Genetic diversity of HIV in Yunnan, China: the role of second-generation recombination involving circulating and unique recombinant forms
These results underscore the continuous evolution of HIV via recombination in the China-Myanmar border region. The identification of second-generation recombinants and newly formed URFs highlights the importance of continuous molecular surveillance to better understand HIV diversity and to inform strategies for prevention, treatment, and vaccine development.
