Methods A total of 120 CRF12_BF-like and 20 CRF38_BF-like pol recombinant sequences collected in Argentina and Uruguay from 1997 to 2009 were subjected to phylogenetic and Bayesian coalescent-based analyses to estimate evolutionary and demographic parameters. Results Phylogenetic analyses revealed that CRF12_BF viruses from Argentina and Uruguay constitute a single epidemic with multiple genetic exchanges among countries whereas circulation of the CRF38_BF seems to be confined to Uruguay. The mean estimated substitution rate of CRF12_BF at pol gene 2.5 X 10-3 substitutions site year was similar to that previously described for subtype B. According to our estimates CRF12_BF and CRF38_BF originated at 1983 1978-1988 and 1986 1981-1990 respectively. After their emergence the CRF12_BF and CRF38_BF epidemics seem to have experienced a period of rapid expansion with initial growth rates of around 1.2 year-1 and 0.9 year-1 respectively. Later the rate of spread of these CRFs_BF seems to have slowed down since the mid-1990s. Conclusions Our results suggest that CRF12_BF and CRF38_BF viruses were generated during the 1980s shortly after the estimated introduction of subtype F1 in South America 1975-1980 . After an initial phase of fast exponential expansion the rate of spread of both CRFs_BF epidemics seems to have slowed down thereby following a demographic pattern that resembles .
