Fig. 1From: Prolonged persistence of a novel replication-defective HIV-1 variant in plasma of a patient on suppressive therapyART-mediated suppression of plasma viral load (VL) in patient G. Plasma VLs were measured by clinical assays with detection limits of 48 (prior to March 2011) or 20 copies/ml; results below the limit of detection were graphed as 47 and 19 copies/ml, respectively. Two VL blips of 297 and 100 copies/ml occurred in January 2011 and May 2016, respectively. Blood samples collected at 1st visit, 2nd visit, and so on in the study are indicated by G1, G2, etc., respectivelyBack to article page
