Fig 6.
The decay of the FDC viral pool in the first months and years of treatment. The solid lines show the model calculation. The averages and standard deviations of the logarithm of the measured HIV RNA on FDC (12) are shown by dots and bars, respectively. We use parameter values σn = 3.0 and association rate constant kx = 0.55 k−x/<RT> in the calculation. The other parameters used in calculations are the same as those in Fig. 4. The decay of the FDC viral pool slows down steadily over 5 years (right).
