We herein report the first case of HIV-1 subtype C described in Mexico, which was detected in a South African patient who died in Mexico of an AIDS-related non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Although HIV-1 subtype B is the predominant virus circulating in Mexico, the case reported highlights the importance of molecular monitoring of the spreading of HIV-1 subtypes.
