  abstract = {{HIV}-1 {S}ubtype {D} occurs mainly in {E}ast and {C}entral {A}frican countries, especially {U}ganda, where the prevalence of {HIV}-1 infection is among the highest in the world. {W}e present the phylogenetic analysis of one nonau-tochthonous and four autochthonous (including a near full-length genome) {B}razilian {HIV}-1 subtype {D} strains identified in {R}io de {J}aneiro {S}tate, where subtypes {B}, {F}1, and {BF}1 recombinants predominate. {P}hylogenetic inferences using maximum likelihood were applied on a near-full length genome and on concatenated gag, protease, reverse transcriptase, integrase, {C}2{V}3/env, gp41, and nef segments. {S}equences from an {A}ngolan immigrant showed close genetic similarity with a strain described in {F}inland, from an {HIV} patient of {A}frican origin, whereas all four autochthonous {B}razilian sequences clustered with {S}outh {A}frican strains, where subtype {D} occurs only in isolated cases. {O}ur results suggest the successful introduction and circulation in {B}razil of closely related {HIV}-1 subtype {D} strains, possibly of {S}outh {A}frican origin.},
