  abstract = {{I}n this sequence note we describe the full-length genome sequence of an {HIV}-1 isolate originting from the {W}est {A}frican country of {M}ali. {T}he phylogenetic tree analysis from the near full-length genome shows that the 95{ML}84 strain forms a separate cluster, supported by 100% of the bootstrap values, with the previously described {A}/{G}/{J}/? mosaic virus {BFP}90 from {B}urkina {F}aso. {A}dditional analysis showed that throughout the genome the lowest diversity was seen between the 95{ML}84 and the {BFP}90 viruses, and bootscan analysis showed a similar complex genomic structure. {I}n addition to the initial report describing the {BFP}90 virus as an {A}/{G}/{J}/? recombinant, our data show that for the {BFP}90 and 95{ML}84 strains the unclassified region corresponds to subtype 1. {T}he {A}/{G}/{I}/{J} {BFP}90 and 95{ML}84 strains represent the fifth and most complex circulating recombinant form of {HIV}-1 detected so far, and our data show its presence in various {W}est {A}frican countries. {S}ubtype 1 and {J} sequences, initially considered rare, seem to have broadened their geographical spread by way of these recombinant forms.
