Abstract
A novel circulating recombinant form (CRF) was identified in eight HIV-1-infected patients without direct epidemiological relationships in Henan Province, Central China. Recombination analysis indicated that the genome of this novel CRF comprises five segments: three inherited from CRF01_AE cluster-4 and two from CRF55_01B. Therefore, the CRF was designated CRF114_0155. It is not only the first novel CRF identified in Henan Province but also the first third-generation CRF of HIV-1 and the first CRF descendant of CRF55_01B. Bayesian inference of phylogeny dated the most recent common ancestor of the CRF114_0155 cluster to 2010. The emergence of CRF114_0155 reflects that the genotype constitution of HIV-1 has become more complex and that stricter intervention measures should be implemented in central China.
