| prevalence of hiv-1 and hiv-2/htlv-iv infections in luanda and cabinda, angola. | a seroepidemiological study of human immune deficiency virus type 1 (hiv-1) and hiv-2/human t-lymphotropic virus type iv (hiv-2/htlv-iv) infections was performed in angola in october 1986. until then five cases of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (aids) had been registered in angola. during this study, another three cases with clinical aids were found and confirmed by hiv-1 serology. a total of 1,215 sera from groups of healthy persons and patients were tested for hiv-1 and hiv-2/htlv-iv anti ... | 1988 | 2905739 |
| highly divergent subtypes and new recombinant forms prevail in the hiv/aids epidemic in angola: new insights into the origins of the aids pandemic. | angola, located in south-western africa, has a remarkably low hiv/aids prevalence in the adult population (3.7%). it is bordered in the north by the democratic republic of congo (drc) and republic of congo that are at the origin of human hiv-1 infections. it is, therefore, likely that hiv-1 strains circulating in angola are genetically diverse and representative of the origin of the hiv/aids epidemic. the aim of this work was to investigate in detail the genetic diversity and molecular epidemiol ... | 2009 | 18562253 |
