Moderate prevalence of transmitted drug resistance and high HIV‐1 genetic diversity in patients from Mato Grosso State, Central Western Brazil
TL;DR: A moderate prevalence of transmitted resistance and the co‐circulation of subtypes B, F1, C, different recombinants, including the first report of subtype D, were found in Mato Grosso State, far from the epicenter of the epidemic.
