1. Introduction Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is caused by human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and type 2 (HIV-2). HIV-2 is largely confined to West Africa and countries with socioeconomic ties to the region, like Portugal and France [1]. Currently, it is estimated that approximately 1–2 million people worldwide are infected with HIV-2, accounting for 3–5% of the global burden of HIV [2,3].
A 4-year-old child born to an HIV-1 seronegative mother was diagnosed with HIV-1, the main risk factor being transmission from the child's father who was seroconverting at the time of the child's birth. In the context of a forensic investigation, we aimed to identify the source of infection of the child and date of the transmission event. Samples were collected from the father and child at two time points about 4 years after the child's birth.
