Epidemiological data have demonstrated rapid growth of HIV-1 infections among injecting drug users (IDUs) in the Ukraine and Russia, during 1996. Here we describe results genetic analysis isolates derived from 12 HIV-1-infected IDUs different sites Russia Ukraine. The blood samples were taken within a 1- to 2-month period after first HIV-1-positive test. heteroduplex mobility assay as well gag/env phylogenetic reveal that all sequences belong subtype A. Moreover, interpatient distances...
Russia has one of the largest and fastest growing HIV epidemics. However, epidemiological data are scarce. Sub-subtype A6 is most prevalent in but its identification challenging. We analysed protease/reverse transcriptase-, integrase-sequences, from 303 patients to develop a methodology for systematisation describe epidemiology Russian Southern Federal District. Drug consumption (32.0%) heterosexual contact (27.1%) were major reported transmission risks. This study successfully established...
Although HIV-1 subtype A has predominated in Russia since the end of 20th century, other viral variants also circulate this country. The dramatic outbreak G 1988-1990 represents origin variant spreading Russia. However, full genome sequencing nosocomial and an analysis current circulating have not been conducted. We performed near full-length phylogenetic recombination analyses 11 samples; samples were determined to be based on pol region. Three reliably obtained from patients infected...
Serologic V3 loop peptide-binding assays have been used to predict divergent human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) strains from the Commonwealth of Independent States (former Soviet Union) that subsequently confirmed by sequencing region. Initial screening was done MN peptide binding; 12 parenterally infected HIV-1-positive subjects Elista and Rostov (group 1) with low-titer binding 6 heterosexually adults Byelorussia 2) high-titer were selected. A consensus sequence areas generated; a...
Most HIV-1 tropism studies have involved non-A subtypes. Our aim was to study the prevalence of R5- and non-R5-tropic variants occurrence relative CD4 counts, treatment experiences, transmission routes other features infection in Russia, where subtype A is presumably predominant. In this multicenter, single-step, cross-sectional, epidemiologic study, 943 HIV-1-infected patients were enrolled at 12 AIDS centers throughout Russia. Viral determined using a genotype method-based kit. The V3 loop...
In connection with the existing problems in developing a vaccine, which causes time between antibodies against various strains of HIV-1, there is need to develop methods assess virus neutralization, as well search for broadly neutralizing capable blocking HIV-1 strains. We investigated serum HIV-infected people non-progressive form disease. our work we used subtype A and CRF63_02A1, panel infectious isolates isolated from recently infected patients different genetic biological...
Aim. To evaluate the links between individual gender ideology, sexual statements, relationship system characteristics and vulnerability of heterosexual HIV infection.
 Materials methods. Behavioral questioning, based on sampling 239 students (mean age 20 years).
 Results. Among both young men women, there was detected a correlation loyalty to conservative ideology justification abuse against women as well interpersonal relations, reducing motivation use condoms. Conservative...
