Body weights and plasma viral load in five SIV-infection stages

Stage	Body weight, kg	Plasma viral load, log10/ml
Preinfection	6.82 ± 1.34	NA
Acute	6.77 ± 1.11	7.84 ± 0.49
Steady state	6.89 ± 1.34	6.88 ± 0.54
Progressing 1	ND	7.70 ± 0.49
Progressing 2	ND	8.19 ± 0.42
Progressing 3	6.35 ± 0.78	8.32 ± 0.22

The data are means ± SD. The values are those closest to the time points used for circadian analysis, except for the acute stage, for which the peak viral load is given as that occurring between days 10 and 17 after inoculation. NA, not applicable; ND, not determined due to missing data points.
