a

Baseline weight measured prior to first SHIV challenge.

b

Age of macaque at start of study.

c

The LOQ for both TFV and FTC was 10 ng/ml.

d

Calculated by dividing the weight-adjusted plasma drug concentration (estimated assuming a plasma volume of 33 ml/kg) (8) by the amount of drug applied (0.03 g TFV; 0.15 g FTC).
