Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 serotype C was found in 545 of 712 Ethiopian patients by peptide enzyme immunoassay. Serotyping failed in 146 samples due to the absence of V3 antibodies or multiple reactivities. In 6 of 34 samples, discordant results were obtained by serotyping and genotyping, possibly due to divergent V3 sequences.
