Figure 5. Examples of HIV-1 Transmission Classified as Linked by SM Sequencing.

Figure 5

Example of a pair (Pair 17) whose consensus env sequences were unlinked, with linkage subsequently determined by single molecule (SM) env sequences. The linkage criteria used during adjudication are displayed in the table. Three linked sequences from the HIV-1 infected partner, PP17A variant 1, along with the sequences from the seroconverting partner PP17B are bounded by the solid rectangle. Unlinked sequences from the HIV-1 infected partner, PP17A variant 2 are delineated by the dotted rectangle.
