The purpose of this study was address one key question: What is the contribution of external sources of HIV in driving the epidemic within a community. High rates of cross-community transmission calls into question the efficacy of increasing local coverage of antiretroviral therapy to prevent new infections. To address this question, 1068 polymerase sequences were derived from sampling conducted within the Africa Health Research Insitute's demographic surveillance area between 2010 and 2013. AHRI genotypes were analysed against a large national dataset of homologous sequences in a novel phylodynamic framework to infer the overall transmission dynamics within the community. This allowed us to enumerate the relative contribution of local transmission versus external introductions to the overall HIV incidence in the community. Major variables within the dataset to answer this question are: (1) the genotype; (2) the community's location from which the genotype was derived; and (3) the date of sampling.

HIV positive individuals within the demographic surveillance area of the Africa Health Research Insititue from 2010 to 2013. Individuals blood spots were only attempted sequencing if they:
A) Had a viral load done
B) Viral load was above 1,550 copies/ml
C) The laboratory got approximately 60% success rate on sequencing them, they should have the list that they attempt to sequence and the ones that were successful.

Sequences were generated by the Durban based laboratory of AHRI. Sequences were aligned with one another in ClustalW and are presented in the standard fasta file format.
