Scientists at Abbott (ABT +0.9%) have found a new strain of HIV, called Group M, subtype L, the 10th in the M group.
Group M strains are the most common, responsible for ~90% of global human infections.
The discovery is not expected to alter the current way HIV is treated or diagnosed.
Abbott intends to make the DNA sequence publicly available for study. It has no plans to develop a diagnostic test.
