Abstract:

Since it first appeared in non-human primates in West-central Africa, the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) has killed about 33 million people worldwide, making it a serious public health concern. Over 20 million people in Africa are thought to be living with HIV/AIDS and that over 730,000 new HIV-1 infections still happen year, most likely as a result of limited testing access.A single infected patient may develop many viral variations in a single day due to the great genetic heterogeneity of HIV-1, which is caused by a rapid replication cycle and high mutation rate. Consequently, the ongoing observation and description of A major obstacle to more targeted diagnoses, treatments, care, and intervention efforts is the presence of HIV-1 subtypes and recombinant forms in African nations. To demonstrate the seriousness of the HIV-1 danger among African nations and to gain a better understanding of virus genetic diversity and dispersion dynamics, a succinct description of all the subtypes and recombinant forms circulating in Africa is provided in this paper.

Keywords:HIV-1; Africa; subtypes; circulating recombinant form (CRF); recombinant.
