The aim of this study was the analysis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) diversity in Venezuela, and the characterization of variants other than subtype B. A total of 425 HIV isolates, collected between 2003 and 2008, were analyzed. The sequence of at least one genomic region (Pol, Env, Vif, or Nef) was available for all of them and at least two genomic regions were analyzed in 46% of them. From the 425 HIV isolates analyzed, 421 (99.1%) were classified as HIV-1 subtype B. The four non-subtype B isolates correspond to one subtype C, one recombinant AG, and two HIV-2 isolates. This study shows that HIV-1 subtype B is still highly predominant in Venezuela. Whereas some sporadic cases of other HIV types can be found, they do not seem to have disseminated to the present.
