Continuous recombination and variation during replication could lead to rapid evolution and genetic diversity of HIV-1. Some studies had identified that it was easy to develop new recombinant strains of HIV-1 among the populations of men who have sex with men (MSM). Surveillance of genetic variants of HIV-1 in key populations was crucial for comprehending the development of regional HIV-1 epidemics. The finding was reported the identification of two new unique recombinant forms (URF 20110561 and 21110743) from individuals infected with HIV-1 in Tongzhou, Beijing in 2020-2022. Sequences of near full-length genome (NFLG) were amplified, then identification of amplification products used phylogenetic analyses. The result showed that CRF01_AE was the main backbone of 20110561 and 21110743. In the
