Abstract

Molecular epidemiology allows us to know local HIV transmission and to design strategies of prevention. We studied 25 HIV newly diagnosed patients with the E138A mutation since the year 2010. Most transmission networks involved young and promiscuous men who have sex with men. Recent infection was only documented in patients grouped into the smaller clusters.

Keywords: HIV/AIDS; Phylogenetic analysis; Prevention strategies; Rilpivirine; Transmission networks.
