Dried blood spot (DBS) specimens were assessed as an alternative to plasma for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) serotyping by V3 loop peptide enzyme immunoassay. Nested PCR capable of distinguishing HIV-1 subtypes B and E was used as the reference standard. Ninety-two percent of DBS samples were typeable as either HIV-1 subtype B or E. Serotype results with DBS and plasma were identical for 254 of 257 specimens. A simple DBS collection method provides a convenient alternative for conducting HIV-1 serotype surveillance while retaining sensitivity and specificity.
