Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is pandemic, but its contemporary global
transmission network has not been characterized. A better understanding of the properties …

Understanding HIV-1 transmission dynamics is relevant to both screening and intervention
strategies of HIV-1 infection. Commonly, HIV-1 transmission chains are determined based …

In modern applications of molecular epidemiology, genetic sequence data are routinely
used to identify clusters of transmission in rapidly evolving pathogens, most notably HIV-1 …

Understanding the determinants of virus transmission is a fundamental step for effective
design of screening and intervention strategies to control viral epidemics. Phylogenetic …

Precise identification of HIV transmission among populations is a key step in public health
responses. However, the HIV transmission network is usually difficult to determine. HIV …

Efficient and effective HIV prevention measures for generalized epidemics in sub-Saharan
Africa have not yet been validated at the population level. Design and impact evaluation of …

Background: Detecting recent and rapid spread of HIV can help prioritize prevention and
early treatment for those at highest risk of transmission. HIV genetic sequence data can …

Background HIV-1 genetic sequences can be used to infer viral transmission history and
dynamics. Throughout the United States, HIV-1 sequences from drug resistance testing are …

Viral phylogenetic methods contribute to understanding how HIV spreads in populations,
and thereby help guide the design of prevention interventions. So far, most analyses have …

The HIV epidemic in China accounts for 3% of the global HIV incidence. We compared the
patterns and determinants of interprovincial spread of the five most prevalent circulating …
