Most studies on HIV-1 proviruses that persist during antiretroviral therapy have focused on males with HIV-1 subtype B, even though the majority of people living with HIV globally have non-B subtypes. Here, the authors describe the proviral genetic landscape of HIV-1 subtypes A1 and D in Ugandan females and males using near-full-length proviral sequencing. The authors also describe a molecular assay for intact proviral quantification of these HIV-1 subtypes.
