Viral population diversity was assessed in samples collected from five HIV-infected women who were RNA positive and antibody negative. Similar to studies in men, highly conserved viral variants were detected (mean nucleotide diversity of 0.11% for p17p24, 0.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Salim Sabdool Karim"

  • - Salim Sabdool Karim's recent research primarily investigates the transmission dynamics of HIV-1, focusing on the highly conserved viral variants within HIV-1 subtype C among seronegative women.
  • - The study highlighted a significant level of viral diversity in samples from HIV-infected women who were RNA positive but antibody negative, indicating complex transmission scenarios.
  • - Findings demonstrate that while understanding viral population diversity is crucial, there remain gaps in knowledge about the implications for prevention and treatment efforts in seronegative individuals exposed to HIV.
