Brief Report: Onward Transmission of Multiple HIV-1 Unique Recombinant Forms Among Men Who Have Sex With Men in Beijing, China

Conclusions: We introduced a new method to provide evidence for onward transmission of URF strains by examining the absence of intersubtype coinfection among early infected individuals. Onward transmission of multiple URFs was found among MSM in Beijing, China. Our findings call for a program of continuous molecular surveillance and have implications to prevention programs among MSM in China.
