Vukuzazi ("Wake up and know yourself " in isiZulu) was established in 2018 to offer a community-based health phenotyping and comprehensive bio-sampling to all resident adult (=15 years) members of the Africa Health Research Institute demographic health surveillance population, while building upon the existing wealth of demographic and HIV information collected over the previous 20 years. The objective of the platform was to determine the prevalence and overlap of infectious diseases and NCDs in the population 20 years into the HIV epidemic. Additionally, the platform aimed to create a data, image and biorepository that could be used to understand the host, pathogen, social and environmental determinants of specific states of health and disease in the population.
The purpose of the genomic HIV data was to understand HIV transmission patterns among HIV infected individuals in rural KwaZulu Natal. To address this question, consensus polymerase sequences were derived from HIV positive samples with viral load greater than 200 copies/ml.

Consensus sequences were derived from full-length HIV Next Generation Sequencing data generated by the PANGEA-HIV 2 (phylogenetics and Networks for Generalised Epidemics in Africa). Consensus sequences are presented in the standard fasta file format.
