Abstract: Objective To understand the molecular subtypes and recombinant structure of HIV-1 infection in Zhejiang Province.Methods According to the method of stratified random sampling method,a total of 302 newly HIV infected people (excluding AIDS patients) were selected as the subjects of the investigation from April to June, 2015, who were all newly HIV positive patients reported in Zhejiang Province and were diagnosed as HIV positive and had not received antiretroviral treatment.Questionnaires were used to collect information such as gender, residency, marital status, route of transmission and case reporting area. At least 8 ml of venous blood was collected from HIV infected people, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and nested PCR were used to amplify the pol gene sequence of HIV-1 strains and circulating recombination forms(CRF)and unique recombinant form(URF) strains were screened using phylogenetic tree, and molecular subtype analysis and recombinant analysis were performed.Results Of the 302 HIV infected people,18 cases were infected with new CRFs or URFs, among which 15 were male (83.3%), 3 were heterosexual transmission (17.7%); 8 cases (44.4%) were infected with new CRFs, which included CRF55_01B 5(27.8%), CRF67_01B 2 (11.1%), CRF69_01B 1 (5.6%); 10 cases (55.6%) were infected with URFs, in which 6 cases were infected with two groups of recombinant strains composed of CRF01_AE subtype and CRF07_BC subtypes in pol region,3 cases were infected with three groups of recombinant strains of the two subtypes in pol region,and 1 case could not be accurately determined of the recombinant structure.The results of recombinant source analysis showed that the newly recombinant strains found from Zhejiang province were highly homologous to the strains from Guangdong, Anhui, Hebei, Yunnan, Liaoning province, and the sequence similarity was 94.4%-98.0%. Conclusion The new recombinant strains of Zhejiang province included CRFs strains and URFs strains with CRF01_AE and CRF07_BC as the main recombinant structure mode,and all of them were introduced from other places and formed a trans-regional chain of HIV transmission.
