Figure 7. Relative contributions of ongoing viral replication and latent cell activation.

Figure 7

A and B: the effects of ongoing viral replication (influenced by the overall drug efficacy) on the latent reservoir and viral load in the model given by Eq. (6). Different drug efficacies are used: Inline graphic (red dashed line) and Inline graphic (blue solid line). Ongoing viral replication is only a minor contributor to the stability of the latent reservoir and low-level persistent viremia, as indicated by the minor effect of changing drug efficacy from Inline graphic to Inline graphic. C and D: relative contributions of ongoing viral replication (Inline graphic was fixed) and latent cell activation to the latent reservoir and viral persistence. C: the ratio of Inline graphic to Inline graphic, and D: the ratio of Inline graphic to Inline graphic. We chose Inline graphic. The other parameter values used are listed in Table 1.
