Ongoing viral replication persists in cells with low APOBEC3 (shown in green) with little to no APOBEC3 mutation but infection of cells expressing high APOBEC3 (shown in blue) leads to hypermutation of the viral genome, resulting in lethal restriction of HIV. Replication competent viruses are shown in red, defective virions are shown in black.
