1 /1/1 The challenges of diversity: HIV-1 subtype distribution and transmission s within the Australian Molecular Epidemiology Network-HIV -1 Castley A, Sawleshwarkar S, Varma R, Herring B, Thapa K, Chibo D, Nguyen N, Hawke K, Ratcliff R, Dwyer DE, Nolan D: The Australian Molecular Epidemiology Network-HIV (AMEN-HIV). laboratories throughout Australia for >1 years 1 laboratories throughout Australia for >1 years C subtype laboratories throughout Australia for >1 years C subtype AE subtype Phylogenetic analysis: statistical approach, used globally. Viral sequence similarity: More likely from a transmission chain/ (does not infer direct transmission) More likely to be found in early versus long-term infection (host factors) Dependent on sequence quality and Data analysis at one site Sequence alignments checked 1 1 Duplicate sequences checked length of HIV-1 sequence assessed Complete dataset other than NSW Overall: 1 7 sequences Sainani K. Methods Australian Molecular Epidemiology Network (AMEN) formed December 1 All states and territories represented (NT + Tas Vic) Ethics and governance framework established De-identified HIV-1 sequence results Gender, age, state Year of sequencing HIV-1 sequences (RT + PR)

4 /1/1 AMEN collaboration has established a national approach to HIV-1 molecular epidemiology studies Ethics and Governance frameworks are in place National database: prospective as well as retrospective dataset Inclusion of NSW data underway Platform for research collaboration: non-affiliated. Not a contact tracing analysis De-identified baseline viral sequencing data 19 s in Australia Overall ~% of sequences are non-b-subtype Increasing proportions across all states, with a broad range of subtypes reflecting geographic origins. Reflects a growing influence of migration and travel Wide age distribution for both B- and non-bsubtype More pediatric cases with non-s More females with non-s (esp. C-subtype) B-subtype sequences remain predominantly associated with males HIV-1 phylogenetic clusters in Australia Overall ~% sequences classified within clusters Similar proportions of B-subtype (%) and non-bsubtype (%) sequences within clusters Higher proportion of male/female clusters in non-b C-subtype (S Africa, India): 9% AE-subtype (SE Asia): % B-subtype: 1% Highlights the national structure of HIV-1 in Australia Common challenges to all states Growing impact of travel and migration Benefits of engagement with international partners Provides a basis for creating and monitoring prevention strategies No obvious clustering according to state.
