We investigated the molecular characteristics of human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) subtype A isolates to clarify the transmission mode of HIV-2 within Korea. These findings indicated that the viruses from the six patients infected within Korea formed a distinct subcluster in the phylogenetic tree and might have been transmitted from one source.
