HIV-1 subtype O is a new HIV variant originating in the West-Central African region, with highest prevalences in countries such as Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon. Detection of antibodies to HIV-1 subtype O can pose problems in unmodified ELISA tests, and confirmation of anti-HIV-1 subtype O in immunoblot may give false negative results in some specimens. Nucleic acid-based assays designed for HIV-1 detection do not amplify or detect sequences from HIV-1 subtype O. In their env sequences, HIV-1 subtype O strains show a higher heterogeneity than the classical HIV-1 subtypes, leading to the conclusion that HIV-1 subtype O has been introduced into the human population only recently. Further, unidentified subtypes are also likely to exist.
