ABSTRACT
Previous molecular epidemiological studies show that at least 2 subtypes of HIV-1 circulate in Thailand. HIV-1 subtype B or Thai genotype B was associated with an early epidemic and was prevalent in intravenous drug users. Meanwhile, HIV-1 subtype E or Thai genotype A was becoming widespread among heterosexuals. We studied the HIV subtypes of 161 HIV-1 seropositive pregnant women. Of these, 143 pregnant patients (88.8%) tested positive for subtype E alone and 8 women (5.0%) had evidence of infection with subtype B alone. There was serologic evidence of infection with a mixture of subtypes in 7 women while the infecting subtype could not be identified in the remaining 3 women. This result agrees with previous information that subtype E predominates in Thai heterosexuals.
