  abstract = {{F}or the first time the genetic diversity among the uniformed personnel in {K}inshasa, the capital city of the {D}emocratic {R}epublic of {C}ongo ({DRC}), a country that has experienced military conflicts since 1998 and in which the global {HIV}-1/{M} pandemic started, has now been documented. {A} total of 94 {HIV}-1-positive samples, collected in 2007 in {K}inshasa garrison settings from informed consenting volunteers, were genetically characterized in the pol region (protease and {RT}). {A}n extensive diversity was observed, with 51% of the strains corresponding to six pure subtypes ({A} 23%, {C} 13.8%, {D}, {G}, {H}, {J}, and untypable), 15% corresponding to nine different {CRF}s (01, 02, 11, 13, 25, 26, 37, 43, and 45), and 34% being unique recombinants with one-third being complex mosaic viruses involving three or more different subtypes/{CRF}s. {O}nly one strain harbored a single mutation, {I}54{V}, associated with drug resistance to protease inhibitors. {D}ue to their high mobility and potential risk behavior, {HIV} infections in military personnel can lead to an even more complex epidemic in the {DRC} and to a possible increase of subtype {C}.},
