The results showed that rs34660854 A and rs75368165 A in ATR gene and rs3756766 A in Cdc25C gene could increase the risk of HIV-1 infection (P = 0.049, OR = 1.234, 95% CI 1.001–1.521; P = 0.020, OR = 1.296, 95% CI 1.042–1.611; P = 0.011, OR = 1.392, 95% CI 1.080–1.794, respectively), while Chk1 rs10893405 (P = 0.029, OR = 1.629, 95% CI 1.051–2.523) were significantly associated with AIDS progression. Here, ATR is linked to AIDS.
