Abstract
HIV-genetic subtypes were analyzed in 130 subjects from the Russian Fe deration, by the HMA technique, Six subtypes were identified in hetero sexuals, including A, B, C, D, G, and H; however, homosexual men were infected predominantly with the B subtype (33 of 35), The subtype A is olates were found in population of intravenous drug users. HMA success fully identifies 128/130 DNA samples; the phylogenetic analysis of the V1/V5 gp120 encoding region derived from another two samples demonstr ated that these isolate belong to subtype H.
