Abstract
Two Clusters of HIV-1 Infection, Rural Idaho, USA, 2008
Highlights
We suspected transmission of HIV-1 between persons in clusters A and B, whether the clusters were linked epidemiologically remained unclear after an initial investigation
We used sequence data from a patient residing in city B who had received an HIV-1 diagnosis in December 2008 but was not epidemiologically linked to either cluster
Ten of the HIV case-patients for whom nucleotide sequence data were obtained were infected with HIV-1, subtype B, and were placed into 2 distinct phylogenetic-related groupings
Summary
Two Clusters of HIV-1 Infection, Rural Idaho, USA, 2008 During 2003–2007, an average of 30 (range 24–42) cases of new HIV-1 infection diagnoses per year among Idaho residents were reported. In March 2008, a cluster of newly identified HIV-1 infections that included 5 cases (cluster A) in a rural southeastern Idaho city (city A) was reported to the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare.
