High HIV-1 prevalence and viral diversity among entry-exit populations at frontier ports of China, 2012–2016: A cross-sectional molecular epidemiology study

High HIV-1 prevalence and viral diversity among entry-exit populations at frontier ports of China, 2012–2016: A cross-sectional molecular epidemiology study

The cross border movement of populations would potentially increase the transmission and spread of various diseases including HIV/AIDS, which needed strict surveillance. In the current study, a total of 2,961,530 specimens were collected between 2012 and 2016 from the entry-exit populations at front...

Zusammenfassung:The cross border movement of populations would potentially increase the transmission and spread of various diseases including HIV/AIDS, which needed strict surveillance. In the current study, a total of 2,961,530 specimens were collected between 2012 and 2016 from the entry-exit populations at frontier ports of China for epidemiology and molecular epidemiology study. Results showed that HIV-1 prevalence rate among these populations was significantly higher than that of other general populations in China (p
