Alignment of V3 sequences from HIV-1 infected plasma from Cameroon.

<p>Predictions by different algorithms were compared with phenotype characterization. Concordant genotypic predictions of R5-tropic (R5) or X4-tropic (X4) viruses with virus phenotype were indicated with an asterisk (*).</p

Prediction of HIV-1 co-receptor usage by using genotypic methods.

<p>(A) Prediction was assessed for the total number of samples. (B) Prediction was assessed in samples infected with HIV-1 subtype CRF02_AG or non-CRF02_AG strains.</p
