^aResults of the standard AMPLICOR MONITOR assay.

^bThere were significant differences in the days on which cultures turned positive between samples with different plasma HIV-1 concentrations (P < 0.001, GEE test).

^cExcludes five samples for which no plasma HIV-1 RNA result was available for the same time at which the culture was obtained.
