Molecular transmission network analysis of newly diagnosed HIV-1 infections in Nanjing from 2019 to 2021

Abstract Objective The objective of this study was to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the molecular transmission networks and transmitted drug resistance (TDR) patterns among individuals newly diagnosed with HIV-1 in Nanjing. Methods Plasma samples were collected from newly diagnosed HIV patients in Nanjing between 2019 and 2021. The HIV pol gene was amplified, and the resulting sequences were utilized for determining TDR, identifying viral genotypes, and constructing molecular transmission networks. Logistic regression analyses were employed to investigate the epidemiological characteristics associated with molecular transmission clusters. Results A total of 1161 HIV pol sequences were successfully extracted from newly diagnosed individuals, each accompanied by reliable epidemiologic information. The analysis revealed the presence of multiple HIV-1 subtypes, with CRF 07_BC (40.57%) …
