Randomized trial identifies novel HIV-1 circulating recombinant form in diverse populations, suggesting ongoing viral evolution.

The aim is to identify a new HIV-1 circulating recombinant form in Yunnan, China, highlighting its origin and significance.
Obtained nearly full-length HIV-1 genome sequences from three individuals without epidemiological links.
Conducted recombination and phylogenetic analyses to characterize the novel strain.
Utilized Bayesian phylogenetic methods to estimate the origin of the recombinant form.
Identified a novel HIV-1 CRF, CRF200_0755, distinct from all known subtypes and CRFs.
The recombinant strain carries the V179E resistance mutation associated with CRF55_01B.
Phylogenetic analyses indicate the recombinant form originated around 2019.

Chen et al. (2026) studied this question.
