The impact of the heightened HIV-1 plasma RNA viral load (VL) on HIV epidemic trajectory. Simulated HIV epidemic trajectory in Kisumu, Kenya. (A) HIV prevalence in presence of the HIV-1 VL effect compared to HIV prevalence in absence of this effect. (B) Fraction of incident HIV-1 infections (population attributable fraction) at each point in time ( PAF ), and cumulatively since 1980 ( PAFCum), due to the VL effect. The empirically measured prevalences are extracted from several studies (SuppDC Section 4.2).
