Fig. 1. Changes of the proportion of gross deletion in the 5’ LTR/gag gene (gΔ). Proportion of gΔ was significantly increased on Korean red ginseng (KRG) intake only (28.1%, 54/192) compared with that prior to KRG intake (10%, 3/30) (p<0.05). The detection of gΔ was significantly inhibited during highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) and KRG intake compared with during KRG only (16.4%, 35/214) (p<0.01).
