Abstract
The phylogenetic analyses showed that the Romanian C strains are very diverse overall, clustered in several groups characterized by common transmission route (transfusion/surgical procedures) or local geographical relatedness. The HIV-1 epidemics in Romania apparently followed different patterns for subtypes F and C. While subtype F1 seems to have been monoclonally introduced and extensively spread in the 80s, the subtype C strains, although present in the late 80s, failed to spread to the same extent.
