Abstract
Burkina Faso presents a relatively young HIV epidemic, with the diversification of the current in-country CRF02_AG and CRF06_cpx lineages taking place around 1980. This country represents the main source of CRF06_cpx in West Africa. The CRF02_AG epidemic started at least a decade earlier and showed much interchange between West African countries (especially involving coastal countries) suggesting great population mobility and an extensive viral spread in the region.
