This study analysed the sequence of HIV-1 pol gene derived from Zimbabwean infected patients. Sequence analysis, performed on 8 samples, revealed that sequences were classified as subtype C (n=5), subtype B (n=2) and CRF01_AE (n=1). Two patients, treated with a therapeutic regimen containing NRTI/NNRTI, harboured drug resistance mutations in HIV-1 DNA. Phylogenetic analysis performed on subtype C sequences showed that our strains were aggregated in different clusters depending on the country of origin.
