Abstract
The available knowledge regarding classification, nomenclature, and reference sequence selection for the various sub-subtypes of circulating recombinant forms (CRFs) is inadequate to fulfill the growing demands of research focused on HIV prevention. We analyzed the spread of CRF01_AE and CRF07_BC strains, mainly in China, to complement and update the existing nomenclature and to propose a reference sequence selection criteria for sub-subtypes of CRFs.
