Abstract OBJECTIVES: MSM comprise approximately 30% of new HIV infections in Israel, a country with mixed Jewish and Arab populations. We molecularly characterized HIV-1 in the Arab and Jewish MSM (AMSM, JMSM) populations to reveal possible interethnical connections. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. METHODS: All Israeli-born, HIV-1-infected MSM diagnosed between 2005 and 2016 (n = 1143) were cross-matched with the National Civil Registry to identify religion (Jews/Muslims/Christians). Transmitted drug-resistance mutations (TDRM) and HIV-1 subtypes were determined on the first partial protease and reverse transcriptase sequences from treatment-naive patients and phylogenetic trees were constructed. RESULTS: Among MSM, 6.4% (73/1143) were Arabs and 93.6% (1070/1143) were Jews. Interestingly, a higher proportion of Arabs was identified among non-MSM (19%, 46/247 versus 6.4%, 73/1143, P < 0.01). Subtype analysis of 62 HIV-1 AMSM and 440 randomly selected HIV-1 JMSM sequences revealed 80.6, 8.1, 4.8 and 6.5% of AMSM and 82.3, 9.5, 4.1 and 4.1% of JMSM had B, A, C and non-A/B/C, respectively. Overall, 13.1% (66/502) had TDRM; reverse transcriptase-K103N/S, M184 V, T215S and protease-L90M were the most common. TDRM prevalence was not significantly higher in JMSM compared to AMSM (P = 0.1) and no temporal changes were observed in their frequency. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated AMSM and JMSM clusters including L90M, K103N/S or T215S TDRM. CONCLUSION: Intermingling of AMSM and JMSM HIV-1 in clusters of HIV-1 sequences suggest interethnical sexual contacts among these MSM. Interventions aiming to prevent HIV-transmission in MSM should similarly address both populations groups. The high TDRM frequency requires continuation of resistance testing.

Mutation Information
Note
Basic Characteristics of Mutations
  • Mutation Site: The specific location in a gene or protein sequence where a change occurs.
  • Mutation Level: The level at which a mutation occurs, including the nucleotide or amino acid level.
  • Mutation Type: The nature of the mutation, such as missense mutation, nonsense mutation, synonymous mutation, etc.
  • Gene/Protein/Region: Refers to the specific region of the virus where the mutation occurs. Including viral genes, viral proteins, or a specific viral genome region. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main
  • Gene/Protein/Region studied in the article is marked.
  • Genotype/Subtype: Refers to the viral genotype or subtype where the mutation occurs. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main Genotype/Subtype studied in the article is marked.
  • Viral Reference: Refers to the standard virus strain used to compare and analyze viral sequences.
Functional Impact and Mechanisms
  • Disease: An abnormal physiological state with specific symptoms and signs caused by viral infection.
  • Immune: The article focuses on the study of mutations and immune.
  • Target Gene: Host genes that viral mutations may affect.
Clinical and Epidemiological Correlations
  • Clinical Information: The study is a clinical or epidemiological study and provides basic information about the population.
  • Treatment: The study mentioned a certain treatment method, such as drug resistance caused by mutations. If the study does not specifically indicate the relationship between mutations and their correspondence treatment, the main treatment studied in the article is marked.
