HIV-1 Subtype Diversity in Morocco: Signals of Change and Implications for National Surveillance

2025Open accessMohammed V University

Abstract

This study provides updated insight into HIV-1 diversity in Morocco, showing a predominance of non-B subtypes, particularly CRF02_AG, and signals of increasing heterogeneity compared with reports from more than a decade ago that described subtype B predominance. These findings suggest a viral transition shaped in part by regional connectivity and highlight a gap in Morocco's HIV strategy, underscoring the need to implement nationwide molecular surveillance to inform future HIV control efforts.
