The Probable Source of Both the Primary Multidrug-Resistant (MDR) HIV-1 Strain Found in a Patient with Rapid Progression to AIDS and a Second Recombinant MDR Strain Found in a Chronically HIV-1—Infected Patient

摘要

Background. Rapid progression to AIDS after acute infection with a multidrug-resistant (MDR), dual-tropic strain of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) was reported in a New York City man (hereafter referred to as “NYC”) who has sex with men. The probable source of this HIV-1 (hereafter referred to as “CT01”) and the development of a recombinant MDR HIV-1 in the source's partner (hereafter referred to as “CT02”) are described.
