From the article:
"The discovery of a rare new strain of HIV for the first time in nearly 20 years recently made headlines around the world.
The big question is what the discovery means for the overall response to the HIV epidemic.
A team of US researchers from Abbott, an American medical devices and health care company, led by Mary Rodgers and co-authors at the University of Missouri, announced the discovery in a study published in the Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. The new subtype is the first strain to be identified since guidelines for classifying new HIV strains were first established in 2000."
