Detailed Molecular Surveillance of the HIV-1 Outbreak Among People Who Inject Drugs (PWID) in Athens During a Period of Four Years.

CONCLUSION: HIV transmissions within subtype A1 and CRF35_AD LTNs increased sharply during the early stage of the outbreak, in contrast to subtype B and CRF14_BG. A significant reduction in the number of infections was estimated on all transmission networks from the beginning of 2013 onwards. Prevention measures that took place in the Athens Metropolitan Area at the end of 2012 including also the ARISTOTLE program may explain this decrease.
