Objective: Through the application of simple, accessible, molecular epidemiology tools, we aimed to resolve the phylogenetic relationships that best predicted patterns of cluster growth using longitudinal population level drug resistance genotype data.Methods: Analysis was performed on 971 specimens from drug naive, first time HIV positive subjects collected in British Columbia between 2002 and 2005. A 1240bp fragment of the pol gene was amplified and sequenced with relationships among subtype B sequences inferred using Neighbour-Joining analysis. Apparent clusters of infections having both a mean within group distance 80% were systematically identified. The entire 2002-2005 dataset was then re-analyze to evaluate the relationship of subsequent infections to those identified in 2002. BED testing was used to identify recent infections (
