According to the British "Daily Mail" report on February 6, a new hypermutated HIV strain was discovered in the Netherlands recently.
The strain damages the immune system twice as fast as other virus variants, and has now infected 109 people.
, most of which are concentrated in the Netherlands
.
The findings were published in the journal Science by a collaboration between Oxford University's Big Data Institute and the Netherlands Foundation for HIV Surveillance
.
The new mutant, known as the VB variant, has a viral load that is 3.
5 to 5.
5 times higher than the current strain, according to the results of the study, which means that infected patients can quickly spread the virus to others
.
In addition, the strain impairs the immune system and weakens the patient's ability to fight everyday infections and illnesses compared to previous viruses
.
The research team collected HIV samples from places including Europe and Uganda and detected 17 new HIV strains, including 2 from Switzerland and Belgium and 15 from the Netherlands
.
To further understand the spread of the virus in the Netherlands, the research team further tested more than 6,700 positive samples in the Netherlands and determined that 92 people carried the variant, bringing the total number of cases to 109
.
The team then tested HIV samples from global databases, but no cases of infection with the novel strain have been found in other regions
.
According to the researchers, health declines rapidly after infection with the VB variant, so early detection and early treatment are critical
.
After receiving treatment, the patient's immune system generally recovers quickly, and the survival rate is not much different from that of people infected with other HIV strains
.
By analyzing the genetic variation in the samples, the team found that the VB variant first "appeared" in the Netherlands in the 1990s, and although it spread much faster than other strains in the early days, after 2010, due to improved medical care dropped
.
How the variant emerged, why it spreads more rapidly, and how it damages the immune system is still unclear
.
With more than 100,000 people diagnosed with HIV in the UK, researchers recommend that Britons should be tested for HIV infection at least once a year, while men who have sex with men should be tested every three months
.
The results of this study further support the relevant guidance of the World Health Organization on the prevention and treatment of HIV, that is, individuals at risk of HIV infection should undergo relevant testing on a regular basis, so as to achieve early diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible
