Figure 1. Decline and Stable Persistence of Plasma HIV-1 RNA in Patients Suppressed on Antiretroviral Therapy.
Plasma from patients initiating antiretroviral therapy with stavudine + lamivudine + efavirenz (patients A and B) or stavudine + lamivudine + indinavir + nevirapine (patient C) was assayed by bDNA (diamonds) and SCA (squares). Levels of virus above the limit of detection for each assay are shown by filled symbols; levels below this limit are shown by hollow symbols plotted at the assay limit.
