title: The Honduran human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) epidemic is dominated by HIV-1 subtype B as determined by V3 domain sero- and genotyping.
abstract: The distribution of subtypes A through F of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) in Honduras was analyzed in 120 HIV-1 positive serum samples by V3 peptide serotyping and HIV-1 cDNA sequencing. In the Honduran HIV-1 epidemic, subtype B was detected in 98 of 99 subtyped samples.
