Figure. Phylogenetic analyses of 7 HIV-1 isolates identified in Taiwan. TW-7496, TW-D16, TW-D17, and TW-D22 were collected from detention center inmates; TW-9541 and TW-9539 were collected from a blood donor and 1 of his donation recipients. This neighbor-joining tree was created from 100 bootstrap samples of aligned env sequences corresponding to the 7077–7340 nucleotide residues of HIV-1-HXB2 from different isolates. Bootstrap values are shown on branch nodes. Reference isolates from the GenBank HIV database are indicated by subtype.
