We report the identification of a new HIV-1 circulating recombinant form (CRF47_BF) derived from subtypes B and F. It was initially identified in protease-reverse transcriptase sequences from nine individuals from three separate regions of Spain who acquired HIV-1 infection via sexual contact. All nine sequences formed a strongly supported phylogenetic cluster, branching apart from all known CRFs, and in bootscan analyses were BF mosaics with two coincident breakpoints. Two epidemiologically unlinked viruses were sequenced in near full-length genomes, which exhibited identical mosaic structures, with 16 intersubtype breakpoints in a genome predominantly of subtype B. Subtype F segments of the new CRF failed to cluster with any of the near full-length genome subtype F sequences available in public databases. Recent dates of HIV-1 diagnoses and short genetic distances suggest a recent origin of this CRF. This is the tenth reported CRF_BF, the first apparently having originated outside of South America.
