Abstract The heterosexual risk group has become the largest HIV infected group in the United Kingdom during the last 10 years, but little is known of the network structure and dynamics of viral transmission in this group.
Results Detection of transmission clusters From the sequence dataset representing over 25, subjects, non-B subtypes were identified mainly using the REGA method [15] , with additional information from ad hoc phylogenetic analysis see Methods. Download: PPT. Figure 1. Transmission intervals We previously made use of the statistically rigorous approach of relaxed-clock phylogenetics implemented in BEAST to obtain estimates, and highest posterior density distributions, of dated nodes within clusters [12].
Figure 4. Histogram of internal branch lengths from time-scaled trees representing minimum transmission intervals. Discussion We have retrospectively investigated the dynamics of the developing heterosexual HIV epidemic in the UK by applying Bayesian phylogenetic analysis to anonymised viral sequences obtained in the course of routine clinical treatment. Sequences Where multiple sequences were present for patients within the database the oldest sequence was selected. Identification of transmission clusters Phylogenetic analysis was performed as described earlier [12] , initially removing 39 codons associated with antiretroviral resistance creating an alignment of nucleotides in length.
