HIV-1 CRF01_AE and CRF07_BC have been two mainly circulating HIV-1 strains in the men who have sex with men (MSM) population in Beijing for years. These two subtypes together were accounting for 78.1% of HIV-1 positive cases newly diagnosed in Beijing, 2016. In this study, we report a novel CRF01_AE/CRF07_BC second-generation unique recombinant form (URF) (named DT1427_NFLG) of HIV-1 identified in MSM population. The near full-length genome of DT1427_NFLG is about 8.8 kb with four CRF07_BC fragments inserted into the CRF01_AE backbone. In China, several novel second-generation URFs were reported in recent years and Beijing, as the capital of China, attracting a huge number of people all over the country to work and live, is confronted with the risk of the epidemic of recombinant HIV-1 strains. Therefore, it is necessary to take measures to monitor the emergency of novel recombinant of HIV-1.
