Occurrence and Molecular Characterization of Infection in HIV/Aids Patients in Algeria.

The estimated prevalence rate of adults living with HIV infection in MENA is one of the lowest in the world. To date, no data on the genetic characteristics of isolates from HIV/AIDS patients in Algeria were available. This study aimed to identify species and subtype families prevalent in Algerian HIV-infected patients and contribute to the molecular epidemiology mapping of in the MENA region.
