Abstract
As part of a continuing effort to monitor the molecular epidemiology of HIV-1 in northern Greece, in this study we determined the genetic diversity and the prevalence of drug resistance transmission among HIV-1 strains isolated from 94 newly-diagnosed untreated consenting patients in the period 2009 to 2010.

As part of a continuing effort to monitor the molecular epidemiology of HIV-1 in northern Greece, in this study we determined the genetic diversity and the prevalence of drug resistance transmission among HIV-1 strains isolated from 94 newly-diagnosed untreated consenting patients in the period 2009 to 2010
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC’s) DNA encoding partial env(gp120) V3-loop region was amplified by nested PCR and sequenced using an in-house tropism assay at the Department of Biological Sciences, University of Cyprus
Tropism testing indicated most of the HIV-1 strains as R5-tropic (96%)
