Abstract

Migration is today a new global phenomenon, with a total of 272 million of international migrants, according to the UNDESA (United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs) data of the year 2019 (1). Among the HIV-1 diagnosed individuals in the EU/EEA in 2018, 42% were migrants, defined as originating from outside of the country in which they were diagnosed (2). In Italy, migrants accounted for nearly 30% of all newly diagnosis of HIV infection in the last years (2). Phylogenetic analysis has been used successfully to identify and dissect HIV-1 transmission clusters (TCs). When combined with epidemiological and clinical data, the results of such analysis can be of public health relevance, for example by identifying how virus lineages are restricted to, or mix among, different demographic and behavioural subgroups (3,4).
