The genotypes and biological phenotypes of HIV-1 isolates obtained from 40 perinatally infected children in South Africa were analyzed. This included 15 infants who had HIV-related symptoms, most of whom died within 2 years of birth (rapid progressors), and 25 children who survived between 4 and 9 years with varying signs of disease (slow progressors). Heteroduplex mobility assays and sequence analysis confirmed that within the env and gag regions, all isolates were HIV-1 subtype C. Viral isolates from 14 of the 15 rapid progressors used the CCR5 coreceptor, whereas 1 (02ZARP1) used both the CXCR4 and CCR5 coreceptors. Among the 25 slow progressors, 22 isolates used CCR5 only, 2 used CXCR4 only, and 1 used both CCR5 and CXCR4. Two of the slow-progressing children who harbored CXCR4- using viruses had AIDS. All four CXCR4- using viruses had genotypic changes in the V3 region previously shown to be associated with CXCR4 usage. This cross-sectional study shows that HIV-1 subtype C viruses from both rapid- and slow-progressing perinatally infected children used predominantly CCR5. Similar to adults, CXCR4 usage was uncommon among HIV-1 subtype C isolates from pediatric infections.
