epidemic and has also bridged into the low-risk population. The HIV epidemic in Pakistan is mainly derived by subtype A. Here we present first case and genetic analysis of a circulating recombinant form 56_cpx in Pakistani HIV-infected patient. Genetic analysis of the sequence indicated that Pakistani 56_cpx sequence had more drug resistance mutation than other 56_cpx sequences available in the database
