Highlights: [•] We analyzed HIV-1 molecular epidemiology and dynamics of viral transmission in Serbia. [•] Predominance of subtype B was found with subtype G as the most prevalent non-B subtype. [•] The prevailing risk for HIV infection in Serbia has changed from IDUs to MSM transmission. [•] Local HIV transmission clusters are highly associated with MSM and subtype B. [•] Epidemic spread of HIV in Serbia within the local network started in the beginning of 90s. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
