  1. Patient characteristics in population A (with available viral near full-length NGS sequences obtained from HIV-1 plasma RNA) and population B (with available partial pol Sanger sequences obtained from HIV-1 plasma RNA).
  2. The time of untreated HIV-1 infection was calculated using the estimated HIV-1 infection dates. Pre-ART log10 HIV-1 RNA copies/ml plasma and pre-ART CD4+ cell count/μl blood refer to the last laboratory values available before initiation of ART. Transmission group stratified by sex indicates the self-reported route of infection (men who have sex with men (MSM), heterosexual (HET), people who inject drugs (PWID), and other (including unknown, transfusions, and perinatal transmission)).
