In Thailand, the HIV-1 epidemic started abruptly in 1988 with the introduction of subtype B and subtype E, now called the circulating recombinant form (CRF), CRF01_AE. These two strains appeared independently in distinct high-risk populations [1]: subtype B among injecting drug users (IDU) and CRF01_AE among those who were heterosexually exposed [2, 3]. HIV-1 subtype B is still common among infected Bangkok IDU, but CRF01_AE was found in 80% of IDU surveyed in 1995–1998 [4]. Dual infection with HIV-1 subtype B and CRF01_AE was observed by 1994 [5], providing the opportunity for recombination between these two subtypes in the Thailand epidemic. Whereas recombination between CRF01_AE and subtype B has occurred in an experimental dual infection of a chimpanzee [6], such a recombinant in humans has not yet been described. Here, we identify an AE/B inter-subtype recombinant of HIV-1 found in a multiply exposed individual in Thailand. The full-length genome of this recombinant has been analysed and characterized.In 1997, screening assays for the subtype of the virus of a 40-year-old Thai man (NP1623) provided evidence of subtype discordance in different parts of the genome. A V3 loop peptide enzyme immunoassay [7] classified the serum of NP1623 as CRF01_AE and an envelope heteroduplex mobility assay [8] confirmed that designation. A restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis from the gag leader region [9], however, indicated that NP1623 was infected with subtype B, as did a differential polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay in gp41 [10]. These results suggested discordance between the subtype of gp120 and the subtype of the rest of the virus.
