摘要
Infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has been a major public health concern worldwide for more than 30 years, including in Romania. The F1 HIV-1 subtype was exported from Angola to Romania most probably because of the two countries' close political connections. Patients infected with HIV-1 via re-used and improperly sterilized injection equipment and through transfusions of unscreened blood, also known as the "Romanian cohort", were the most common type of HIV-1 infection in Romania in the early 1990s, when the virus's presence was recognized. Recently, subtype B started to increase in our country, mostly diagnosed in people using intravenous drugs or in men having sex with men. The evolution of the HIV-1 infection in Romania has been unique, with a dominance of the subtype F1, making it different from other countries in Europe.
