Abstract

In this project, we will perform the longitudinal evaluation of the evolution of people HIV-1-positive in our cohort, performing a survey of epidemiological data. We will also evaluate the Brazilian variant B-GWGR and seek correlations with the results found in the longitudinal evaluation. In these epidemiological data, we will evaluate the distribution of subtype B and the B-GWGR mutation present in the cohort. (AU)
