Figure 5. Kaplan-Meier estimates of treatment success (probability of no virological failure) for very high initial abundance of drug resistant mutants.
The figure shows the outcome of 500 simulations for the proposed induction-maintenance strategy (blue line) and for the conventional HAART therapy (red line), respectively. Dashed lines indicate the 95% confidence ranges, calculated using Greenwood's formula. The initial abundance of drug resistant mutants was set to 1% of the population. Other parameter values: = 0.75,
= 0.8.
