Abstract
In sub-Saharan Africa, where the effects of human immunodeficiency
virus type 1 (HIV-1) have been most devastating,
there are multiple subtypes of this virus. The
distribution of different subtypes within African populations
is generally not linked to particular risk behaviours.
Thus, Africa is an ideal setting in which to examine the
diversity and mixing of viruses from different subtypes on
a population basis. Objectives: To determine the subtypes
of human immunodeficiency virus -1 (HIV-1) circulating
in a HIV-positive drug naive populations Nairobi, Kenya.
