A population-based surveillance registry was used to identify human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected persons in the United States at increased risk for group O and group N infections (those born in or near African countries where group O infection has been reported). Of 155 eligible subjects, 37 gave samples. By phylogenetic and serologic analysis, 32 were infected with group M (16 with subtype A, 5 with B, 7 with C, and 1 each with subtypes D, F2, G, and recombinant A/J) and 2 with group O but none with group N virus. For 3, samples could not be typed by serology or amplified by polymerase chain reaction using group M-, O-, or N-specific primers. In the United States, group O HIV infection is uncommon; no case of group N infection was found. African-born persons may have HIV strains typical of their birth country. Ongoing subtype surveillance may allow early identification of novel or emerging HIV strains.
